Finally! Excess verbiage!
I spent most of last night looking through online job ads. Depressing, but necessary. I thought about working as a temp for a month or two just to get back in the swing of working a “real” job after staying home with the kids for 3 years. I can (or could) make fairly decent money….I just wanted to be with the kids. Oh well, suck it up and press on, girlie.
My main time suck lately has been a message board. MamaDrama, to be specific. A brief moment of upheaval has landed them in my backyard for the time being, and I’m now the Chief Implementer of All Things Necessary. It’s been nice having a challenge other than Mommyduty.
My favorite thrift shop relocated, and I just found it this past weekend. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find work clothes there. I went through the stuff in storage, sorted out what was AWFULly dated and what I could work with…and nothing fits anymore. It’s all too tight here or hangs odd there. Auntie has a friend who wears my size, but she’s a short little thing, and has a different figure. Mom rolls her eyes and says “Free clothes!” but y’know, if it looks like crap, what’s the point? If it’s supposed to be a sweater minidress, and it looks like a belly shirt on me….*shudders* nevermind. You don’t really need that mental pic, do you?
We sorted through the toybox yesterday and cut the collection in half. I’ll wait another week, and then we’ll cut again before Christmas. There’s no sense in hanging on to toys that aren’t played with, and the boys had so much junk I think it was too much trouble to get things out. *thinks* Y’know, maybe I’ll wait until after the grand gifting occurs. My folks always go overboard.
After being here for two years, I finally looked at Mom and said “Y’know, I’m going to re-cover the furniture. Do you want input, or do you just want to stand back and say I told you so?” and she laughed at me. I don’t think she took me seriously. When the recliners are covered with denim and the sofas are green and blue, she’ll figure it out.
And I do believe that’s all the news that’s fit to print right now.
