Is it time to eat yet?

We really have like.. no food in the house. Or, if we have one thing, we don’t have something that goes with it to make it good. (ie: We have chicken nuggets, but no BBQ sauce. We have frozen burgers, but no buns and no ketchup.) I think the only thing we DO have is a box of noodle soup, which I’ll be making here in a minute.  We’re going grocery shopping later on when Branden gets home, so at least we’ll have stuff for dinner tonight. I have something like 4 new recipes to try out this week. Super excited! Our grocery bill is going to be semi-massive, but we’ll live.

As for my new job, I’m really liking it. It’s fun, not a ton of stress, but still pretty fast paced. And I’m getting really good hours, so I’m happy all around. I’m going to be quitting Cracker Barrel, I think. I realized that I don’t really need to work there to keep up, and I don’t see myself quitting Meijer any time soon, just because I LOVE it out there. I really like the people I work with also, so that makes it a lot better. Plus, I hate working every single Sunday! I hate trying to schedule work around my family, because they tend to have get togethers on Sundays, and I can’t make it a lot of the time. It’s frustrating. But hopefully after I quit I won’t need to worry about it anymore.

Ok, my stomach is like “feed me, bitch!” so I’m going to go make some food! Expect a video of our new house soon, because it’s all clean. I just need to edit and upload. :D

Upgraded and Exhausted.

I’ve just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. I had some issues with earlier versions of the editor, just because I LOVE having the little buttons at the top for bold, lists, alignment, etc. For some reason (And I don’t know if maybe this was just something I noticed or if any of you noticed it too) a few earlier versions didn’t have those!  I was beside myself in agony not knowing what to do. Me? Physically type out tags for bold, lists, etc.? I think NOT, my friends. I could not wait until that little issue was resolved, and now it has been! Yay! That’s been my only issue with wordpress in the… three? years I’ve worked with it.

I started my new job yesterday, and I’m already exhausted. I can’t wait until my normal sleep schedule comes back. lol. (For those of you who don’t know, I’m a night owl, and my new job is on third shift.) I got up at 11, after four hours sleep to be at work by 1 yesterday. Today I was up at 7 to be at work by 8:30. And you know what? Tomorrow and Friday I have to be up by 5:30/6 to be at work by 7.  And to top it all off, I have to do the same thing on SATURDAY. There’s a little part of me that is throwing a tantrum right now, just because of that. A whining, crying, kicking and screaming toddler inside a walmart somewhere… That’s me right now.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to curl up in the fetal position and sob.
