What is wrong with me?

Why is it that sometimes something so silly, so worthless, so unimportant can eat at you and drive you crazy. I had an incident at the local Walmart-really no big deal- but the woman who worked there annoyed me so much that I can't stop thinking about it. I think it was her first gesture to me, she didn't speak a work, just a motion for me to hand her something. This one little motion, this annoying hand gesture, this smart ass look on her face has me still irked 4 1/2 hrs later. Now here it is midnight and I am tired...but I am afraid if I go to bed now I will just think about that woman and her damn gesture.

Seriously, what is wrong with me??

Just cause.......................

I am running about cleaning up the house, making things shine & sparkle...I just had to share

I Love Love Love MY HOOVER FLOORMATE

Fingers Crossed

Today we have 2 showings. We had one scheduled for 6:30-7:00 & now we have another for 5:00pm. I sure hope we get a bite. I wanna move to my house with a yard. I am tired of cleaning up my house like a crazy person every time someone is coming. Making sure that everything is squeaky clean and shiny. I am tired of chasing my cats around the house trying to get them into the cat carrier and then finding some random place to waste some time. Tonight I will have to be gone from 4:45pm til about 7:15-7:30pm....Too much time. I would go to the mall, but I won't leave my kitties here, I don't trust that the Realtors won't let them outside. UGH, keep your fingers crossed and wish us luck-I sure hope someone tonight will love our home. Heck, they can just like it, enough to BUY IT!!!!

Summer is here....

Well today was Emily's FIRST last day of school. Summer has officially started for us. I can't believe how much she has changed, grown up and learned over the past 9months. I am so glad I sent her early, she truly enjoyed it. As I enjoyed meeting some new people, some great Teachers and wonderful Moms that have become good friends. I look forward to September after some fun this summer with Emily.

Emily's first day of preschool. Proudly wearing her big girl back pack and showing off her first homework project, a picture of a Dinosaur.

And here she is 9 months later, so grown up. I can't believe the difference in her. I love her so much!!

We started a tradition, on her first day of school we had ice cream after school at Gooseboro (a restaurant where hubby spends his Sundays during the summer months) and today we had lunch at the 'Goose' after school. It was nice, our friends own the restaurant so it was nice for them to see Emily too and chat a bit. A nice day overall. Hubby had day off to boot-woo hoo!!!

On a Happier Note....

So I had to get Emily's hair cut professionally, Monday. Her hair is so thick. I couldn't get it even. But here it is...the end of her haircut fiasco...... It's a cute little bob, with a little clip it looks so cute. Will be good for summer!!

Banks Suck & Target is stupid

I hate banks! Since I am a SAHM we have little funds to work with to get our bills paid etc. That is a sacrifice we chose to make. Scrimping and saving and looking for bargains. My poor dear hubby works 7days a week ,we only see him M,T,W nights and Sat mornings. he cooks at 2 friends restaurants on the weekends to try and make ends meet, thank god for them. He is tired, I miss him and now Emily is old enough to realize he isn't around and misses him dearly. We try so hard to work with what little funds we have. He just started his summer cooking job and we felt a little relief with our funds....extra money it felt good. Then today I went to check our account, balance everything and we were in the red-UGH. My hubby made 2 separate CASH deposits over the weekend and they held them as one and charged us over fees for some purchases. I called them and was like what the heck, how can you hold cash. It irritates me so!! Banks and their overdraft fees, did you know that is how they make most of their money. Then feeling so bad for my husband, I decided to apply to Target for some extra cash- I have much retail experience- I applied last Monday and spoke to someone and they said they will call me for an interview. Well 9days later and after the bank fiasco I called to check on the status. First I called and was on hold for 10+mins and decided to hang up and call back. Finally I get someone and she put the phone down and checked with someone and came back to the phone and said "we'll keep your app on file and call you if we need you", I was silent and then said "thank you". I was furious, I have many yrs experience in retail, among other talents. After all that happened this morning I lost it. Target is blowing me off. I am so angry, it was so hard for me to go there and apply for a job in the first place. To be away from my Em, to not start a new job that will last .... a sacrifice I had to make and they say they'll call me. Whatever Target, Whatever Webster- you both suck!!

'photo shoot'

Here are a few photos from our 'photo shoot', you can see her right side it a bit layered from her cut. I think these pics are so funny, because she rarely sits for a good pic anymore. And I have to say, when decorating her room while I was pregnant, I never knew that the pink I picked for her walls would make such a good backround for photos. Some of the best pics I have are in her room.

She looks so grown up in these pics, so sad to see my baby is growing up. She's a little girl now :(
