Okay, so it's been a while since my last post. Although the title is "taking care of money", I definitely haven't been doing it! My entire summer was spent trying to prove to myself, husband and anyone else that I am wonder woman. I think we all do that sometimes. Take on all of these things, and then when we don't get the appreciation we think we deserve, we get upset. Won't we ever learn?....
Well let's update. I no longer work the night retail position. Get this, my husband asked me to quit, because he says the home was being neglected! Yeah exactly, that's what I said. Well even he realized this comment came off as chauvinistic, and he switched it up. He claims that I looked sooo tired from working sooo much, that I should just give it up. Well, I wanted to keep my employee discount (loved that discount) so I told him I would think about it. Had no intention on quitting, but would you believe the next week, they told me that the night crew was no longer needed?! I lost my little job, just like that. Oh well, I was kinda tired. I also stopped the babysitting as my husbands job location changed. He's home later, and later so his pickup is so irregular that I can't plan anything through the week. This is rather disappointing, and makes me feel so trapped. I would love to get a seasonal job in the evening just to see people, but I don't have anyone to watch the kids. Hiring a babysitter would cost more than I actually would make in retail, plus we only have one vehicle. Guess I'm stuck. I'm trying to remain optimistic though, I figure if I continue my schooling, then in a few years I will have a career.
I am also trying to pay more attention to me. Taking better care of my hair, skin and nails. I used to be so good at that stuff, from the clothes to the shoes, to the purses. Now, I feel like that frazzled lady at the mall. I'm just somebodies mama. Did a ponytail rollerset last night, and gave myself a facial. I still have to flat-iron my roots, and next time I won't use as much setting foam. I'm going to polish my nails tonight. I also want to try on a lot of things in my closet, and make an attempt to tailor what I can, and give away the rest. I'm tired of holding on to old stuff I can fit. I want to look sexy and cute again, and get those second glances from men when I walk down the street. Now if a man takes a second look, I figure their admiring the kids, not me! Marriage makes you forget that your desirable.
I also want to start working out, if I can get my lazy butt to the gym. I guess I just have to do it, and that would be nice break from the kids. I'm going tonight, no matter what!
