This afternoon I went to see Kung-Fu Panda with my friend Jamie and 4 kids that she baby-sits for…all of them are under 5, one of them being my darling baby boy. We had such a good time! All the kids sat perfectly still and there was very minimal talking going on. In fact, most of the talking was me and Jamie discussing how well behaved the children were 
It was really nice doing something with Jamie. She and I really have lost touch over the past year and a half, so when she asked if I wanted to go with her, I didn’t hesitate. This is the woman who knows all of my high-school secrets, and then some. And I know all of hers.
This was Seth’s first movie theatre experience. It was so fun to watch his eyes get THISBIG when the previews started and the volume gets turned up and the lights get turned down. And, even more importantly…we didn’t have to get up to go potty once!! Now that is a positive movie experience!
I have today off, so I’m just being a bum and not doing much. And for the first time, I am ok with doing nothing. I have tomorrow off, too, so maybe I’ll be more motivated then. My house does need to be cleaned, but I can always push that off til its closer to when my mom gets here
We are so short staffed at work that the higher-ups have decided to do internal contracting. This happens very rarely. What this means is my supervisor puts out a list of dates and shifts that need coverage. When you sign up and work, you get an additional $10.42/hr more. Add that on top of shift differential, weekend premium, and weekend bonus for picking up a weekend shift, and it good money for 8 hours. It is also first come, first served. So I went down last night and signed up for an additional shift each week. I would’ve loved to done more, but I don’t want to work more than 4 days in row, especially when 3 of them are 12 hour shifts. And I don’t want to get burnt out. Anyway, the extra $$ on my paycheck will go to good use!
Tay had a friend spend the night last night and he is still here, so I tihnk I’m going to go bug them and video games with them Oh, if we are playing SingStar, and the dogs decide to howl with us, do you think that is a good sign?!?! Yeah, that’s what I thought….
It must have been so much fun to see Seth’s little face when that projector started running! :0)
You deserve to be a bum, you work so hard and do so much. Do something fun with the money you make from picking up those extra shifts!
Little Dude’s first movie was Shrek. I was so mad because my sister took him when I specifically said that I wanted to be the one to take him to his first movie. They thought I got all Drama Queen on them but what they didn’t understand was that as a single (teenage) mother working full time and going to school full time I already missed so many firsts……okay that is my completely unrelated tangent for the day! lol
Little Dude went and saw Kung Fu Panda with his cousins last week and they all loved it. Jack Black cracks me up….wish I could’ve gone to see it.
That’s awesome that your work offers extra benefits like that but I can see how easy it’d be to take on too many extra shifts and get completely burned out.
Take some time to bum around…it’s called a Mental Health Day….and seriously? What could be more productive than bothering your children and embarassing them in front of their friends?
Sounds like you have lot of fun stuff going on! Your mom is visiting, you went to the movies and well video games are always a good time!
Glad you are having fun, laziness is okay also…
How did you like Kung Fu Panda? I thought it was alright, not the best.
I would totally wait till closer to the time your mom gets there to clean, no since in cleaning twice, LOL.
Yeah for the extra money!
Sounds like you have a lot to be happy about right now, yay!!
