Today is the first day I've had completely off in a long while! And by completely off I mean I didn't have to babysit this morning and I don't have to work tonight. My normal weekly schedule is Mondays and Tuesdays I watch the kids (for a reminder Trey and Ty, 5 and Tatum, 8 mos.) starting usually at 8:30 in the morning to the early to mid-after noon and Fridays from the same time in the morning to early evening. Sarah (the mom) has also thrown some Thursdays in there as well to keep me even more busy. I don't mind the work (most of the time) but, it's rough. Three kids is a lot to keep a handle on and I really don't know how my parents did it with 4! Sarah asked me the other day if watching them was good birth control and being the nice girl I am I responded saying "ohh, you know.. it's hard somtimes." But the TRUE answer is "hell yes, it is!"

My other line of work is obviously Torrid. Ohh, Torrid. I work about one or two closing shifts a week and normally on Saturday and Sunday so it's not bad. As Ashley has always said, I work "meaning-less retail" and part of that is true because basically with my position comes all of the bitch work. I mean, I take peoples clothes from them to put them away, I empty out fitting rooms, I re-hang dozens of clothes every shift, I size and reorganize them when customers get them all out of wack... Seriously?! How can that not be a definition of bitch work?! I hate cleaning up after myself, what makes you think I would enjoy cleaning up after other people?

Work sucks and it's tiring but my motto for the summer is "work=money". Now all I have to do is work on saving it. Which seems to be a lot harder than it looks. :)
