Embarressing Yard...

Our yard has been seriously neglected these past few weeks. I've been to sick with morning sickness to mow. Greg is doing full time school and full time work. So our yard is terrible. When the kids go out to play, they come close to getting lost in our weeds! So in the middle of my absolutely terrible and hopeless work week, on the worst day of it too, I received a letter in my mail with no return address. It was hand written from a neighbor telling use our yard was terrible. Thank you neighbor, for making me even more depressed over my terrible yard I don't have time or energy for! Especially because in spring we dug out pretty garden boxes planted a garden and beautiful flowers, it looked great! I guess morning sickness takes life over right? Anyways, I'm a litttle upset this neighbor, whoever they are, didn't just come to my door and talk to me. Instead they send me a rude and threatening letter! The worst part about the whole thing is that our street is full of houses with terrible yards-we live in a college town. I wouldn't have picked our yard to be the worst. It doesn't help though that we are directly located by all of the, only 4, houses that actually keep there yards up. Everyone else west of us on the street is a joke when it comes to yard work. Blah. Now we need to find time for yet another chore!

Soccer

We signed Kenzie up for soccer this year....yes she is young for this. They really just practice drills. It's cute to watch. She loves it! It's so fun watching her develop her skills and watching Kayla try everything her big sister is doing.

My new job.....

I wish the weekend would never end! I love weekends. So I started a new job. My husband's company cut everyone's income by 8% and the company I've been running is struggling in this economy. So we find ourselves much tighter on money than we've been in a while....so I searched online forever and was able to find an at home job. Which is why I've disappeared the last several weeks. So here my new job:

At home job answering customer service calls. They sent me a computer to use. They pay me hourly. I'm supposed to pick my own hours which is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought.... The 1st two weeks was training full time hours....I didn't get to pick those hours. So everyday I got friends and family to babysit....thanks everyone! I really missed being with my kids during those long hours! So after 2 weeks we started on the phone...which was simply put...pure crap. We have had 3 weeks on the phone....during which is still training so again, not my own schedule. But at least it's part time now which is what I wanted. Now that training is done on Monday, they want me and several others to stay in training 1 more week. I have no more babysitters available this week. What am I supposed to do? Blah.

To tell you the truth I kinda hate this job. We have to show 40 hours of availability to work in a week and they schedule us for 25 of those hours. I'm having a hard time coming up with 40 of availability!!!! I don't have that much time-if I did, wouldn't I want to work full time or something? At 1st they gave me a split schedule so I was working 2x a day...no way....I can't do that...I don't have the time for that...

Simply put...I don't know what to do...I feel like this should be a good opportunity for me and my family. I feel like it was the right thing to do. But I'm not surviving having a nervous break down everyday! Now I'm stuck and can't make any decisions....Blah! Man this is terrible.
