I just wanted to let you know that I thank you for taking away my stress and PMS for the next hour or so. Then I will be cursing myself for eating you and trying to figure out when I can get to the gym to lose some weight and tone up my muscles that feel like jell-o. Then I will remember that my life is absolute chaos right now so I won't be able to get to the gym anytime soon and I will curse you some more.
Sincerely,
Stacy
I need a VACAY!
I am in desperate need of a trip of some sort. I love to travel and unfortunately, as of this moment in time, we have no money to travel. This makes me want to go insane.
The hubs and I had a little disagreement last night...he said something that really started making me think and think hard. We were talking about going out and having a good time. He ALWAYS is the one that gets to go out and I am stuck with the kids. Problem is, we are in a new place where I have one friend who I have known since high school. The hubs on the other hand has numerous. Of course, he says this is my fault, I should be making more friends and I asked him how I was supposed to do that when I am a stay at home mom and the lovely base we are at doesn't have an FRG that I am aware of nor does it hold many events. *Sigh* Anyways, that's not the part that made me think. He then said that I was content staying at home watching movies...
I have always thought the same but this is simply not true. I don't like staying home. I love to TRAVEL! I would love to go places and stay the weekend and explore and have fun. I don't do the bar scene anymore really...he's right there..not unless I'm with a lot of people in a non smoky environment (too much smoke makes me want to puke). Case and point..the hubs went out last night and had to strip before entering our room because he smelled so strongly of smoke from the bar they went to. I want to go all these places and just kick back and relax. I want my kids to be able to go and see the world and all of its beauty. There is one tiny problem. We just don't have the money right now.
So I'm making a vow to myself. I am going to, as soon as we can, put some money in a travel fund. I have to. For my sanity. So to my dear hubby, you were right...well, ok, not totally right but you had a valid point. I think my points were more so valid (that is a whole different post that shall be entitled "DOUBLE STANDARD WORLD" ) but you have a point. Just know that while I may seem content watching movies and hanging at the hizzy, I am, in fact, dreaming of where I will be traveling to first!

Someone Help A Sister OUT!
I need a job....sigh...I really need a job.
I know, I know...in this economy jobs are scarce. I understand that. But with each "thank you but we're pursuing other candidates," letter I receive, the more and more depressed I am getting.
I like to think of myself as an intelligent person. I also like to think of myself as someone that can learn things very easily. What stinks the most is that I'm not even getting a chance. Due to certain circumstances, I haven't been able to work in the past few years. I'm sorry, but I thought staying home with my daughter while her daddy was gone in a warzone was a little more important. And since I didn't need the job and was going to school, I felt that was the best decision for me and my family. Boy do I wish I would have gotten a job.
Everyone these days wants experience and I simply don't have that. Forget the fact that I can not only work a computer but can troubleshoot a lot of problems on my own, I can learn any computer program needed in a very short amount of time and I am a pretty darn personable person. People generally like me and find me easy to talk to. I remember in my restaurant days, everyone wanted to tell me everything. It was horrible because I knew everything about everyone and so I just kept my mouth shut most of the time (BTW I don't recommend working in the restaurant industry if you want to get hired elsewhere. It doesn't work too well).
I'm just tired of getting rejected from the jobs that I have applied for when I know I could do the job with my eyes closed and do it well. It's hard. I've been searching for almost 4 or 5 months now and nothing. To say that I'm frustrated doesn't even begin to describe how I am feeling.
