1. We have a crazy weekend in store! Both Tristan and Caelie have their end of season soccer festival’s and both in different counties. And Kieran has a soccer game here at the home fields. I’m exhausted already!

2. We have no open weekends from now until mid March due to soccer festivals, soccer tournaments and Region C. Soccer every weekend from now until then.

3. My hubby and my friend from dinner the other night really helped me out with something I’ve been going through with an old friend. And it really helped when I started a sentence about something in particular and Sean finished it for me and my friend said it was natural to feel that way. THANK YOU!!!!!

4. I’m LOVING the training we’re doing for my new job. I can’t understand why most companies wouldn’t offer work from home positions nowadays. I love learning in this environment. The teacher comes in and takes over our computers and we can watch what he’s doing. I think it’s so much easier to learn then in the classroom. Granted I know it costs them alot for the conference call, etc. But in the end I’m wondering if it’s more effective.

5. Sean wants to take courses to learn the computer. Wondering if there’s any he can take from home online.

6. Was looking through the discounts I can now get from my new job and they are AWESOME! Some like 15% off total monthly Verizon bill, get to go shopping at their emporiums (great for birthdays and Christmas), awesome discounts on their website and more.

7. Not sure what to do with a check Tristan got from his Godmother. We are no longer on speaking terms (I am done) and Tristan does not want the check, the note or the card. She already knows all this so I guess if I just don’t cash it, it won’t be a surprise. All of this is now showing me I made the right move for not just me but my family as well.

8. So glad that my mom is making a full and speedy recovery from her gall bladder surgery last week. (Was that last week? I’m so confused – so much going on!)

9. I can’t wait to get my 1st paycheck. We get paid every 2 weeks and luckily we all started at the beginning of the pay period.

10. Now that I use the computer for my job I find myself not really wanting to come on it just for fun as much.

11. I really need to change my blog look to something for Valentine’s Day. This look is getting on my nerves (plus I want the warmer Florida weather back!)

12. So tired of phone calls from bill collectors! Can’t wait for my added income to help pay them OFF and make them GO AWAY!

13. Still waiting on one more W2 form from when Sean worked in North Dakota last year and then we can get our taxes done! Show me the money!!!!!!

Yup, this is something we still do not have. It is still on our list of “thing s we REALLY need to get done NOW”. LOL It’s just been so hard lately money wise – we haven’t had any extra during the month to set aside for it. I don’t even know who to go to to find cheap insurance. Sean has some through his work (which we just found out a few months back) so that would help. But it’s not enough. I’m hoping now that I have a job, once we get some bills paid off and stop people from calling us that we can sit down and get some life insurance. It’s one of the (10 million things) that keep me awake at night.

Ever since moving to Florida, we get about 6 different phone books every year! SIX!!!! Why do we need 6????? I don’t get it – it’s such a waste of paper if you ask me. Especially in a day and age of the computer! You can find everything online these days from pet sitting to house painting and motorhome towing. I seriously do not need 6 phone books in my house. I’m wondering if there’s a way to call someone to get off the list so they stop dropping them off at your door? Does anyone out there know the answer to this? We get one from Verizon (our carriers) one from At&T (not our carriers) on for our immediate town, one for Tampa, one for the next town over and even one for just restaurants. It’s crazy!!!
