its already thursday?

wow, it has been a smidge...but not as long as last time..just busy with household chores and the kids...also looking for work...like the last 3 months...cos i decided 3 months ago it would be ok for me to work...
but alas, i got an interview with a chick for apt leasing consultant...ive already done that so i have experience and they need a latina...but she's on vacay this week and will let me know either way next week...
then today i am waiting on a call from a bilingual call center..they had called me before and never called back..then i wrote them saying hey you still have it on craigslist, whats up...he said i had no call center background, and i said oh yes i do, i worked for bellsouth in miami...i told the chick that but i guess she thought i was talking about sprint which was on my resume...b.s. is far back...so he said he would call this morning..but if he doesnt call by 10 then i call him...he's just a recruiter or staffer whatever so i can bug him...
so i woke up early to avoid being caught with sleepy voice, yet i guess my allergies are acting up cos my throat is scratchy, hence i am making green/spearmint tea to soothe it...
what else? well yesterday was fun, but ill start with the day b4...mai was bummed about not doing shit but the pool on the 4th..so we got some sparklers, played in with the hose&shower...yes we have a shower in the backyard...(we are serious about our tanning)(lol) we put peanut in a cooler with water..that was funny...i knew it was a chill day when mai said we should have done this on the 4th it would have been soo much better...
so yesterday i took advantage of the clothes line chuck put up for me(well, us, but me)and mai wanted streaks in her hair so i put some peroxide and told her to sit in the sun for a bit...it was hella hot yesterday, but with mists from the shower she felt better...she lasted a whole half hour..i lasted 2 i think, but i kept coming in...
peanut is almost walking now...he talks a smidge like dada, mama, ba-nana,mmmmmmmmmm (milk),baby and booberry...not boob-ery...boo like blue berries dangit...well i have run out of thoughts this early morning..well its 928 so its not that early..but peanut has a good system, he wakes up at 8 for milk, then goes back to bed until 10ish..so i usually nap with him...but not this morning for me..let me get to that tea cos my throat is really itchy...

friday

well today has been quite long...no nap and those are needed, but such is life...had a job interview, felt good juju from the ladies, but we will see...im staying positive...then i went social svcs to ask for daycare assistance, there is a waiting list for years and both parents need to be either working or in school..thanks for nothing...went to visit my friend sara before heading to food lion..
ended up at the abc store..made beautiful orange smoothies w/rum...my friend bridge came by and we talked about different herbs...
then off to my moms we went...chilled at the pool...besides going to the bullhole last week, that is not really a pool(chuck hadnt seen him in a regular pool)) so i pretty much sat out...chuck took an awesome pic of me that apparently is ok with him to post.it is an absolutely great picture, but there may be fb freaks looking to get their jollies off from my bikini top up...whatever...
mai convinced us (as always) to leave her at my moms...i really dont mind cos sometimes hel needs a break for a smidge...but i keep expecting her to come downstairs...but no, i am here feeling groovy from said orange smoothie..havent drank liquor in a while...chuck calls me the sipper...cos i can house a drink for over an hour...
isnt this exciting??? well my eyes are shutting..so good nite...

saturday a.m.

well i only woke up three times last night..and the spaces in between were longer than an hour or two..
then at 8 governor peabody needed to have his bum changed and have some milk...luckily he went right back to sleep..at around 845 chuck told me he had some work to do, so i said be careful and passed back out...peanut woke up again at 10 so we are watching saturday morning cartoons..
it has been a few weeks that it has just been me and peanut...with chuck just doing odd lawns here and there, he is home and watching me constantly refreshing craigslist...i also keep sending out his resume for jobs i can assume he can do...i have had one response in all these weeks for me...they were all thrilled i had years of call center experience, then asked if i had any experience in insurance and benefits...i said no, they said they will call back..two days later, nothing...now why do that?? if you have my resume stating the call center and you see it was for a phone company and not health benefits, then why the fuk call me...such is life...i am still on the prowl...
i have decided i need a job in corporate america...altho its not what i want, it is the benefits and pay my family needs...so the search continues...there are some jobs i want to apply for, but i make more on umemployment than spending gas for a part time gig...
what else??? going to pick up mai...later on today...oh, i signed up for school...being that ftcc is being little bitchasses i decided to write to univ. of phoenix...i looked at a whole bunch of others online, but all of them had like a 20 percent retention rate...and graduation rate of 45 percent...at least univ of phoenix has a 70 percent retention rate, and an 83 percent graduation...that made me feel a smidge better..
thinking of staying on the psych road but have also contemplated medical coding..i know i would hate it, but they get paid buku money...and they are always a trillion jobs for them...i dont think that job is going anywhere anytime soon..everyone needs a doc every once in a while. and i guess all that get coded..
well what to say what to say...i think that is it for now...late-hel

new day

my sleeping habits are quite disconcerting...peanut is a good sleeper with an occasional waking but he just needs to be given his blanket...me, on the other hand, wake up every 1 or 2 hours like clock work...it is so ugh...
im constantly zombiefied...i try and nap throughout the day, but alas, my brain is on fast foward all the time...over thinking things all day long...looking for work is bugging the fuk out of me too...i have sent out so many resumes and i thought being bilingual would help...not really...
my eating habits are absolutely horrid...losing 54 pounds since last year(well peanut made me lose about 25 pounds or so, the rest was after...but my metabolism must be screwy cos i dont eat during the day(not to starve, just not hungry--maybe a snack or two) but night time hits and my stomach opens...most people who eat and go to bed gain weight, i dont...i am not complaining but i seriously eat the house...no shit...
so what to do...i dunno...just sit here on the puter, constantly checking craigslist, all the other help wanted sites that just want you to sign up for offers of schooling and such...
what the fukn hell???
and the fact of the matter is, that i do not want to leave peanut already..but he is almost a year, and thats when i started leaving mai...but it still sucks...looking for third shift positions...none to be had cos i have no experience in those areas...i would so work in a warehouse/factory what have you...the age old question---how do you get a job without experience? how do you get experience without a job...
but my farm is going well...i posted pics on the homegrown blog...and i keep applying for grants, but the pepsi grant is much more easy than government ones...
i will be patient...and peanut is now wanting to be carried or out and about so he whines quite a bit...i cant carry that 25+ pound boy everywhere...
i am just blah right now...not the best time to write, i guess...
