UPDATE- from previous post

Well, I didn't like the job. They only wanted me to work 3hrs and for me it's not worth it. So back to the drawing board. Hope something comes up soon. I'm ready to work!

And life gets interesting....

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I will start my trial day to see if I like the new job. If I do, training will come soon and then I'll get started. Not only are the hours perfect, but the pay is better than I asked for.

So excited for the future. Off to bed...check back tomorrow for an update!

Keeps getting better!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Well, today I got 2 phone calls. BOTH good news, but after googling one of them I decided NO WAY!

But the 2nd one was AWESOME! I am 99.9% I have a job! Yep that's right, I finally got a job. It's working for a store on base (both bases) promoting and selling basically Industrial products for this company. I met with the guy today and he thinks I will be a great fit. Only thing we are waiting on? If I want the job. He's setting me up with a "trial" (I'll go in at the time I'll be working, and hang out with the guy for an hour and see if it's something I'm interested in...) I'll be doing this next week.
Then around the 2nd week of August I'll be starting my training. WOOT!

Hours are M-F 6:30am-10:30am only 20 hours per week, but I can ALWAYS find something for the evening. PLUS I have school too so this will give me plenty of time to do that, PLUS my volunteer work with Operation Home Front. I'll have weekends off as well!

After being asked how much I'd like to make...I said no less than $9.00 and hour....and they seemed OK with it!!!!!

WOOT! So excited.

So before the interview Andrew told me if I got a job today, he'd treat me to dinner. Sooooooo...I asked the guy what my "employment status" was and about the dinner and he told me to hold my husband to the dinner. Meaning....I GOT THE JOB!

After the trial run we'll know more, but I got it! WOOT!

Setbacks and Awesome News!

So the other day I posted about having a job interview. As professional as I was, the person who contacted me about the job was highly rude and unprofessional. La jolla Maids will never get my excellent housekeeping qualities with that attitude, so I didn't go to the interview. So in that sense back to square one.

School issues were a bust, went to the Community College and they wanted me to take some pointless classes just to get an A.A. degree and transfer to a state college I'd never be able to attend. So with that news, I decided to enroll back in Ashford University. The F.A. department is getting better, and if I can take 8 more classes with them and not die of heart failure or high blood pressure, then I'll have my B.A. degree by this time next year.

Those were the setbacks.

Now for the Awesome news!

I have decided that until I can find a paying job, I will be volunteering with Operation Home Front. I'd love to help those who are needing assistance, and what better way than to help those who aren't getting the support they deserve? OK, that was a tad harsh, but my first task will be helping to fill 2800 backpacks for military kids who are attending school this fall. I cannot wait to get started!

Motto for today: just because shit falls on your shoulders from an invisible bird, doesn't mean something good can't happen in the same day...

Master Plan....

Life has been royally sucking lately. I feel disconnected with everything. This wouldn't be THAT big of a deal, except....I have a child. It's NOT cool to be this disconnected. So I've dug up some motivation, and tomorrow I put my Master Plan into action!

After taking the baby to daycare and her daddy to work, I plan to come home and put on my running clothes. The good news about moving here is we live in the mountain of a hill. Easy-Peasy coming down...hard as hell coming up...the plan? Walking quickly downhill, then running to the trolly crossing and back, then walking quickly up the hill. Yes, I'd say that will be an excellent morning work out!

Breakfast- scrambled eggs and toast with milk

Shower and then clean up.

Put together a resume and apply to jobs.

Then....interview time! I hope I get it because it'll just be good for me. Not my ideal job, but it's a start. Here's to hoping.

Then it's a trip to the community college to discuss my future and talk to a counselor as to where I should go.

Coming home and repeating the run from that morning...

Applying to more jobs and MAYBE a nap (if I have time) and then go pick up the hubby and baby girl about 4 or 4:30pm.

I feel like with Keira now in daycare that my life is more on hold than it was when she was home with me. I miss her, and without a job, it gets boring here. What happens when people get bored? They sleep!!!! Not cool!

Let's Begin....

I've tried one or two...or maybe 4 of these blogs before. However, they have never worked out. So, with new dedication, simple motivation, I plan to start again. What is this blog for? Well for everything! May it make you laugh, cry, dance, sing, or even piss you off.

Disclaimer: I type how I think, and sometimes I think with naughty words. One word you will NEVER find me saying...thinking...or typing? The GD word. I hate it. I can't stand it. And I even feel guilty when I read it. So you won't see that here. I also don't use vulgar words to describe women's body parts...so no worries there. Everything else? Fair game :)

Introducing me: My name is Sarah. I'm a wife, mother, and many other things. I've been blessed, beaten up (not by my husband...), judged, loved, hated and everything else. I'm happy though. After some life changes, career changes, etc...I plan to be even happier.

Now I just reread the above and realize that it sounds like I'm going through a sex change. Don't be stupid. I'm happy being a woman....and 100% real woman....just to be clear.

Sit back, check in, and see ya back here soon....maybe. I'll be here! You can come in you want. :D
