A Day At The Park
Posted on October 9th, 2008 @ 1:52 pm

Yesterday Crystal called me and asked if I would walk up to the clinic with her to get her prescription. It was a nice day and the day before had been so nasty and rainy, so I said yes. We got the kids ready and headed up town. When we got to the clinic she discovered that her prescription cost $10 more than she thought, so we just decided to go to the park which is located behind the clinic.

The kids LOVED it. Gabriel and Serena were content in the baby swings for the first 30 minutes or so. Mariah wanted to help push, so that kept her busy as well. Then we went to the slides for awhile. Gabriel went down a couple with me, then I took Serena down some. Mariah went down all of them about a million times. After awhile, the younger ones started getting cranky so we came back home and they went down for a nap.

Other than that, I haven’t been up to much. I had an interview at Best Buy the other day for a customer service position. Hopefully it went well… I think it did. Better than my EZ Money interview anyway! Last week a lady called me and asked if I could come in that night for an interview. I said I wasn’t sure if I could make it that night because my husband had the car and I couldn’t be sure when he would be home. She said, “Well, I’ll schedule it for 6:30 and if you can be in around that time, it’ll be fine.” So I agreed and ended up making it there at 6:38pm. 8 minutes late after I WARNED her that might happen. Well, what does she do? She tells me that they have a POLICY that if you’re late at ALL for an interview, its canceled. I told her that I TOLD her on the phone I might be late. Her response? “That’s not my problem.” Excuse me?! I was so freakin’ mad. I’m STILL mad. I told her I wasn’t too worried about working there after that and walked out.

I’m currently waiting for my Vonage router to arrive in the mail. I signed up when they had a deal going, so I ended up only paying the S/H for the router. The first month was free, the router was free and some other fees were knocked off, too. I can’t wait to try it. It makes more sense then the phone service we currently have (about $40 bucks a month AND we don’t have unlimited long distance. we have to pay for it). $25 dollars a month for unlimited long distance? Sounds good to me! The only suck is that Vonage didn’t have our town prefix available so I had to get one that will be long distance to our family and friends. However, all of them have unlimited long distance so that won’t be a problem.

Some photos from the park:

Gabriel swinging. He kept putting his foot like that. He’s so weird.


Serena swinging. So cute!

Today was full of the same BS as yesterday. Get it together, Comcast.

Too weary to go into it all again, but like I said, its the exact same as yesterday which I blogged about.

I’m mainly pissed because I hate working every weekend. I know I signed up for this shift and knew that I would work weekends, but I didn’t know I’d have to wait until the end of July before I could start asking for days off or swap shifts. I’ve been having to miss birthday parties and other family get-togethers. :(

I think it just sucks so much because I’m not used to it yet. I mean, jeez. My husband spoiled me and let me be an at-home mom for the past two years. :heart:

PS: Is it offensive to buy someone acne treatment for a gift? My sister-in-law has horrible acne and she’s tried everything. I was wondering about Proactiv but she can’t afford it right now. I just don’t want her to feel bad because of a gift, ya know?

How would you guys feel?
