This week started like last week. However, in order to overcome it, I am thinking positive. I am fabulous; therefore, I will get a great job. Today I applied for 24 jobs in Austin.
I do not have any idea what to do about Catherine so I am taking all her stuff. We needed to pack it up anyway. Today I came home to find out she had been filling Ziploc bags with water and launching them off the porch at neighboring hoodlums. She is grounded until we move. I am packing up her stuff. She gets no Wii time, no TV time, no computer time, and no treats until she starts being good on a daily basis. She is quite pissed off. We are getting the new Wii Fit board next week, we recently got Mario Kart Wii, and I saw a cool new bowling game at the store. (We probably would not have gotten it though because of moving anyway.) On top of all that, I am on her like white on rice…
Carolynn is spending some time on the grounded list too. She got a progress report with two F’s, one in math and one in science. I have not talked to her teacher yet. She insists that she is doing her homework, but I happen to know from previous experience, that if you are doing your homework you will not fail. Therefore, we will see tomorrow when I speak with her teacher. In addition, Carolynn has been failing at her chores too. She only has one chore and she never wants to do it. It is always a struggle. She is currently rocking the no DS, no Wii, and no Webkinz tri-fecta.
I guess David’s family is looking forward to him moving. I was so worried about my move; I almost forgot David’s family lives in Texas. They do not live in Austin, but they will certainly live a lot closer than now. David can go visit and the girls and I can have the house to ourselves to girl it up. I am sure when the girls and I are gone David walks around in his boxer shorts eating cold pizza or something.
My savings account is a bit fatter thanks to the government money. Not as fat as I’d like to see it, but it’s getting better. Moving is such a pain in the butt.
Mondays suck, but hey, I am still fabulous.
Mondays are pretty sucky, today was my Monday off and I worked. That can not be good. Well I am sure you will find a job in Austin. I do not know what the housing is like in Austin but it is a good time to buy a house here.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that the girls are feeling some anxiety about moving. They have moved a few times, that is they was of Military families. Carolynn worries about friends and fitting in. They will be fine
I am sure things will settle down once we get there. The kids will adjust and life will be good. First I will find the job, then I will worry about buying a house.
ReplyDeleteI had a sucky Monday too. From what I read in the Blogoshere yesterday, it was a theme.
ReplyDeleteA good job will turn up, I have no doubt.
And you have to admit, the Ziploc launching is funny. If I could get away with doing that, I would attack the hoodlums in my neighborhood too. I tried to run them over with my car the other day, but that's a whole post in itself. ;)
Well, I guess it was funny, but she still shouldn't have done it. After the hell I raised about the rent, I don't need more trouble. I am sure that lady is watching us with eagle eyes now. I made her not only clean up the broken Ziploc bags outside, I made her go around the neighborhood and pick up all the trash in the building. David followed her around to make sure she did it too. (I was making dinner).
ReplyDeleteI am up to 12 more jobs applied for today...
