Our Sunday

I ended up waking up at 4:30 AM! Shannon got up around 11 AM and he said he was feeling sick! So I had him drink some orange juice. When he or myself get sick, we GET SICK pretty bad. We rarely get sick and when we do, it really hits us. The last time we were sick was in 2006 when Kyle was about 8 months old. He was sick for about 2 weeks and then I got sick in the middle of those 2 weeks and mine lasted 2 weeks and then Shannon got it for 2 weeks at least.

By the time 12:30 PM rolled around, I realized that it was EARLY. I was getting sleepy. Shannon was in the middle of his phone interview so I went to lay down and try to take a nap. Kyle followed and he eventually fell asleep too. I had a good 20 minute nap. Shannon's interview was about an hour and a half long. We talked about his interview and how it went for a good hour or so while Kyle slept. They still haven't called back today to let us know, so we're just waiting.

I ended up doing my training for a second platform (for work). I will have to focus on it more tomorrow because I am still exhausted. It is all very different and new and will take some getting used to.

Another Phone Interview

Shannon has another phone interview today at 12 noon our time. He asked me to wake him up at 10 AM. He needs a few hours to "wake up" and he needs his coffee before he can function! LOL

Phone Interview

Shannon had his interview tonight. It went really well. From what the HR lady said, their economy and business is doing well and they have steady business! The position is for the same job title Shannon had before but with a higher pay range. Relocation is also included, which was important for us. They are going to set up another phone interview with the department manager tomorrow. It sounds like they need someone quick! They have interviewed other candidates but none of them stood out and impressed them.

We are excited about this opportunity! This time around, we aren't worried about Kyle in the car. He loves car rides, plus he's older this time around.

This job is about a 12 hour drive away. I am just glad that relocation is taken care of. All we woud have to do is pack everything in boxes. I wouldn't mind staying in a hotel room for a few weeks until we found a place to live.

So I did Yoga yesterday

Have you ever tried a new activity, sport, or exercise, and the next day you feel sore? Can you remember the last time this happened to you?

Yesterday I was tired of pilates so I decided to do yoga instead! I am not a fan of yoga because it seems to be too slow paced for me and a whole lot of breathing. I get dizzy and lightheaded from all the breathing. LOL Anyway, I did some yoga and it felt really good and different, which I needed. It helps to change up my workouts here and there. Today my legs are really feeling it!

Days off, Job Interview, and More

I joined facebook a few days ago. I am still getting used to it's features and where to find everything. Still not sure what it all means. But it's very fun and active. I can comment on my friends status, and have live chats with friends.

I ended up staying up until Shannon got home last night. This week, I haven't been sleeping very much or all that well, perhaps from stress and worries. Shannon also messed up my week! LOL Last week he said he had Wednesday and Thursday off, and it turns out he has Tuesday and Wednesday off instead! ARGH! At least I have my training for work on Wednesday! I don't want to schedule anything when I am home alone with my son, there are no guarantees that he won't need me for something. With that, I plan according to my husband's ever-changing schedule.

Anyway, something good may come to us! I have a feeling that it could be fate and perfect timing. Shannon and I have been looking for other jobs for him for the last few months. A few weeks ago, Shannon's Human Resources manager sent his resume to a "sister property" that was hiring for a manager position. That HR manager called Shannon asking if he was interested, etc. Shannon never called her back because it was for an "assistant" position and this property was in another state. So, a few weeks went by and Shannon gets an email from his HR manager, it was an email from the other HR manager asking if he was still interested! As Shannon is telling me this, I asked him why is he reconisidering this position. He said that he thinks it's odd that she's still looking to hire for this position after a few weeks went by. So he emailed her back last night. Of course, I am excited about all of this. But we also have to consider if they will pay for relocation. If not, we won't even move. The position listed on the website is for an "assistant manager" so we're not sure what that means. Shannon will have to clarify that with the HR lady. Hopefully he can set up a phone interview with her! This position is in Arkansas in a little city, he said it was a "blip" on the map. Shannon looked it up on google earth and he said it's near a big lake.

After he told me all this, I couldn't sleep so I stayed up til about 1:30 AM. LOL I ended up finishing up watching The Bachelor and Jon & Kate Plus 8.

Catching Up

The lack of sleep is catching up with me. I am ready to go to sleep and not wake up until tomorrow! But I can't, I have a 3 year old. LOL

It's been busy all day at work. I am going to train on a second platform on Wednesday. I chose either Wednesday or Thursday since that is Shannon's days off. I need to make sure Kyle won't interupt me while training. Once I finish that, I will be able to work 2 platforms at once. Hopefully make more money!

I am still looking for other texting jobs. I saw another company is hiring operators, so I sent an email out. I heard it's a really good company to work for, BUT it's really hard to get in. So, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Shannon is planning on getting the car fixed on one of his days off, which one, I couldn't tell you. Knowing him, he'll wait til Thursday night. Another inconvenience is that we have a car care center not too far from our house, he could easily WALK home, but there are NO SIDEWALKS and NO PEDESTRIAN stop lights! So he's thinking of walking over to Walmart which is on the same side of this place and not too far away.

Sleepy Giggles

I wasn't able to sleep that well, I ended up waking up when Shannon got home. I got up to talk with him for a bit and after that, I tried going back to sleep but wasn't able to. I ended up staying up for a few more hours.

When we both went to bed around 3:30am, Kyle suddenly started giggling in his sleep! It made us both laugh. He must have been dreaming!

I couldn't sleep because I am just stressed over everything. I wrote down our earnings versus what we are spending. This has also encouraged me even more to work more! I also asked Shannon if we should look at moving into a 2 bedroom apartment (instead of our 3 bedroom that we have). He said he was thinking about that too. I just checked around and found a community that I like. They even have some "paid utilities with rent." Unlike our current community, this place pays for water and sewer! So I sent them a request for more info on their current prices and availability!
