I read online that the stamps will go up in May to another 1 cent, which means stamps will cost 42 cents! What are they trying to do, kick the snail mailers out of business? It is definitely time for me to stop taking on new pen pals. Unless Shannon finds a job soon, then maybe I could continue like I am. I am thankful for online bill pay as well. Paying my bills online saves me the postage for my letters instead. I already know I cannot afford overseas pals, so I only stick to USA only.
Shannon applied for 2 city jobs today. The application process seems really simple. You can mail, fax or drop off your application before the closing date. If you meet the minimum requirements, your application is forwarded to the hiring department and they call you for an interview. Yesterday I filled out the application to the best of my ability and had Shannon fill in the blanks. To save stamps, I decided to fax the applications in.
Shannon also received an email response from one of the many jobs he applied for online. Shannon just needs to call the person to let them know he is interested. We’ll see how that goes.

“Think Think Think”
It’s about 1:15am as I type this. I tried laying down to go to sleep around midnight but kept thinking about what to buy tomorrow. We’re going grocery shopping tomorrow and I was thinking about what foods to get for Kyle. I realize I need to change his foods around and give him variety since his tastes change from time to time and I know the same thing can get boring. But my choices are limited because I am not much of a cook! LOL I have to think SIMPLE! I definitely have to change his breakfast and lunch foods around a bit. So I was thinking about all of the possibilities.
I also realized that we haven’t been giving Kyle any milk, just juice and water. So this time, we’re only giving him milk or water.
Shannon once pointed out to me that I never get enough food for myself. Since I am the one to think of Kyle's meals, I never have time to think about myself! So I was thinking of food choices for myself.
I also did some job searching online tonight. I found a few company websites as well as stumbled upon a local city job site. I found a city job that Shannon could apply for. I had a feeling he wouldn’t apply for this job because he’d have to fill out the application and mail it in and then take a test. I don’t think he’s privy to the hiring processes of county, city, and state agencies. Tonight, I had to tell him that he really should apply for a city job. I think he would do very well on the test and if he does, he would be the first group of people called for an interview or at least put on the top of the list. I even told him that I would fill out the application for him.
Instead of sleeping, I had to get up and tell him all of this and let him know what I was thinking about, it would put my mind at ease. I also had to tell him when we are going to go grocery shopping tomorrow because he always chooses a time and it doesn’t fit in with Kyle’s schedule, it’s always on HIS time.
Plus, I can’t sleep because I had a good hour nap today! LOL Okay, so now you know what is going on in my never ending mind.
Please, stop by my website, I try to update it as much as I can. I sell mineral makeup, soy candles, a variety of bath and body products! Visit: http://www.ItsYourTurn.go.cc

Pampering Time
Valentine’s Day is next week and I am in the pampering mood. I really do need to relax and spoil myself. I know that we won’t be celebrating so I am spoiling myself, for which I truly deserve!
I got paid from a few of my sites, so I bought some candles yesterday from my new home business. By far, they offer the lowest prices on soy candles that I have seen. Plus they have been online for some time now, and have many happy consultants and customers.
I just checked my balance on one of my sites and I had enough to redeem for a $25 gift card from Bath & Body Works. I haven’t had a product from that store in so long. The last time I recall, Shannon bought my first Christmas gift there. It was our very first Christmas together. He bought me a big beautiful gift basket of everything they had in Vanilla! It was so cute that he bought me a Christmas gift that year, because we had only been dating for a little over a month. I also bought him some gifts that year. I remember I bought him a watch, which he still wears to this day. I also bought him an alarm clock. At the time, he really did need a new one. I still don’t know for sure what I want to get with the gift card. But it will be fun to “shop” for myself, as I barely get to do.
I already have some bath and body goodies, so I plan on using all of them on Valentine’s Day. I hope to take some time by myself and relax. I don’t expect to receive my candles before then, but if I do, that would be great too. I love burning candles and I definitely miss it!

The Naps are Back!
Kyle is back to wanting/needing to take naps. He’s starting to get tired around 3pm everyday. It’s been months since he’s ever taken a nap during the day. It’s nice to get some peace and quiet while he’s asleep.
Today I had to take Kyle for a walk twice. He really wanted to go outside. Luckily it wasn’t raining while we were outside. Today has been overcast and raining here and there. Yesterday, we started to really feel the humidity, which is a big difference from living in Nevada.
My husband is currently at a job interview. This is his second visit to this property and third interview with them. Hopefully they offer him the job he wants. The first time he was there, we were able to talk on the phone after his first interview. He said it was a really nice area! So if it works out, it would be a nice area to move to.
I joined a new home business today! It’s called Country Charm Scents! They offer natural soy candles, bath & body, and more! Their natural soy candles are the lowest prices I have seen. If you are looking for affordable priced gifts and goodies, please check it out! If you want to see the other businesses I represent, please visit my website at http://www.ItsYourTurn.go.cc!

Hopeful of Possibilities
Today I was stressing out about not having health insurance. Kyle and I both need to go to the doctors. Kyle still needs to have his 2 year check up and I need to see a doctor about my menstrual cycle. Today is the 16th day of being on my period. I can feel the effects of the blood loss. Not only that, I don’t eat meat so I don’t have enough iron as it is. This cycle was about 2 weeks late and now I am dealing with this extended period.
I have also been stressing about the job situation. But then today, Shannon got another call back from the hotel he interviewed with a week ago. They want him to come back in for another interview. He’s already interviewed with the General Manager and the Front Office Manager. Now he’s going to interview with the Director of Operations tomorrow afternoon.
I ordered vitamins for Kyle and myself. I also ordered some energizing soy protein for myself, that I can mix in with milk. We started the vitamins yesterday. I bought the infant/toddler vitamins that come in a powder form to mix in his juice or water. He’s also been taking a store brand children’s vitamin.
Lately Kyle hasn’t had much of an appetite. Usually he loves to eat and can’t get enough of it. However, he’s only eating about half or even a quarter of his meals. To fill his tummy, we feed him cheerios or crackers because that’s all he seems to want. So I am glad the vitamins arrived yesterday.
