Day At Home YAY!

Dear Diary,

MORNING! IM HOME TODAY! WAHOOOOO!

Well today I took my one vacation day and then we have tomm off paid. We also get next friday off paid.

I should have asked for more, but I didnt, need to use some vacation time in a chunk sometime soon since I havent really ever for myself(other then 2 days in a row in 4 yrs) Ive used 3 days or so of vacation pay or days off or stuff like that due to sick kids, stuff like that.

Computer guy is gone all next week, and then a few weeks first of Jan. Office manager had a week off beginning of Dec and another this upcoming week.

So I am almost done Christmas shopping, need to find a gift for MOM today. I got B a pair of cargo pants and a thermal type long sleeve shirt. He needs some new clothes, casual ones that is, he has nice work pants and shirts, but not much for home.

He also told me he wants “The Ultimate Chopper” LOL he said “Yeah sounds lame I know, but I want one”

So I checked ebay yesterday, they werent a whole lot cheaper and the shipping people charged was like $17-$20!

I went to the mall last night at 7:30pm, walked into the “As Seen on TV” store, and they had 2! And they were cut $10! YAY! So it was $39. So I was happy to get it.

I got my brother a civil war calendar for his bday.

His Bday is Dec 22.

I was exhausted when I got in last night after 9pm, I went to 4 stores, no luck on finding something for Mom, I had a 20% off coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond but nothing peaked my interest for her.

So the hunt continues.

I bought this book at Costco the other day. Its on your Skin Health, and its to help with Acne. And its basically goes over this method from this Dr, And he goes over foods, supplements, etc.

So he has this 3 day diet he first says to dry, and then the other is a 28 day program. But he tells people to try the 3 day one to see that this can work as you see results already.

So I read through the diet, and I can do it! Its not super hard. But said to not start it during a holiday where you will cheat LOL> True. Im anxious to do it though, so perhaps Ill do the 3 day starting Monday.

You need stuff like, Salmon, dark green veggines(lettuces, broccoli, etc) Slivered almonds, cantalope, yogurt, lentils, oatmeal(not instant) green tea, so many cups of water. Its broken down into 3 meals and 2 snacks. So you arent limited all day. So I will see how this works and report the results!

The stuff to avoid is so my diet :(. Dairy, most cheeses, starch, sugars, pasta,soda, coffee, and BANANAS, haha didnt think bananas would be out.

After I read the diet change, and how my skin has been lately, Im so on the end of foods he says are culprits and he went over all the studies where they say foods do not cause acne and he goes over the study they used to make those statements and how its flawed, etc etc, anyways, like I said, Ill see what happens and report back. Besides I could eat better anyways, so it wont hurt me any.

So I found this thing where I can be put in a directory to sell for others online, i signed up and put all my info, worth a shot right? Its free advertising and will see if I even get any bites as a result. Im still reading up on others and how much of a commission to charge etc, and need to print out a contract as others have put sample ones up for you to use for your customers.

If I can start building my own business, which in some regards I already have, but to make it so I can be my own boss, then cool!

My pay sucks these days, and the private school is hurting me, The $200 a month Im paying. Its gonna have to go, its hard to keep up with, so will see what happens come end of Jan. As the one track was full that youngest used to be in, the other one that has an opening is off all of Jan. So I want my youngest in school all through Jan so gotta pay another month. And whatever childcare after school is used. He hasnt gone too much to that as Ive rushed over many days or had mom get him a day or two.

I sold 3 more items yesterday eve! YAY!

And everything finally ended last night. So will need to gear up for my next round of sales first of the new year(unless they offer a free or discount listing day in the meantime)

My girlfriend, the OCD one called Sunday from Florida. Her husband is military and gone until April. So she said her Dad was flying out from here, she begged him to come stay(He hasnt gone out in years cause his last visit she blew up at him)

Yeah shes like heavy duty OCD. She got mad at her Dad cause his luggage smelled like smoke, made him keep it in the garage, and then got mad cause he smoked outside the front door and not at the correct spot down the driveway, and then he said to her daughter when she hit her baby brother “You outta be ashamed of yourself” and my girlfriend went nuts.

Yep thats her! So I asked her how she was, she said shes been having migranes, the other day her neighbor took her kids and her husband and all, they fed her and had her take it easy. I was talking to her about migranes, asking her if shes been having them alot, She said “I know what it is, its the holidays, I like things to be a certain way, clean, organized, and to put everything together organized and Im running myself ragged, so thats why” Yep OCD in full force making herself sick. 🙁 She told me that her husband may be stationed in Germany so she may be moving this year. WOWIE! Part of me thinks How Exciting!

But I guess it could be kinda scary, a new country, 3 small kids, and a husband whos not even home more then half the year.

Or maybe it will change with him in Germany and he will be home more? Dont know.

I also got a card from one of my highschool,etc best friends, She had her 3rd child December 8th. She now has 3 boys under the age of 6!

I havent spoken to her at ALL this past year really. Last time she was so short and vague in her email. I dont think shes happy, but who knows. Last time she wasnt, she actually got pregnant right after the second child was born and miscarried, so it appears she got pregnant once again not after. She was not sounding happy then to have another child so soon. And I have no clue what her husband is doing as hes Mr cant seem to stay put with a job. Last she said they were opening another store. EEKS! Cant even imagine at this point, wonder if they are doing that?

So what am I gonna do today? I dont know! LOL Clean house Im sure, go to the post office and store, who knows what else. I need to wrap presents too.

Later all!
