Back For More?

So you are back for more, huh?!!  Well then I need to congratulate myself because I must have done something right on my first blog.  Anyway, I'm glad I have your attention at least for a few minutes.  I promise I'll give it all to you straight for doing this for me.  You know, I thought real hard about what topic to write about and I was overwhelmed because I have soooo much to share with you.  But, then I thought again.  I don't want to overload you already so I'll keep it simple.  I'll share a little more about me and this way, I kind of ease the way into my crazy stories.  So let's begin...

As I mentioned on my first blog (or maybe I didn't...get used to me forgetting btw), I am no longer working for the company I used to work for.  Let me say that this was heartbreaking for me and I was a bit bitter over it (as I'm sure all people that got laid off were).  This was my first time getting laid off...ever...from any job (and I've been working for ever or what seems like forever).  But yeah, first time not having a job.  I mean this is terrible, I'm a workaholic!! I worked through school, through pregnancy, through drama...and always did and outstanding job because I'm good like that.  But yeah, got laid off, just like that, just like so many.  As expected, me getting laid off was an ego disaster!!!  Here I was, this young, hot mom (as my kids see me) getting laid off from her dream job.  In my head, I'm thinking, someone like me doesnt get laid off (lol).  I didn't know what to do...it all seemed like a bad dream.  But nope, no dream, all real.  Went through my stages...you know, the "I'll pretend I'm on vacation" stage, then the "I'll take this time to better myself and take care of ME for a change" stage.   Slowly moved into the "Wow, I really dont have a job and I'm still in my pajamas" stage.  To the now, "Damn, it is hard to find another awesome job that pays good and crap!! I'm now digging into my savings" stage.  lol  Oh yes, I AM THERE!!! 

Overall though, I'm making the best of it.  Thank God that besides my good looks & charm (hey, I have to keep my self-esteem up, I dont wait on someone else to do it), I also have a brain.  I've managed to keep a roof over our heads, the power on, food on the table, cable on (w/now only 2 premium channels & 1 DVR though), internet on, cell phones on, pool svc (though I owe like 3 months now), etc ...all the essentials.  Yeah, I said it...all the essentials.  The ones that pretty much give you the right to live in the OC.  Yeah, harsh, but I wouldn't think of living anywhere else.

Anyway, I think this is all I'm going to share with you today.  I think its more than what your were expecting, huh?! Well, thanks for letting me share my stress with you and for reading this blog till the end.  Don't worry, they get better, funnier and quite a bit crazy.  But like I said, I want to ease you into it.  Plus, I have to get comfortable with you....after all, we just met!!!  ;)
