(no subject)
i went to get alexis one thing at the store. an infant carrier....one of those things you can strap on and wear while doing stuff. thought it would be awesome to have.....so i can get more done during the day.
why i decided to go to babies r us...i have no idea. it's like the coolest place if you have kids! i swear it's like a toy store for parents.
i ended up getting a baby bath tub, an infant play yard and the infant carrier. I went in there thinking I would spend $20 and there I went spending $110.
ha not that I have $110 to spend on stuff right now. But oh well. I did. That's life. She needed it!
(ok the infant play yard..she could live with out and that was $69..but I read that it helps with hand eye cordination and I have really shitty hand eye cordination. Figured she might need some extra help with that so she's not like me).
a warning. If you ever have kids....NEVER BUY A SNUGLI infant carrier. I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to adjust it so it would fit me.
SO IM SHORT. SUE ME!
Genia is still coming here. They leave tomorrow and are driving straight through. Will be here Monday morning. Twice I have had to tell her or her parents I cant help. Her mom called to see if Genia and her kids could stay with me. I live in a house, but granted it's not mine and there are 6 of us in a four bedroom house as it is. I couldnt add 6 more people to the mix. Genia called the other day and wanted to know if I had a place she could store some of her stuff. I felt bad saying no, but i dont. She asked if my mom did and she doesnt.
She told me not to worry about it and that she'd think of something. She wasnt upset, but i feel bad saying no to people. Expecially one of my best friends.
I am getting really nervous about seeing her again. It's been so long. 9 years. God ... I am not the same person at ALL that i was two years ago..let alone 9 years. Talking to her on the phone and via letters just isnt the same either, ya know.
Mom is worried that I will get caught up in something with her and I wont be able to get out of it. Not sure if that's the case, but we'll see. Mom also worries that Genia isnt the mother I hope she is. That right there will determine so much of what will happen with us as friends. I could never be friends with a shitty mom. NEVER. (i dont think she is..but again..who knows).
She did ask if I would be interested in watching her kids while she went to work. at first i said NO. 5 kids + Alexis? Are you insane?! Then i started thinking about it...four of the five are in school full time. I'd have to get them up most likely and get them ready and out the door. Then one will be in kindergarden this year. So half a day. Not too bad again. Then I'd have to get them from school...etc.
For a while it might work? I would make a hell of a lot more (around $600) than if I went back to my job....and I wouldnt have to put Alexis in daycare myself. That alone makes it really tempting.
I also applied for a different telemarketing job. I told the guy I would only accept the job if I could work from home. He said he would get back to me on if I could or not.
Somethin is gunna work out!
ok kids...Alexis is bored with her pillow..so I should be going. Cher, I'll get that thing out to you sometime. Not sure when..but I will! And I talked to Ian. I have his email address..if you want it. Let me know!
bye bye!
