Driving me bonkers

TC was supposed to go to ESY yesterday but he didn't go because he woke up and was all broken out. It was bad!

Come to find out, Sara had some body wash in the shower and TC used it because Sara told him to. He has severe eczema and cannot use a lot of things that have a strong scent or lots of perfumes. Poor guy.

He went this morning though. I sure needed some time alone in a quiet house. Sara did help me yesterday by taking him in her room and starting a movie. TC's behavior has not been very good this week and mama was losin' it. My mind, that is.

Yesterday I finished my math final exam and I plan on rechecking it before I actually submit it. Psychology is all that I have left. I can't believe I am almost done with school. Hubs and I are going out this weekend to celebrate. Probably a nice lunch at Red Lobster and a WAl Mart trip without the kids. Hallelujah!!

I will start my job hunt in August. I am a little nervous and scared.

A day off and lots to do

I stayed home with TC yesterday. He sweated out a fever Monday night. I got a lot of things done around the house and dinner was done when hubs and Sara got home from school and work!

Last night TC had a meltdown because of "not wanting to go to school."
I hope he does okay today! He seemed fine this morning.

I am so ready for March 31st! My last day at work!
Here's hoping I can find another job once I start looking...one with good benefits.
I found out today that Obama extended the act for Cobra which means I only pay 35% of the premiums for me and Hubs insurance once my job goes away. Otherwise I would have been without insurance. I can hopefully get the kids on Chips. I plan on using some of my severance to cover insurance premiums while I am off. I am trying to get things squared away.

One day at a time!

Work woes

I am so over my job. You know I have mentioned we are closing as of March 31st. We are no longer processing anymore film.
The days are sloooooooooooooow.
The work is almost nil.
I spend most of my time reading blogs, which is not all bad.
But it makes the day go by slow.

I still wake up early and get the kids to school.
I try to have things laid out the night before so things move smoothly.
I have done good about not losing it with TC but last week I did.
He was whining and whining and whining and not getting dressed.
And I had a sick sinus headache.
Finally I yelled and he cried.
And I apologized.
But we HAVE to be out the door by 7 or he will miss the daycare bus.

I can't wait for these days to be over for awhile.
I can take him to school once my job goes away and if we are running a little late, no biggie!
But it is getting harder and harder to come to work at a job that will be gone in weeks. And the fact that there is nothing to work on makes it even harder!

What excites me

O M to the G.

Is it Friday yet?
Since they announced we are closing, all I can think about is being at home. Not here at this job.
UGH.

I am excited to be home and get some painting done, get my homework done during the day and not all night/ weekends. Not saying I won't have some on the weekends but I can get a head start on it.

I have plans on walking every day. Losing a few pounds.
Cooking healthy/delicious meals.

Organizing my house.
Cleaning things.

It gets me excited!
Am I crazy or what??

Moving to S. Carolina?

Ugh. TC has been a pill this week. My teen is freaking that we are moving due to my job..LOL. Nope, we are not transferring to the new lab in South Carolina. Not happening. A lot of the older people at my job are considering it though.

They don't have kids and they don't have a kid with Autism either. There are days I wish I could move far away though...don't get me wrong.

TC has been so on edge this week and I think maybe it's the weather, or maybe he is like women who have PMS because he does this like once a month for several days straight.

My husband has already made me mad this morning so I am not really in a good mood....and he told my mother in law we would come over.
Oh joy.
