Sammi's been sick. Like throwing up, listless, clingy sick. I think she's probably over it now, but I've got her down for a nap, because she's just fussy, for lack of a better word (I mean, can you really say a 2 year old is fussy?)

So Jane is coming to stay with us again, 2 weeks. It's a long story, but it was either that, or Steve go to jail. So yea.

Mom went home yesterday, we had a good visit while she was here. I guess a lot of the pressure was off, because she stayed at a hotel while she was here. She would come around noon, and leave around 8 each day. We went to John's on Monday, the night before she left, had a good time there. We went to the Roseville one. I think we like that one better than Stockton. It's a busier location, so they tend to have fresher pizza, and the games are different, the little kids play area definitely seems better. And this time, the prizes were better, so I got a little set of playing cards for my purse. Becca got 1000 tickets from one machine, she won the top prize, lucky her. And the next time we go, we'll get 65 tokens, because of a special they were offering that mom got us. I'm sure we'll think of her when we spend those. I am kind of hoping to go this month because we have a coupon for 115 tokens and 2 rides for 5 dollars. But we're going to have to budget that one out.

I have been job hunting again, but no call backs on anything I put out there, darn it. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place, but at least Alex could be weaned, if the need arises. I don't HAVE to nurse her anymore, it's just nice to be able to. The only thing is, and this is what makes me sick to my stomach, the jobs are only paying 10-14 dollars an hour, most are around 12. When I started working for Apple TEN years ago, I made 12 dollars an hour. By the time I left, I was making 17. Can we say WAH? Oh well, as someone wise pointed out to me, I got time with my family these past few years, time that nothing can take away from me. And, I believe I'm ready to go back to work. I just have to get over my fear of the interview process and not screw that up. I have got to make myself SHINE. I am going to re-do my resume yet again, so hopefully it'll catch people's eye better. I guess it's a process, and I haven't been in the game in a long time. I just need to focus on what's good, what I can do, instead of what's bad and what I can't do.
I've got to come up with something good for Father's Day... and he did so good, how can I compete with that? It's not like he needs anything... except maybe a bike. LOL. I guess I'll ask him what he wants. Though I did have a thought for a scrapbook...
And the next round of birthdays is coming up too... Mine, Jerry's and Breezy's. Jerry's going to be 40!! Only one more year for me. UGH!!!! Shabree will be 7. Time... well, you know. That means we've been married 8 years! And I'm just as much in love with him now as I was when I married him. I'm a lucky woman.
Well, I'd better go. No pictures, because I simply don't have any. I haven't been taking pictures, I guess I should.
I'm going to go read a book. I need to get Alex out of here, before she destroys something.
