  • New Job Woo Hoo!

    As some of you may know I have been looking for a second job for many months now. The amount of hours that I get at my job with Target and the wages that I am paid just aren't enough for me to pay the bills that I have and get myself out of the mound of debt that I found myself under recently.

    Like most people I would like to move out of my parents house and live on my own. I hate being dependent on them even after I have graduated from College. I am going nowhere fast with Target and I don't make enough there for me to be living independent from my parents. It's said but occassionally (more often than not) I rely on them for meals or money to pay my bills. I have been literally searching the city of Oshkosh for jobs over the past year, since I have graduated from College, for a second part-time job or a consistently full-time job that pays enough for me to be able to pay my bills and still be able to afford to live some place of my own, weather it's renting or buying at this point doesn't matter I just want someplace to call my own.

    Well, I haven't found a full-time job that pays enough for me to live on my own, I have managed to find a second part-time job that will help me pay off some of my bills and eventually hopefully help me to be able to afford some place of my own for once. Although the job is on a part-time basis right now it will be on a full-time basis once schools starts back up in the fall.

    I start my new job this coming Monday July 2nd. On Monday and Tuesday of this coming week I will be working on Second shift in order to get trained for my position and then on Thursday of this coming week I will be on third shift which is the shift that I was hired for in the first place. In this new position I will work 24 to 32 hours a week and then an additional 35 hours or so a week at Target.

    Many of you might be wondering what my new job is, well, for those fo you reading this that don't know it will be a night auditor at the La Quinta Inn in Oshkosh. I will be working at the front desk on a part-time basis during the summer months, then once the school year starts back up again I will be working there full-time in addition to working at Target and going back to school in the afternoon and early evenings until December. In December the program that I am enrolled in at the Tech will be finished.

    I am going to Fox Valley Technical College to become a Certified Nursing Assisstant! Hopefully then I will be able to get a job as a Nursing Assisstant on a full-time basis so that I only have to work one job rather than too but for the time being at least I should be able to pay my bills easier and hopefully get myself out of debt sooner with the two jobs that I have currently.

  • OH My!

    Chaos Chaos Chaos!

    That would be the short story of it all, but for those of you interested I guess I can give you the longer version too. It all started the day before my birthday! An infamous day for my family I guess. But there was a little bit of happiness that happend that day too now.

    I was at work and I got a couple of phone calls from my mother. The first one told me that my Grandma was in the hospital because she had been coughing up blood. She also told me that I should call my aunt Tammy because she had a job interview and needed a baby sitter for her daughter. The second phone call from my mother was asking me if I got a hold of Tammy and also asking if I could go to the hospital and sit with my Grandma for a little while so my Aunt Laurie could sleep and so my Aunt Barb didn't have to take off of work so early. So after I got off of work at 10am I called my mom back and told her that I would sit with my Grandma for a little bit until Barb got there. I sat with my Grandma until 12:00 then left to go to my Aunt Tammy's house and babysit. Now mind you I still didn't know what was wrong with my Grandma cuz her test results hadn't come back yet. In the middle of the day at some point I found out my Grandma had a bleeding ulcer caused from taking advil. I babysat until 4:30 then I went home and did the chores and then went back to the hospital to see my grandma again. While I was there my Aunt Katie called, she was at the other hospital by my Cousin who was nine months pregnant. She called to let us know that my cousin had her baby. After I visited with my grandma until 9pm I left so that my Grandma could sleep and also cuz I still hadn't had anything to eat at all during the day plus I was really tired. I stopped at McDonalds for dinner then I went over to my boyfriends for a little while to hang out with him before he went to work at 11pm. Then I went to bed because I was just plane exhausted by that time.

    Then on my Birthday June 6th my grandma was released from the Hospital. It was a pretty good day but was still busy at least this time it was with Birthday fun. My boyfriend and I hung out all day long at his place not doing much of anything just spending time together. Then he took me to Red Lobster in Appleton for an early dinner with my parents and sister in-law. He also made me a Happy 25th Birthday Banner from scratch it's really cool. I have a picture of it on my camera that I'll have to put online sometime when I get a chance. Then after dinner he took me to the skyline comedy club in Appleton. The comedian was really funny and I had a fabulous time while I was there. I had never been there before but it was a really cool experience. After the comedian he and I went out to the Bar in Oshkosh. We spent the remainder of the night there. At about one am or so one of his friends joined us there and hung out with us until bar closing time. After which time I went home to go to bed.

    Then the next morning June 7 I woke off to my phone alarm going off to tell me that I had a hair appointment so I woke up and went to go get my hair cut. On the way there I noticed that I had a voice mail on my phone so I checked to see what it was about. It was my aunt calling me, my grandma wasn't feeling well so she took her to the doctor. I got my hair cut and called my aunt back then we decided that I would take my grandma for the tests and x-rays that she needed at the hospital in Oshkosh well Tammy went home so that my cousin Jackie could go to work. Jackie was watching Tammy's daughter while Tammy was at the Doctor's with Grandma. At the hospital they took blood from my Grandma for the tests they needed to run and took an X-ray of her stomach to try and figure out why she got so nauseus when she tried to walk. After the hospital I took my Grandma to the pharmacy to get a perscription and then dropped her off and Tammy's house.

    Then that night I babysat for my Aunt Jenny's two boys while she went to work so I didn't get to bed until almost midnight i think it was by the time I fell asleep. Then June 8 I got up and went to work again since I had only taken two days off and not three. After work I was hanging out with my boyfriend and my mom called me at about 3 o'clock or so in the afternoon. She told me that my Grandma was in the Hospital again. She was still internally bleeding, and was anemic. Plus she was still really nauseas when she tried to walk. They gave her two units of blood then checked her blood count and when I left the hospital after visiting her last night she was still low so they were going to give her a third unit of blood. It was possible that she could be released today but I haven't heard anything as of yet so I am really not sure.

    I just want this horrible week to end and I want my Grandma to get better and out of the hospital. Preferable I would like it if she would stay out of the hospital for more than 24 hours this time but baby steps will work too I guess. I am just tired of all the chaos going on in my life. Why can't it just be calm for once.

  • Life's Little Tidbits

    There has been a lot going on in my life lately. I've been really busy lately and haven't really had a chance to blog much so I thought I'd take the time that I made at the moment to fill you in on some things in my life. Most of you know that I am in a relationship or at least I think most of you know that. You should know if you are friends with me on facebook but anyway to continue or as my boyfriend likes to say I digress.

    I apologize if this blog is choppy at all but I don't really know how else to relay the information other than to just say it lol. Or type it in this case but anyway.

    Some of you probably know that my birthday is coming up. For those of you that don't know my birthday is in 5 days and counting. I can't believe that I am going to be a hole quarter of a century old. My boyfriend and my parents are in kahootz for something to do with my birthday but i am not really sure what it is and frankly to be honest I don't really want to know. At least not until my birthday, this way i will be surprised with what they end up doing for me.

    I play softball in a co-ed league up in Menasha on Sunday nights. My family and I have a softball team, or at least most of the team is my family, there are two of my brother's friends that play with us along with my cousin's boyfriend and his friend that play too. There are 12 players on the team in total. So far this season we have played two games out of those games we have won one of them.

    I found out last week that my cousin had a baby well I guess that's how you would say it. My Cousin Tyler apparently slept with a girl and got her pregnant they aren't married or dating infact my cousin is dating someone else. He never told anyone in the family that he was going to be a father until a week ago Saturday. Then he told his dad about it because the girl he got pregnant was having labor pains and was due to have the baby soon. She ended up having the baby a week ago well it'll be two weeks ago now this coming Sunday.

    My other cousin Erin is pregnant as well. She was due to have her baby yesterday actually but as of yet she hasn't delivered, at least not that I know of. Hey maybe she'll hold out a few more days and have the baby on my Birthday lol. That'd be kind of cool then I could share my birthday with a third member of my family. The two cousins that have and are about to have a baby are both Brother and Sister so this makes grandchildren number 8 and 9 for my uncle Gary.

    My nephew is getting to be really big, he will actually be turning Three  on the 28th of September. He refuses to be called a little guy and if you call him something nine times out of ten he'll say "no I am a big boy" either that or "no I'm chester". He's getting to be quite the independent type, he likes to do lots of things by himself and doesn't always want help with things like he used too.

    I thought I'd also share a few pictures with you in this blog!

     

    The Guy in the picture is my boyfriend, Brent, we went to the park in oshkosh so that Logan (his son) could play!

    Brent Again, lounging on his couch at home, I Like This picture better because he actually has a smile on his face rather than the goofy look like in the other picture.

    On the Left is Logan and On the right is Chester. They were playing something together and didn't want to be interupted apparently cuz Chester shut the door on me shortly after I took the picture!

    And Know you Know the rest of the story! haha okay that was my sad attempt at a joke but anway I should be letting you go cuz I have a certain boyfriend to hang out with and a certain child to go pick up from his mother's house so he can spend time with his daddy tonight. Catch you all later hopefully!

About Me

  • I am a 24 year old who recently graduated from college. I returned to christ a year and a half ago and although sometimes I occassionally forget that god is there with me he truly is the most important thing in my life. Following god tied for second place in importance in my life is my boyfriend, my family, and my friends. Without all of these people in my life I wouldn't be able to get through the many obstacles that I have been handed in my life.
