New Job and a Shopping Trip

Well so far so good? Things are going as well as can be expected. Pay day finally arrived, which means hypothetically we can pay our bills. Now I just need the time to sit down and take care of them. Oops. As for work things seem to be going okay. They defiantly could be going better. I am still trying to figure out the in's and out's of this job, while my employees are trying to get used to me and my randomness.

Last week was pretty humdrum. For the most part I worked and tried to get used to actually accomplishing my new job and 'fixing' the many problems I stumbled across. In the end I was basically told it is my job to be in every place at once. While I expected this to an extent or even hypothetically, I was told it in reality, as some of the said problems are getting pretty bad. Oh well, what can a girl do? Her best I suppose.

So here I sit, after an exhausting week of running around. Watching the hubby read his homework. This class is not very fun. All he does is read and randomly run his fingers over which ever portion of my body is closest to him at the time. Math is my favorite one to watch as he talks to himself and becomes very animated as he studies.

The only problem with this new schedule is that some days I have a lot of time on my hands waiting for him to come home. I can tell you one thing, my house has not been this clean in a long while. By the end of last week I was going crazy. This week has somehow flown by without a chance to get bored, with the exception of tonight. Tonight I got off work came home checked my usual websites, paid the bills, and took a short 5-10 min nap. After that was all said and done I started to run errands. The purpose of these errands was to not spend a lot of money but to grab paper for work and some dinner. Well things did not go quite according to plan.

• Gandolfos: Ordered my dinner. Forgot to tell man that I did not want ham...Oh well, guess I get to pick that off. Oh and they have no Coke products! So I went thirsty.
• Honks: First time for me in this particular dollar store. They have a decent assortment but not what I was looking for. I left with a mouse pad, and two other MUST have items.
• DI: Found a beautiful hand made baby dress...? Guess I had to have that one. Picked up part of David's Halloween costume. He is going to be Mario, all cause he can grow the 'stache.'
• Dollar store #2. This store should not be called a dollar store. Yeah things cost a dollar...or fifteen? Didn't buy anything they had no paper and while their towels were nice I refused to buy unless I found something I really needed. How is that for will power?
• Dollar store #3. Hit the mother load. Here I bought lots of paper for work. Check. The shopping trip is now a success. Found the one thing we were looking for, oh wait whats that over there?! Reward with Coke. Check. Buy dollar store pregnancy tests. Check. Buy new toenail polish, red of course. Oh a first aid kit for the car, think I will. Gallons of water? Food storage might be nice. All in all spent more than planning at this particular store.
• Smiths: While leaving to head home I received a call saying I needed to buy some mason jars. As I just so happened to be next to Smiths I made the detour. One 12 pack of bottles and a BLOND wig later I am on my way home.

Ahhh. So as we can see from the list above I had a successful trip. I found my paper and all is well in the world. If only all shopping trips could go so well, and maybe next time a little easier on the checkbook?
