Blake is about as ready for school as he can be. Now, if he can just go to sleep. I didn't do the traditional get-on-a-proper-sleep-schedule-for-school thing this year and he can't seem to fall asleep. I think everyone is as excited about school as he is.
He got to pick out his own wardrobe this year and I might add- he has good taste! He now has everything he needs until he wears out his jeans. Hopefully, by the time he wears them out, I'll have had a job for a while and can afford to buy more!
Brandon might have got an other job as a web developer at IU (Indiana University). We'll find out Friday. Needless to say, he isn't going back to day school - and I've gotten to the point where I am okay with it; he'll be attending night school and HE'LL be paying for it all. We compromised and I agreed that he can work during the day only if he finishes school. His way might take a bit longer, but it's what he wants. The way I see it, as long as he is going to finish school I'll be okay with it.
About my job search- it's sucking! I got offered a position as a customer service rep in a bank, and the pay is almost HALF of what I made at my last job! I don't think I can live on that! I guess I should take it for now until something better comes along.
A while back, I bought some slip covers for my sofa and love seat. Now I need some covers for my ugly blue chairs. The slip covers are a camel color and I really like them (anything other than cream colored!). Today I tried to put them on, and they are quite difficult to get them to fit just right. I can see it now, I'll be nagging "Don't sit on the furniture, you'll mess it all up!"
I really should realize that my kids aren't going to be home forever as they'll grow up and get married, or whatever. It would be nice if I can let go of my need to have everything perfect and just enjoy my family while I can.
BTW - I think I'm cured from bidding on ebay! I haven't been there in a long time, nor have I had the desire to! I am so proud of myself.
That's it for me-
