Changes in 2011

Things are going to start changing this year for the better. I knew this was going to be our year and so far I am right. Chris finally got a job after 9 long months of being unemployed! I am so excited for him!! I am also proud of him for not giving up. He is going to be an Assistant Operations Supervisor at Savers. He starts today. Its kinda weird because I used to work there years ago but it seems like it a lot better today. I liked working there it was just the people that were running it at the time wasn't too smart...lol. I hope this job works out for him. Its just a huge weight off my shoulders. I think he will be really good at it.
        I am thinking about quitting my job today. In fact I think I am. Because I don't get treated with respect there and Sunday was my breaking point. I was really sore on Sunday from walking the 5K the day before and I really didn't feel like coming in and sitting on my butt for 4-6 hours. There is this recording that we have to check everyday to see if we are working, I know stupid, so I check it that day and it said that all shifts are schedule to run but he can take a few calls in and to call him at a certain number at a certain time. So I called that number during those times and he told me that they had to take that away because they got a project at the last minute and I tried to tell him that I was sore and I didn't feel like coming in and he told me that I would be fine and I would only be working for 4 hours but it didn't end there. I was upset because he isn't suppose to do that, change things at the last minute. So I went in being a good employee and he just started making fun of me the minute that I walked in. I didn't think that was very professional of him to do that. I so deserve to be treated with respect at a job. After that day I couldn't handle it and I didn't want to come back in. So today I am going to go in and tell him that today is my last day. I am just grinding my teeth of the thought of going back in there. I think it would be good for me to quit because I can concentrate on my boys again and start looking for a new and better job for me.
        On a good note we still have money in our savings from our tax return!! YEAH!! So I know that we will be fine with only Chris working until I find a new job. We have done it before and we can do it again. I am so glad he got a job because now we can start looking for apartments and get out of my in laws. I can't wait until that day that we are on our own again. Its kinda scary because I don't want to get into the same mess that we were before but I know we can get through anything and plus we need to be on our own, we need to have our own place for us and the boys. We shouldn't be relieving on anyone to support us. We aren't going to hurry out we are going to take our time so we don't get too overwhelmed because we don't want to do that. So far we are not making the same mistakes we did last year and I think we learned from them quick. It wasn't a way we wanted to learn them but everything happens for a reason. 
      Since we still have money in savings we are going to give Rocky a great birthday.  So next month on his 6th birthday we are going to have his party at Boondocks because that is what he wanted. He deserves it! He has been doing really well in school, going everyday and becoming smarter everyday. The other day at school he wrote his first sentence! I am so proud of my little guy!! He is growing up so well and I think its thanks to us and plus his wonderful teacher. He has such a great teacher, I couldn't imagine him having a different teacher. I am so excited for him to have a great party!!
     So here to changes coming. Ready or not here they come!! I can take whatever is thrown our way and I know that we are going to be ok. Better than ok, GREAT!! Our goal this year was Chris to get a job and us to move out and I think we are accomplishing both the goals better than what we thought. We have to keep positive on things that are coming because they are for sure going to be good things for us.

Day 29 – Something you could never get tired of doing.

Day 28 – Your favorite movie.

I have a lot of favorite movies but this is one of my all time favorites. I love this movie!!

Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?

Last year

This year

I think how I changed is I am a lot stronger than what I was last year. I won't take anybody crap anymore that is for sure. I also realized that family is more important than anything else.

Day 26 – A photo of somewhere you’ve been to.

I went here to visit my dad the year 2003. The summer that I graduated from High School. I had so much fun there and it was great to go somewhere different. I think it was just awesome to spend some time with my dad since I don't see him very much but that is all going to change later on this month because he is moving to Vegas so much closer to us!

The 1st annual Team Piggy 5k walk/fun run

Yesterday I had the opportunity to walk in a 5k walk for breast cancer. It was a really amazing experience. I always wanted to do something like this because my aunt renee died from cancer of all over her body and I wanted to do it to support others in the disease. I even felt her presence there while I was walking so I knew she was there. It touched me so much to do it, how couldn't? Chris' aunt Stephanie is one of the members of Team Piggy and they did this walk to support people that they know going through the disease and also to raise money for their 3 day walk in November. And all the money goes to Susan G. Komen charity for breast cancer so its an awesome cause. Even though I am sore today it was for a great cause! I am glad I did it. I walk the whole 5 K even ran some so I am very proud of myself. If I had the chance to do it again I definitely would.

My shirt says speak no cancer, see no cancer, hear no cancer. This is how I feel towards cancer. I want us to find a cure for it because everyone deserves to live healthy and love lives too.

Day 25 – What’s in your purse?

I thought it would be a lot easier to take a picture again because I have a lot in my purse. I basically take everything with me when I am on the go.

Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.

My family. What is there more you can say.
