Well today is my Sunday. so its back to work tomorrow. Which is ok cause I enjoy it but I enjoy being home more. What have I done these passed couple of days??? not a whole lot. Laundry and shopping pretty much covers it. So did everyone enjoy getting naked at Wils???? I dont know about all of you but I found it a bit chilly?? J/K.  I am actually not a huge fan of the Barenaked Ladies myself. I wont change the station if they come on but I dont hope to hear them come on either.

On to other stuff, does anyone have a solution for kids who dont listen??? I am fresh out of ideas. My 4 year old is really testing the limits and it is driving me crazy. I think that he needs a hearing test cause he sure dont listen to us lately!! My daughter went through the same thing and we went through fight after fight for about 6 months!! She still can get pretty viciouse(spelt wrong I know) when she gets mad but it isnt very often that she has a fit anymore. thank god!!!!  I wish I didnt have to work so I could be with them full time so I could really try to correct the issue but we need at least one income comming in if we plan to leave.(which I do) well I think i will give the puter to the crazy kids and have myself a smoke before the baby wakes up. so all of you have a great night and I am open to suggestions for my crazy son!!!

have a good one

 Well hello to all readers. What a day!! Lots of stress added to my life today and lots taken away as well. Took the final exam for work and passed YAY But now I am freaking out about taking live calls tomorrow. I know it will probably be fine but I am scared anyway. There are alot of large companies that havve cell plans with us that I can mess up at the toutch of a button So that is a little unnerving. but the final is over with and that makes me sooooooooooooooooooo relieved. At least I now know that I deffinately have a job to go to everyday.I guess I will tell you a bit about what I am doing: I work at a large company that answers calls for at&t and Cingulars wireless costomers and not just any costomers the buisness costomers. The training I just went through was  5 week extensive training on systems and cell phones so it was crazy and stressfull, but I am now a cirtified rep able to handle anything  at least that is what they keep telling us?? To get passed the training we had to pass 6 tests and get 80% and over to do that. we started with 32 people and ended today with 16 people. So you can see by the numbers that it is not a simple thing to do. But we have done it.

I will stop blabbing on about my job now and paste what i found for stress relieving on here so you can all read and have a little laugh

so enjoy and talk to you all later.

So what can I talk about today?????? Well I have a huge stack of papers to fill out for medical and dental, YAY!!!!!!! I am so happy that all my kids will be covered, I wasnt as a kid and now I have a zillion things to get done in my mouth. actually I believe it is just my wisdoms and 1 cavity so that is pretty cool. Gotta get it done or I will look like horsey up there that would suck.

The first thing I did when I saw the skull in the woods was call the police, then while I was waiting I got to wondering: Who was this person?where did he come from? what did he do?and why did he have deer antlers?......

I came across this at work the other day and thought it was kinda neat so I am sharing it with all of you. So today I did almost nothing, all of my kids are sick and now I am starting to get it as well My mom is also staring to feel it. I taught my kids how to share and they share well This is not a great time to get sick but what can you do?

I have also come to realize that I have no life! last week we had a few people over and everyone was sitting outside infront of the firepit havin a great time drinking a few beer and laughing it all up, oh ya but not me.I was to buisy SLEEPING I have made my way to bed every night before 930, last night it was 830, I am such a geek.

But hey the next day I was all chipper and feeling great and everyone else was so that made me feel good. oh my good god I just realized that I am rambling on about nothing so I think I will go and put all you readers out of your missory.

have a great night everyone

Well how is that for funny?!! kinda dumb but i thought it was great. I worked today again. I think I am beginning to really get it now and I like it so that is a bonus. My daughter had skipping practice today.she is getting really good at all the tricks.so I have been really slacking on the journal stuff so from now on I am going to try to post daily and make my rounds at least every other day. So all you out there dont give up on me please. What else has happened???????my mom finally had a few extra days off way to go mom!!!!!! Sandy I hope you came out ok. crazy crazy buisy lady. If you read this tell everyone i say hi (by everyone i mean ) I miss you all!!!

I have realized I need to get my licence!!! I figured it out and I am spending 200.00 a month on taxis that is enough for a damn car payment!! so i will have to look into that. it would help for my kids to. and my wonderfull mom.

and on that note my baby just woke up so i will blab again tomorrow.

Well all I have finally gotten the chance to sit and write  so here it goes

as you all know I have recently gotten a new job and it is very stressfull right now. I have to really pay attention in the training and if you know me then you know that that is very hard for me due to my disability. and if I dont pass the tests then I am fired. So far I have seen 6 people let go and it scares me I have 3 kids I am supporting and I have to work to do so. so in my extra time I am a book worm. studdy hard and I figure I cant lose.but anyway I am tired of complaining. I am still getting a paycheck every 2 weeks so what the hell right. right!!! now onto other things my daughter turned 7 on wednesday. my god does time ever fly. We are having her party tomorrow it will be good fun I am sure. oh I hear the call of my 9 month old son so I guess my time here is up

have a great weekend everyone

amanda

     Hello everyone, what a week!!!!!!! I have been so buisy As you all know I have started a new job and it is from 7-2:30 which is great and I am beginning to really enjoy it but the stress that comes along with it is crazy. after I get off I am spending all my spare time with my kids and when they go to bed it is studdying from then until my bedtime(which has become a very sad 9:30) so I appologise for not posting or visiting anyone you see I have tests that i have to pass or I am out of a job??!! and with all of the info that they throw at us each day I need all the time i can get to wrap my head around it. This next week is going to be nuts because we are learning about the computer systems (which are very confusing) but all in all it has been ok I have passed 2 of the 6 tests and I only got 4 more to go before I can take a breath.

    But on the bright side of things it is my daughters 7th birthday on wednesday!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe how fast it goes! I wish I could go back in time and have her for a baby again, just once but all I have left of that time is pictures She is such a great kid. she keeps me sane. if it wasnt for her help and caring nature her brothers would drive me insane Im sure!!!!! I hope that she knows how special she really is. My boys are doing good, they are growing so fast!! my baby is almost 9 months now and my other boy turned 4 in december. I cant believe how different boys are to girls?? my daughter is so into learning and school, whil my son thinks it is much more fun to bang nails int a block of wood. but hey maybe one day that boy of mine will be a famouse builder? never know hey. any way i have been rambling one here for a while I guess it is time to get back to that thing called real life .

have a great weekend everyone

hey everyone, it has been a while since i have been in journal land. I have been buisy lately. I have started my new job  i am still iffie on what i think of it. I have to say it is the first job that I get paid to sit on my  actually it is very mind and brain stimulating. Some times the instructor is giving you info so fast that you really get overwhelmed. but all in all its ok.The great part is after 1 full year I get 4.5 weeks off paid vacation. that is pretty cool I think.

happy  day everyone

thank you Sandy for stopping by

anyway I had better get back to studdying and notes have a good evening everone
