OK So The Pink Was Too Much!

I really wanted purple for my blog color and eventually I'll figure out how to do it, but for the time being I went blue instead. I'll keep playing with this as I have time and get some cool sidebars set up as time permits! Right now, I need to focus on updating my resume and looking for a real job. The job I was working didn't work out....my choice not hers and my savings is starting to dwindle to the point where I feel the need to get some positive income coming in soon. The kids leave for summer visitation in about 2 weeks, so I figure that's when I'll really start looking for a job. I don't much care what I do as long as it brings in enough money for us to survive and not tap the savings on a regular basis anymore!

DBF started his new job this week and seems to be really happy with it. That's a good thing, since if he's happy at work he's more pleasant to be around when he's off work, or at least should be, since I didn't know him when he was happy at his old job. He is working a better shift than before too, swing shift is much more conducive to sleeping than graveyard is, especially when you consider I'll be working days! At least we'll be able to see each other sometimes when we're both awake, rather than passing on our way to and from work. Once the kids all leave for the summer, we'll get more time together, until I start working, since I won't be occupied with them and their school in the mornings!

Today I have to go to get stuff to clean the pool and start working on that. I hate owning a pool, but I bought the house with one, so I'll do what I have to do to keep it usable! I also have to get gas, and that's another grumpy subject, since I'm not sure I can get it for less than $3 per gallon today. DBF is going to check on his way to work. I can't wait until this school year is over and I can cut down on my driving and gas consumption! It will increase again once I go to work, but I'm hoping to find a job relatively close to home and against traffic so I don't have to burn too much in commuting! That's about all for today, my head hurts again. I really hate these first couple of really hot days every year!
