as many of my buddies know, one of my goals for 2007 is to find a new job. Well I have a good lead on one. I have updated my resume and written the cover letter now I am just waiting on a little more information before I can submit them. I won’t say too much yet as I don’t want to jinx things. This will be the best thing for me as it is at least closer to what I went back to school for and also pays better (means I can give up the weekend job too). I will miss my kids from my bus run if I get it and that will be hard as I have grown so attached, but I need to do this for me and for my family.

I am also totaly back on track as far as my diet goes. I did well yesterday and I already feel better today. I am back on track with my water too. I had a problem with this one with the boss at work he was on a big kick about drinking on the bus, but many others besides me let him know that we need to be able to drink water to keep hydrated especially as the weather grows warmer. I can see his point if it is coffee and soda but no way on the water. I think part of it is the big messes some of the drivers and monitors leave on their busses. I take care of ours every day, either I or my driver takes care of our trash and I sweep and keep our bus neat every day, I know we represent our company. The boss has not said any more and I will continue to take water with me and take my potty breaks when the children are delivered to school or home.

I hope all of my buddies are having a glorious day!

Why do I do this? I have come so far and now I have been messing up for 3 weeks. I have come up with so many excuses for messing up. First it was my stress from what my kids were putting me through, then it was the part time job, then it was being overwhelmed with dong all the household chores. I finally have come to the conclusion that I am just full of excuses. I am so tired all the time and I was begining to feel great eating better and getting more excercise. Last night I actually fell asleep on the couch at 6 O’clock and then went to bed and still was exhausted when I got up this morning! Today I will get back on track and stop making excuses! I will come on here and stop hiding the fact that I have been screwing up and embarressed to admit it! I am tired of self sabatoging myself. I will make the time for me and eating right and getting more excercise.

I am off to work, but I will come back on here when I get home inbetween my runs and catch up on your blogs.

Have a great day!

I am trying to stick to plan, but it just does not seem to be happening right now!

I have some stressfull issues right now with my kids and it has been hard to stick to plan. Plus the new job has been a little stressfull, I think I finally caught on to the paperwork, boy was that confusing! I hope I finally understand it, because I am working tonight as soon as I get done with my day job! One of my new co-workers needed the night off to go to a special dinner with her hubby so she asked me if I could work for her tonight! I don’t really don’t want to do to many nights during the week since I get up at 4 for my other job, but figure I can do it once in awhile. I just hope one hand washes the other when it comes time that I need the same consideration!

I am still stuck at the same weight, but at least I have not gained!

Have a great day Buddies!

Oh my goodness, I am not sure! I worked my first cloing by myself at my p/t job! I was so busy I could not believe it! It was crazy, I could not get everything done on the to do list! The customers coming in for beer right up until closing! I was stressing so bad it took my 45 minutes of trying to do the paper work and not getting it figured out right so I left! It is a small family run store and the owner has done this the same way for 30 years or more and it is so confusing compared to things I know! I called today and talked to the girl who is on and she is coming in tonight to help me close again so hopefully I can get the hang of it! My left leg hurt so bad I took Motrin when I got home and I still could not get to sleep, I was still awake at 2:30 when hubby got home from his weekend job! I had to take more Motrin during the night and I woke up this morning still hurting. I guess my legs still aren’t use to the extra standing and walking! They feel pretty good right now, but I can imagine how they will feel by the end of the night!! I sure hope I can get to sleep better tonight as I get up at 4 a.m. for my regular job! I was so stressed I ate a piece of cake and big glass of milk when I got home! Then I felt like crap, because I have not done that in so long, I am usually able to talk myself out of stress eating! Well today is a new day!

I hope you all have a great day!!!!!

this morning!

Hubby is off to his weekend job! I go into my weekend job at 3:00. In the mean time, I get to do the laundry, vacuum and all that fun stuff. Hubby and I had a talk before I took the weekend job, about more help around the house, but I don’t think it sunk in! Oh well, I guess I do what I do and save some work for him, as he has tomorrow off and I don’t!

Well I am up a pound this week! I know I was off track all last weekend right through Monday, so I should not be surprised! I am a little bummed by it, but I know I am back on track, so all should be good next weigh in!

I am off to read blogs!

Have a super weekend!

Just a pretty average boring week here. I have been sticking to plan since Tuesday, but no loss so far.

Well they finally got rid of the b#@ch at work. She finally did something that they were able to get rid of her for. Well they have fired her before, but then she gets hired back. This time hopefully the boss smartened up! We don’t have a time clock at work as many of us leave right from home so we fill out time sheets that have to be turned in by Monday mornings. Well her time sheet she turned in had hours on it she did not work so she finally got caught up with. They had to rearrange runs so that they no longer needed her as a monitor. They offered to let her come in to clean busses and she refused and said she would turn the company into the labor board as cleaning busses is not part of her job description……….LMAO……When I have not had a run due to school closings etc. I have come in and cleaned busses and cleaned in the building in order to get some hours and so have a lot of other people, so I don’t think that will fly.

I hope everyone is having a good week!

Have a great day!

Boy am I glad last week is over!

Yesterday was a great Mothers Day! Hubby was so thoughtful, he bought me a big pot of flowers for the porch, and some new comfy sandals along with a beautiful card. I always do the shopping for our mothers and this year he did it because I was so busy with training for new job. He bought them beautiful cards, but did not know what to get them so he got them gift cards from Wal-Mart. I was impressed because he has never done the Mothers Day shopping before.

I was suppose to work from 3-10 last night. I was at work about 1 1/2 hrs. when the phone rings, it was a co-worker (he is also a former teacher of my youngest son). He asks me “how would you like the rest of Mothers Day off? ” I said “Is this a joke?” He told me no that he had allready visited his mom, mowed his lawn and now had nothing to do, so he thought maybe I would like the rest of the day off after my stressfull training week. He called the boss who said it was okay and he came in. I spent the rest of the day with hubby doing not much but a little bit of shopping.

I am off to work shortly so I will try to catch up on my blogs later.

I hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day!

Have a super day!

I hope you are all having a Happy Mothers Day!!

I have been missing for a few days! I have been training for my weekend job in the evenings this week and last night was my first full night! Tonight will be my second full night and then I will once again have my evenings free except for Saturday and Sunday! I have been kind of worn out trying to work the 2 jobs and keep up on things at home. I will be glad when tonight is over and I will have a some what normal schedule. I was feeling kind of overwhelmed with the p/t job, but I feel better about it now. My boss told me she is very pleased how well I have picked up everything. She told me I have know more than most people that have had the amount of training I have had so far. It is a small country store and she has gotten a lot of good feed back from the customers about me!

I have not stuck to plan so well but I have lost 1/2 lb. this week so I will not complain. I think it is the added excercise of mopping the store, stocking coolers and all the other things I have to do with my p/t job. So I am going to think of this as part of my excercise program!

I won’t have much chance of checking everyones blogs until tomorrow, but I hope you are all doing great!

Have an awesome Mothers Day!

Tuesday afternoon I started feeling crappy. I was freezing cold and it was like 70 degrees. I knew I was coming down with something, but went to my training for my p/t job after working my other job all day! I was having chills and fever all night! Yesterday morning, I had to tell hubby I am not going to work no matter what I don’t care what you have to do! It really bothers me because if we did not work at the same company and he did not have to find me a sub he would be more understanding when I am sick! I stayed home and slept most of the day, I called in for my p/t job and she was very understanding! I feel much better this morning, still not 100 % but much better!

I leave for work shortly, but plan on checking on your blogs when I am home this morning inbetween my runs.

Hope everyone is having a super week!

Yesterday afternoon I had a different driver as mine needed the afternoon off……….I was not looking forward to it and boy was I right not too…….My husband being the dispatcher told the driver I would give him directions as I have been doing this run for a long time. Well the driver decided to take another way then asked me where do we go now……..LOL…yea right I told him I have no idea as I don’t even know where we are!!! He went in a service station and asked and we had to turn around and go back the way we came!!! Then I had 4 of my 5  kids and when we dropped off the 2nd one he asked if we were done yet? Duh we still have 2 so I don’t think so!!!!! Well when we finally drop the kids off and get headed back he takes another wrong turn and I had to tell him. Then he goes another way alltogether that is about 25 miles longer after I told him I needed to get home to get ready to go train for my new job!!! Now today we need to use another bus today as he pushed that one so hard he did something to the motor!! So I will be putting my car seats in as we are on the way, because I am not going to go in early to do it!!!! They better keep him away from me….I just had a gut feeling how things were going to be!!

My training at my new job went great!! I have run register before, but use to the scan ones like at Wal-Mart! These you have to punch everything in, but I did okay!! I only worked from 5-7, but that was okay after the day I had!!! The customers were great and it was actually kind of fun!!

Well I think I will check a few blogs before going to work!!

Have a great day buddies!!
