So if you read my last post you know that yesterday was a day of marathon babysitting for me. I got in at around 12:00 and was not tired so my bff and I stayed up all night; well actually I ended up crashing for probably about two hours. We watched Hannibal till three AM , that is defiantly a good movie to watch if you want to stay up, lol. It reminded me how much I hate Jodie Foster. She didn’t like the way the book ended so she made them change it for the screenplay and then wasn’t in the movie, Julianne Moore took over the role of Agent Starling. She is a much better actress in my opinion and played the role much better then Foster, however I don’t see why they couldn’t go back to the original ending when Moore signed on. Anyway TTFN.

Today is going to be an excruciatingly long day. Here is what is going to happen: at 2:30 my bff and I are going to pick up 3 kids, two 1st graders and one 2nd grader from school. We’ll have all of them till around 4:00 or a bit after when one of the 1st graders will leave. Then we’ll have the other
two, brother and sister, till their mom gets home which can ranger anywhere from 4:30 till 6:30. Then if the mother is not home by say 4:45 one of us will have to go to another job at 5:00 where the other will eventually meet up. Those two kids are a four year old and a seven year old. We’ll watch them till their dad gets home at around 12, only to have to get up at 5:30 and be back at their house by 6 so he can go back to work. Tonight depending on when the dad gets home and how tired we are my bff and I might not be sleeping. I can’t complain too much though because it’s only my only source of income. Anyway TTFN.

I actually don’t mind the snow it’s the cold I hate. When it gets cold out my knee injury from high school acts up and I feel like an old lady. What is worse about the snow and cold is the fact that I have go for my hour walk in for the last two days so I really need to walk today. Walking is supposed to strengthen my knee but for a while now I’ve been trying to walk everyday and usually do walk at least 5 out of 7 days a week and my knee still acts up. I guess if I had actually done the physical therapy exercises I was supposed to when I first injured it I might not have as much pain as I do these days. Anyway I guess I should go out walking now before it gets darker out and even colder. Well TTFN.

Tonight will be another Friday night spent babysitting rather than going out. Not that I usually have anything to do but sometimes it is nice to go out for a change. Actually I can’t complain that much because btw the end of November and the beginning of December I went to three concerts in three weeks. Also the people I’m babysitting for tonight own a bar in the city so when I do go out we usually get free food and or drinks and if the boss is leaving at the same time as us he gives my bff and I a ride home. Actually I should be happy to be babysitting because I need to save up to pay for my Disney vacation, my bff laid the money out and I am paying her back gradually as of now I still owe her $780. At least she doesn’t mind me paying her back little by little. Anyway TTFN.

I got the Samsung Propel and I love it. Of course when I was out walking I dropped it twice and now it is slightly scratched. It’s only a little scratched though so it’s not too bad, and I am so clumsy so it was only a matter of time before I got it scratched anyway. I love it because it has a full keypad but it is not a Blackberry so for the unlimited media plan I just added it is only $15 a month rather than $30, which it is for the Blackberry. Anyway I am really happy with it and this phone I might actually keep for the two year plan rather than upgrading after a year and a half. So TTFN.

Another year has passed. Today I’m at home and my mother will be cooking dinner for everyone. Pretty much the same crew as Christmas will be come over except for my sister’s in-laws. Of course my nephew has Strep Throat so you know because I don’t have insurance I’ll end up getting it. I actually felt really bad for him because he spent part of the day in the ER he got dehydrated so they had him on an IV. Then when my brother-in-law came over with him he looked so miserable. He slept for most of the day, I felt so bad for him. I hope he is feeling better now. Anyway TTFN.

As you probably already know tonight is New Year’s Eve. As usual I am not doing anything interesting just babysitting. I can’t complain though when you don’t have a job it’s always better to make money rather than spend it. It’s not like there was anything I really wanted to so I’m happy to make the money. Also I do it with my bff so at least I have someone with me to watch all the New Year’s Eve shows. Also the kids are easy they usually just watch TV till bed time. Even the two year old, who usually screams when her parents leave, has gotten better. Now while she still cries sometimes she usually stops faster. Anyway TTFN and Happy New Year!

I am in serious need of a job. Until I looked at my bank balance I didn’t realize just how much working at Macy’s was helping me out. It is so frustrating having a college degree and not being able to find a job. I hate this economy and I hate feeling like I wasted four years of my life in college. If I knew I was going to have to end up working retail I would have started right out of high school. If I did that at least by now I might have moved up the retail chain, maybe to manager. Oh well for now I’ll keep considering selling my eggs for money, at least while it might be painful I’ll be making about $8,000. Oh well TTFN.

Tomorrow I have to get up at 5:30 AM as I usually do on Tuesdays. Also as usual I should be sleeping right now but I’m not tired. So I figured what better to do with my time then blog. I figured since I have to write for today anyway why not write about not wanting to get up. Except for the fact that I have to get up so early it’s an easy $20, actually $10 because I do it with my bff. It is also a little easier knowing that I am not the only one getting up so early. At least I didn’t have to do it today which is usual. Oh well TTFN, I guess I’ll go try and fall asleep.

Well today was an average Sunday we went shopping at Target. Since the flyer comes out on Sundays we usually end up going there. I didn’t get much but, I did get what I needed. I wanted to get three boxes of Multi-Grain Cheerios because they were on sale 3 for $8. I also got a new bra, because it was on sale and I don’t have very many comfortable bras. So if the brand I like goes on sale I usually get it. I was a bit annoyed because when I paid I realized it was only $1 off but then I figured that is still $1 less then I had to spend. In other news I’m excited I don’t have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow like I usually do on Mondays so yay! Anyway TTFN!
