I have been really torn about what I want to do with my life. I know that raising a family is important but it is just not completely satisfying for me. Don’t get me wrong I love my children and my husband and definately enjoy spending as much time with them as I possibly can. But I always feel that I need something that I can do for me. I don’t however mean like going to the spa or being alone for any length of time, I mean more like a career. Something that I am good at. I think that I want to be a photographer. I took some photo’s while we were out at the pond last night. Here they are and let me know what you think. I really really want your opinions.

I am really in to it. Wow but I was checking out prices of good cameras and they are super spendy. Oh well I suppose that I can use my father in law’s till I can afford to get one of my own. (If ) I can afford to get one of my own that is.

Should we have to take workplace abuse from our boss? I know that the obvious answer is “NO” but what if you have a family that won’t make it if you are not working? It is such a cloudy issue for me. I have been in abusive relationships before and I know what the signs are.

My boss however has become very abusive towards me in the last week or so. He makes me cry almost on a daily basis at least once. Then Monday evening he called me screaming and cursing me out about absolutely nothing that makes sense. He says that he is just stressed and fighting with his wife. (We would be fighting too if my hubby spoke like that to me)

I don’t really know what to do. I can’t quit my family won’t survive if I do but I guess in the mean time I am just looking for something else. Any suggestions??? I guess my point it that he does not pay me enough to deal with his crap.

For example about a week and a half ago he dumped a garbage bag full of receipts and things on my desk and told me to do last years taxes. Nice to know that they were filed on time. I have never done taxes for a corporation before and I am just expected to get them done by the end of the day? He has absolutely unreal expectations. For instance… I had to install and input data from the last 6 months of work into Quickbooks. 6 MONTHS worth and he expected me to have zero questions about what he spent and what on, and to get it done in a matter of hours. Well it took me longer than he thought that it should and he was screaming and yelling then too. Isn’t he lovely.

Well I guess that is enough about that subject I just don’t understand why I end up with such creeps for employers.

Have a good night my hubby and I are going to take the kids to the pond to fish and feed the geese and ducks. My father-in-law wants us to go with him. Could be interesting……… I will let you know how it goes when we get back. I am nervous…….

I have decided that I really want to go back to school. Granted I am not sure of what I really want to do but I know that I need to. I feel really dumb…. All of my friends from high school are graduating college and I am not doing anything with my life so it feels. I know that being a mom etc is doing something with my life but I just wish that I had a career.

Oh well I guess I am just whining.

My oldest Alex, he is the super underoo man. I took this quite a wile ago, he was parading around the house in his under roo’s showing off for me.

Just before Brinley got here, Just a couple of days actually. I was miserable….. But as you can see I was still addicted to my Green Apple Jones Soda.

Mommy in the beginning stages of labor…

Baby Brinley is here….

I am so excited that I am able to go back to work. I am sure those of you that have no desire to work or don’t have to so that you can stay home with you kids are thinking that I am just horrible. But I get so stir crazy being home with my chitlins.

Don’t get me wrong I love them, I really do, they just drive me insane. I have been so accustomed to working my whole life even after my other two were born that for me to have been home as long as I have been was excruciating. There are days when I wish that I could just stay home and be with my kids so that I know everything about them and their day. But for us we need both incomes so I am hoping that with me back to work that it will relieve some of our household stress.

I am working for a construction restoration company in Stayton ,Oregon. I love it. My boss is great. He is a really nice guy that is really laid back, which is perfect for me. I can’t stand to be micromanaged. Don’t get me wrong he is there when I need him or have a question but for the most part he lets me do my thing.

The hours are flexible for my kids (which is an absolute necessity) and the pay is not too bad. The only thing that I really don’t like about it is that I have to drive about 20 miles to get to work.

Well gotta go, Brinley is complaining and I am headed out the door to work. Have a good one.
