Let’s recap shall we? I recently went to see my dr about the carpal tunnel results and I’m going for surgery on both hands. It’s going to suck but I think I’ll like having the time off (when the pain’s gone). Not sure when it’ll be, could be 1 month from now, could be 6 months from now. Work is…….the same. I attempted to get the Kitchen Manager to talk with our General Manager about my problems with “the bitch” but I’m not sure how that will go over. Krista has seen first hand what Ilonka doesn’t do and what she leaves for me. I’m really hoping that Michael will put an end to all of this. Shitty thing is, everyone else is getting raises..but me. I’m the least paid employee in that kitchen (that includes all the people that walk in the door and get hired too) and it’s pissing me off. I want to put my notice in….there’s no reason why I’m paid the least when I do ALOT of work. I do enough work for me and Ilonka. GRRRRRRR!!!! I don’t understand why a woman her age would be so immature and irresponsible. ANYWAY…..
Jacob’s been sleeping in a toddler bed for almost a month now. He’s soooo good, he’s so smart. He climbs right in at naptime and bedtime and goes right to bed. Doesn’t try to open the door, doesn’t play in his pirate ship, doesn’t grab toys or go through his dresser. He just goes to bed. If he wakes up in the morning before we do, he grabs toys from his toybox and keeps himself occupied until we get him. I can’t believe this kid, he amazes me everyday. When we wake him up in the morning now he says “morning” and when we put him to sleep at night he says “night night” and blows me a kiss (sometimes). The words that come out of his mouth on a daily basis…wow. More and more each day. He’s advanced so much since he turned 2. He’s very helpful when I’m doing something, unless it’s cleaning up the living room…he doesn’t like that. We have alot of throw cushions and he’s claimed them as “MINE!” (his), so whenever I pick them up off the floor and put them back on the sectional, he pulls them off and throws them somewhere else on the carpet. Kinda cute, but it gets annoying when I wanna clean before the babysitter comes here.
We’ve been looking for another babysitter again. Michelle has got a job now so I turned to the teenagers who were watching Jacob occassionally to see if they wanted a job. They took it. I’d rather pay someone who is in school, whether it be high school or college, than someone who’s sitting on their ass not wanting to get a real job. I actually had one lady demand that we pay her $10 (non-taxable) an hour to watch Jacob in her home. Ummmmm NO! I don’t think so. I think it’ll be best when I eventually work at home. Not sure when that’ll be but we’ll have 2 kids at that point in our lives. No way we’ll be able to afford daycare for 2 kids. But luckily the girls who will be watching Jacob are both in NorKam so I just pick them up during the week and they’ll alternate for Saturdays. They already know his schedule and where things are so that saves us alot of time. I’m kinda nervous though, I mean, we no longer have a back up babysitter for when Tanisha or Flora can’t do it. Since they’re sisters, I’m sure they’ll both go away at the same time…like if they were going on vacation. Anyway, we’ll think of that when we come to it.
