Long night...

So we are setting the hardware section of the store this week and every single isle is moving to a new location. Today I actually got a 1/2 hour of over time and it was only the first day. Yikes! Granted more days like this, this week would be nice come next payday, but I'm so exhausted it's not even funny!

So right now I'm pretty much waiting for Tom to give word that he's ready to head to bed. I don't think it should be much longer since he has to be up kinda early for a raid, but with Tom it's hard to say.

Moglie is chewing on one of his raw hides we bought him... and is doing so on my lap. *sigh* I love my baby boy, but the sound of his teeth grinding on that thing drives me up and down the wall. Hahah! He's so cute though so I haven't made him move. Guess I'm just patient that way. ((And as if he knew I was talkin' about him he just dropped the raw hide and jumped up to lick my face....slightly clawing at it in the process -ouchness-.)

Okay that's all for today. I'm too tired to try to think of anything else of interest...

I'm bad at shopping....

As in...I'm pretty sure I'm not doin' it right. I didn't spend a single penny when I went shopping with Heather and Jenn today. Not one! I mean I went out with the mindset of "okay, I'm not gonna spend a lot...I'm gonna be good!" and I didn't buy a damn thing. Hmm...it was still a lot of fun though. :o) Won't go into detail about all the stores we went into (cuz well honestly, the first store was an easy one 'the gap' but most of the stores after that I don't even remember the names of). I'll just say that wooowee. Those places are EXPENSIVE! Yeah I think on my budget that my shopping extraveganzas (yeah, I know that's way off, but I'm too tired to care) are going to be limited to Walmart. LoL!

Anyway though...it really was a lot of fun just getting to go out and have some fun with the girls. That's something that I really don't get to do much since I moved to California and I missed it terribly.

So we had fajitas and spanglish rice at Heather's house after we finished with our shopping and that was all pretty good. :o) We also watched the movie 'Zoolander'. Pretty funny actually. I was somewhat surprised. LoL! Jenn left shortly after that and I ended up staying and talking with Heather until about 9pm. (If I was her I'd be way sick of me. Hahah!) It was a lot of fun though. I finally left out of pity for her cuz she seemed ready to crash. LoL. Alls well though cuz I really did wanna get home to Tom. I sort of missed him. (Heehee!)

Now I gotta I go find something to do to try to keep myself awake for a while. Fun fun fun for the whole family! ^_^

Stressed. Money. Stressed. Grr...

*sigh* Been very aware lately of our financial state. As in...we don't have enough of the financials. I mean we are getting by (which I guess is really the most important thing), but it's literally month to month and after food and bills we have really nothing left. Granted WoW is something that could be given up, but really that wouldn't make a huge difference either.

I've been trying to look for things that I could maybe do at home to make a few extra bucks, and of course everything I've seen is obvious bs that has some outrageous sign up fee of no less than $50. No thank you. I know I'm not going to find work online, but sometimes it's nice to look. Like when you go to a store and can't help but try on that really sexy black dress even though you know you can't afford to buy. Well, sort of...

I also keep thinking that I should maybe try to get a second job during the day. It would definitely have to just be something part time cuz there's no way I could handle working 2 full time jobs. If only...I'm sure that would help out with Money Matters in a huuuuge way.

So yeah...we looked at our online bank account this morning and it was at about -$26. So yeah...I think that's what's got me all hot n bothered right now. The need for making better money than we are though has been something that's been on my mind for some time.

Of course probably the biggest issue is that I'm sure there'd be plenty (or some at least) jobs I could get where'd I'd feel better off financially, and no doubt they all require some sort of college degree. The problem there is even with how little we seem to make it still seems like we probably make too much for either Tom or I to qualify for a grant. And we CAN'T afford to actually pay for even one of us to go to college. Grr at me for not doing better in highschool and getting some sort of....oh snap...I can't even think of the term right now. It'll come to me later I'm sure but ya'll know what I'm talking about (I hope).

Course not much sense in worrying about all this too much right this second I guess. I have to be up in about 6 hours cuz we have to go to Grandma's tonight to take showers. Curse having a water heater that doesn't work (not that the water pressure was any good I guess). I really really kid you not when I say that Tom's Mom is crazy for wanting to live in a trailer for the rest of her life. I definitely want to live in a house one day. Sooner would be better, but before that I need to remedy the situation I've just posted on...
