This is my work week. I don’t usually work, but I am helping a friend out, and actually I am thinking that if I can, I may get a part time job to help out with expenses. Anyway, here are thirteen things I think about, regarding working.
- I had to get up early! I am not one who enjoys getting up early. I bet I’m not the only one.
- I did my hair, and actually had to use the curling iron and hair spray to tame my mop. I wouldn’t want to look messy in a hair salon!
- Make up! Yes, I had to do my make up. I almost never wear make-up and I just hate putting it on!
- I made our breakfast, and emptied the dishwasher while I was doing this. I sort of hoped that Hubby would get the idea to fill in with the dirty dishes.
- Unfortunately, Hubby did not put the dishes into the dishwasher. I guess I need to mention it to him.
- I’d hoped that Hubby would volunteer to make the dinner. He didn’t, so you know who heated up the meal.
- The funny thing is, I will do it all over again tomorrow. Not so bad, really.
- I wondered how many people have jobs that they really love and yet still come home each day and cook meals for themselves and their families.
- I’ve tried to figure out what type of job would really make me happy.
- I haven’t seen an ad to become a member of the Royal Family, where you go around smiling, shaking hands and being waited on.
- I would think it would be fun to be an actress. Fancy clothes, hair styles, you know. Again, no one has asked.
- Meanwhile, I plan to lay out my clothes again tonight.
- Am I the only one who does that?
Don’t know what life would be like if I hadn’t always worked. I might actually like to cook;) jack likes to so he does (dinner, we are on our own for the other two) and I clean up. All the other chores we kind of split. Not down the middle or anything just whoever has time does. I like mowing the lawn in the summer. First the push mower then the ride o. Jack does so much mowing he likes a break. Life is funny. You never know what you end up doing. I like to work but vacations are better!
I worked full-time for 3 years with kids at home to feed after work … I think we spent a lot of my salary on take-out food!! I hated it really … liked working part-time and may consider that again some day (soon).
I think it is useless to hope that someone will do a task around the house. I always have to mention things. It gets tiring. I made a job chart and after all this time I still have to mention things. I do a lot myself just because I am so tired of asking/telling people to do things. One day they might all be gone though.
I don’t know how people with children work full time. I consider working part-time but not sure how I’ll handle it as things are so overwhelming and backed up now at home. I would like the extra money though. I decided it would have to be a 9-1 or 9-2 so I’d have time to recoup before having to make dinner. Or maybe an evening job. I really admire those that manage a job (either full- or part-time) and taking care of a family.
I always liked the name Savannah. It’s so beautiful. I hope she feels better soon. If you get a chance you should see the movie Savannah Smiles. It’s old and kind of dated but I love it. I cry like crazy every time I wtch it.
I have worked all my life and I was very happy, because I loved my job. I would have gone crazy to stay at home and raise kids ! But that’s a choice. When I worked it was hard for me to get up, now that I am retired, I wake up at 6 am !! it’s a shame, lol ! We have always shared household scores as we worked both, and now we are both retired so that remains the same. I think it’s nice to get a little half time job, that gets you out of the house and brings some money in !
Up until I became disabled, I always worked full time outside the home — I HATED it. The lack of control over my environment, the fact that I couldn’t stand what I was doing AND it was keeping me from doing what I really wanted to do (writing), and all of those prep things and house-care things that still needed to be done… it was just not for me. I was very lucky that my physical health actually allowed me to make my dreams come true and write.
Now I love working!
P.S. Your sweetie is SO CUTE I JUST WANT TO EAT HER UP!

Mom always thought you’d be an exceptional actress!!!
