monday

It's 11:30 pm and I should be getting ready for bed, but I'm not tired. Imagine that!!

So I was driving through a little shopping center parking lot headed to the high school to pick up my daughter from cheerleading practice. As I drive through the lot I see this young boy who was about 10 years old.......a cute, chubby, freckled face boy sitting on a bench.....his bike parked near by........ crying.....face red, snotty nosed, crying. I thought someone had hurt him, or that maybe he'd wrecked his bike...... I pulled my car over to the curb and asked him if he was Ok....................when he said he was ok, I asked him why then was he crying. He said "before I left the house my mom told me that I'd better not spend my money on those White Castle hamburgers. But I did. I spent my whole ten dollars on White Castles. I ate them all! I think I'm going to be sick! I am going to be in trouble with my mom!"
He was so cute......... Cracked me up. .......................and I'm not sure, but I think you can buy like 20 White Castle hamburgers for 10 bucks........................ he had to be feeling pretty crappy. Poor little, non-listen to his mom kid.

Starting August 1 my hours at work will be cut by 16 hours/month.
I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's one day a pay period multiplied x2 for the month.......it adds up........................I might be able to pick up an extra day of work here and there if someone calls in sick/takes vacation time. It's not something I have control over...................I'm really not interested in/motivated enough to find a facility that would want to hire me for 2 days a month.
So for right now what I've decided to do is pay my car off 2 years early.............and then tighten my belt. If I can still manage to save, above and beyond my tsa..........then yay. If however things get too tight, then I'll go on a hunt for another job.
It will work out either way...................things just have a way of working out.
