Tough Month

April 4th, 2009 at 10:49 pm

I can honestly say that the first month back to work is going to be the hardest.

So far, I have no idea what my schedule will be like. However, if it is anything like my training schedule, it will be rough. Hard to get back in the swing of things, and most importantly, not so much liking the idea of working a 10 hour day without a break. At this point, money is money, and no one can be picky about that.

I enrolled Juliette in a daycare I wasn't completely in love with ... the daycare I was in love with didn't have any openings. Juliette isn't very happy at her school, and the one teacher grates my nerves. Every single day. She's always making a snide remark about me or Juliette ...and I have been trying really hard to not loose my temper. Daycare I love has an opening June 1st, so now I'm just trying to bide my time until then.

The worst part so far is just lack of money. I have money enough for gas and daycare, and not much else. My mom and dad are going to Disney this week for Spring Break, and are asking me to come up depending on my work schedule ... and I just don't want to waste the gas money. However, part of me really wants to get away, even if just for the evening to enjoy some Disney fireworks, and just to not have to sit in my house all the time. We don't have APs to actually go to the parks, but there is a lot of stuff to do at the campsite, all of them my favorite price ... free. I'm all about free.

May will be better, right? I know with all the new water restrictions we have ... my water bill will be a lot lower. Trying to do what I can to help with the drought, while also trying to get some veggies to grow in my garden ... it's a really tough balance. We got some really heavy rain yesterday ... the first time in at least 3 weeks. However, there doesn't look like much else in the future. Crazy how sometimes getting hit by at least a tropical storm to bring some much needed rain to the area doesn't really seem like a bad idea right about now ...as long as it didn't have completely horrid winds along with it.

    June 1st will be here before you know it. Hang in there! Disney fireworks sounds like it would be fun.

    Yeah ... we love to go down to the beach at Fort Wilderness while my parents are there camping, and watch the fireworks from Magic Kingdom ... then a little later comes the Electric Water Pagant, which is just a bunch of boats with lights on them. The music always makes me happy.

    We can't afford a "real" Disney vacation this year, so we might as well get all the free Disney while we can.
