why i work

sometimes when i am at work, i think why am i doing this?! i don't get a lot done at home because i am tired when i get home but when i am home i don't really have much to do. there are busier times than others when we have something going on at church and things are crazy but then other times i really just clean, do laundry and "piddle" around the house. i know there are probably constructive things i could do i just can't think of any?!

pro's of working:

making a little extra money

something constructive for me to do with my day

feeling useful (when my kids think i do nothing all day)

get to wear cute clothes and get ready for the day

i watch less t.v.

not out spending money

a lot of my friends work

con's of working:

i am not very social with anyone

i don't clean as much at home

i am more tired

i don't get to walk baxter and exercise in the morning

not as motivated to excercise at all

i don't have as much time to read

some of my friends don't work

i think all in all it is good for me to go to work, i enjoy the kids, the teachers and since i am going to just have to work half day it is the perfect schedule since i am a SAHMWOSTAHK (a stay at home mom without stay at home kids!). and new to hawaii is something known as furlough fridays. this is so that teachers will not have to be laid off they were given 17 days off with no pay which means the students will also have off, so now they only go to school every other fri. it's ridiculous, i am so glad caleb is almost done with high school.

this is fall break so i have this week off, so far nothing too exciting but i have worked out every day and walked baxter every morning, and had plans for the pool yesterday but it rained so that is my big plan for today!
