Skechers Shape Ups

I was reading about the Skechers shoes a few months ago, and I decided that once I found the money I would buy a pair.  Well, I found the money, and I bought them.  At first i felt a little wobbly, but then I found my stride.  So far the claims I've read about these shoes, such as toning your butt and legs have been true.  My legs are tighter and not as big as they were before i started wearing them.  I will advise you that they aren't really for all day wear, since after a while they start to hurt your feet.  So far, that's the only drawback I've noticed with these shoes.  I would recommend these shoes to anyone that I can.

Craigslist Can Be So Rude

The other day i put a posting on Craigslist, trying to find someone who would give me a car and then be paid at a later date since i really don't have the money for a car right now.  Not even 4 hours later,  I get an email from craigslist saying that I have violated the terms and conditions somehow.  I don't understand how people can solicit SEX, yet a single mother can't try to find a car so that she can drive to places to find a job so that she can support herself and her child!  It's ridiculous and horrible.  I don't see how I could have violated their terms, I didn't curse, or put up pornography.  All I did was simply ask for some kind stranger to give me a car so I can get on my feet and find a way to pay them back in the future.  If anyone knows where I can find a car...  Leave me a comment.

The Truth About "Telecommuting"

Recently I've been trying to find a job online that I can do at home, since I have no way of getting to work.  I've been on Google looking at "telecommuting jobs" and "stay at home jobs" for weeks.  Every time I think I've found a place where I can apply, I find out that there is a FEE to log in so that i can just apply for a job that i might not even get!  This is ridiculous, and needs to be stopped.  If anyone drops by here and notices my problem and has any advice on making money from home, please help a mother out.  Thank you.

Post Surgery

I had surgery on Wednesday morning, and  I am not able to pick up my daughter while recovering, so that leaves my mother to take care of her.  She's started getting aggravated with everything and complaining that I'm not moving fast enough to get the baby a bottle, or wash her pacifier.  She brought me home some lunch today, and there was tartar sauce in the bag with my food, she had bought herself food for tonight before she went to work, and i wasn't aware she hadn't set any sauce aside for herself, so i threw away the bag along with the sauce.  She found out that I threw them away and she burst into tears.  She says that she never gets anything and that I take her for granted, whenever I'm trying to recover from SURGERY!  I just don't know why she is acting like this.  I understand that she is doing a lot for me and I'm thankful, but there isn't much that I can do at the moment.

Getting Ready

Tomorrow morning i have to leave the house at 5 so that i can reach the hospital at 6.  I'm scheduled to have my gallbladder out at 8:30 a.m. and I have to get everything ready for Sarah to stay with my aunt for the day, and it can be a pain in the butt.  I have to figure out what will happen between the time I leave and when she picks her up.  Will she lay with my other aunt until she has to get up for work, or will she stay in her playpen?  Then there is the diaper bag.  You have to make sure there are enough diapers, formula and clothes.  It can drive a person crazy.

Day 1

This morning, Sarah has decided it is best for her to run around screaming and throwing her toys at my grandmother and I.  She thinks that if she hands me her electronic book that she will get my laptop.  I know she's young, but I've decided to put her in time out, and see how it works.  At first she screams like a banshee, but after 5 minutes she changes interests and chooses to read one of her many books.
