Still Waiting, Still Packing

Today I worked. The End.

Well, that was the end for me. Everyone else did stuff. Carolynn is STILL doing homework. Catherine is still cleaning her room. Actually, right now she is spaced out in front of the TV eating cherries. If her room isn’t cleaned up by Friday, she is going to miss out on Indiana Jones and of course she will be missing my new Wii Fit Board. Maybe tomorrow when she sees it, she will tidy up.

Trisha got herself a job. A really cool paid internship. Now all I have to do is get me a job and we will both be cool. I sent her some congrats flowers. She liked them. I wonder what they looked like. I ordered them over the phone.

Well, that is all for today. Tomorrow we have our Wordless Wednesday. Be sure to come back and check it out.

Doll Blankets A-Plenty

This weekend Carolynn and I decided to give knitting a go. It is pretty easy. Carolynn is having trouble. She just wants to click her needles and poof! A sweater. We are practicing. It keeps me busy. I feel like I have nothing to do now that school is out.

I have been working a lot too. I have been logging in some over time. We are clearancing out a bunch of stuff. Not much fun going in early or staying late, but I could use the money. I applied for seven more jobs today.

Only two more days until David brings my new Wii Fit. Seriously, video games and exercise, what is not fun about that? It has yoga and some other stuff. Too bad the girls will not be playing until they start being good. Carolynn is still finishing all that homework. Catherine has been cleaning her room for the last decade.

This weekend I think we are seeing the new Indiana Jones film. Moreover, I get a three-day weekend! More time for packing.

My mom had a little drama on her blog this weekend. She has a "Drama Free Zone", can't anyone read that? I don't want any drama here either.

Blog Of The Week # 6

This week’s Blog Of The Week I found last November while doing NaBloPoMo. The blog is called Sarcastic Mom and is written by… you guessed it… Sarcastic Mom aka Lotus. She has been doing this blog since September of 2007. She was doing some blogging before that too, but I only read this one.

I like it because, first, she is a mom. I happen to enjoy reading mommy blogs that are interesting. I have kids too and frankly, I feel better knowing other kids are out there doing the same junk mine are or did. Sarcastic Mom has a toddler, he has done some stuff I remember Carolynn or Catherine doing, and I laugh. Her blog is very funny, very raw, and very personal. That is why I like it. She has her own weekly meme called Weekly Winners where people post their best pictures from the week every Sunday. They have to be pictures they actually took that week. I think that is neat. I take many pictures too, but on Sundays, I do this. My blogging buddy, reading buddy, and former Blog Of The Week, Eve, does Weekly Winners.

At Sarcastic Mom, comments are plentiful, but frankly, I have been a bit of a lurker on this one. I admit it. I read it though my Google Reader. I very rarely have left comments. We are friends through NaBloPoMo, but that is the extent of that. It is still a really good blog. That is why it is this weeks Blog Of The Week. So check it out…

Stay Tuned...

Lots of stuff has happened since Tuesday…

First, my online friend Eve/Carla from Readers Anonymous and from Adams Wife’s Weblog, lost her husband on Wednesday. My sympathy goes out to her and her family.

I hope everyone enjoyed my Wordless Wednesday and my Thursday Thirteen this week. I think next week I really will do Thirteen Things I Have Seen In Nevada.

Carolynn’s teacher got back to me on Carolynn’s F’s in Math and Science. Surprise! Carolynn hasn’t been doing her homework! I was not shocked, but I was mad. Therefore, Carolynn is super grounded. Not only did she not do her homework, she lied about it. I will be getting my new Wii Fit Board all to myself.

Catherine has been being better, not great, but better.

I applied for 30 more jobs since I last updated. One of those jobs is in Victorville. I know, Victorville is no where near Austin. But I heard about the job there from my mom and decided to give it a go. The cost of living in the High Desert (where Victorville is in California) is comparable to Austin. This job would pay more than I make now and allow us to live comfortable. The point of our move was to live comfortable. If we could stay here and live better it would be a lot cheaper to move. Of course, there are so few jobs there if I didn’t get this job, there are no others to apply for so off to Austin we go. And if I want to move to Texas later, I will have more time to save. But what are the chances of my getting the one job I applied for in Victorville over the 100’s of jobs I applied for in Austin? Who knows? Stay tuned…
