I got the job at the fitness centre and I think I'm excited.
I have this habit of getting really excited about something and think it's great and then have this huge letdown. So I don't want to get overly excited. I'm just kinda happy. I'd be happier if I knew the husband was thrilled. but he too, is just kinda happy. He wanted the full time money (as did I). But I wanted the current lifestyle that my boys lead to not change. I'm not ready yet. I go on Friday to submit my paperwork and give a void cheque so they can deposit my wages. I'll be earning money...sweet. Not much, but more than what I make now...
Which is good. We just had a $200 furnace repair. The asshole that lives 2 doors down - whom I do NOT like, by the way - had the exact same problem with his furnace last night and he got it fixed free of charge.
And poor Sean. I feel awful. He was up until 5:30am this morning. He stayed downstairs and had to restart the furnace every 30 minutes or so, just to keep some heat in the house. Both boys bedrooms are above the garage and are colder as it is. We didn't want it dangerously cold in there. I've heard it's better to sleep in a cooler room - but this was just plain COLD.
Cuyler started 4 mornings a week this week. We added Mondays. So he's just off Wednesdays now. I'm not sure I want him in 5 mornings. I love that break mid-week for him. But I don't really have a choice come January when I'll be working 5 mornings...
Seans Dad is retired as of last Wednesday, so he can always be my backup.
My boys have been sick. Cold, cough and snotty sick - not poopy/pukey sick (thank God)
Since mid-October Cam has had a 2 week round of puffers 4x/day, then he had pink eye, then he had croup, then pink eye and he's still coughing alot.
Cuyler has had pink eye, then a snotty snotty nose, then a snotty eye (not pink eye).
I feel we are coming out of it now and hopefully they will be healthy for the holidays.
It's 10pm now. I just cleaned the living room, cleaned the kitchen, got lunches prepped for tomorrow and did 2 loads of laundry. I am spent and don't feel like writing in this blog right now. I do feel like getting into my flannel pj's and curling up under my duvet. Now that we have heat - I'll sleep tonight.

i'm so happy you got the job!
don't worry - it's going to be great!
Oh YAY!!! Congrats on the job! I understand the not wanting to get too excited, but girl...it's going to be great. You've got back up for the kids and you'll feel better!!!
Hope the boys feel better for the holidays - have you & Sean managed to steer clear of the Pink eye?
Congrats on your job! It will feel great to have time out of the house and being part time means your schedule and your kids schedules will only have to change a little. I think it is the perfect balance. If only you could be paid for full time!
