Nothings Broken

Today was the boys first day of 1st grade. He was so excited Sunday night. He had so much fun getting his backpack ready for school. I still am in shock at the fact that I have a 1st grader!!

He woke up extra early on Monday just in time to be ready. He was up by 6:00 am and he didn’t start school until 8:38 am. We had to park about a block away from the school there was no parking nearby, I really hate school traffic. I stood in line with him until it was time to go into the classroom. His teacher had come around greeting the kids and meeting the parents while we waited. The boy started getting a little anxious about the whole situation, it finally hit him that he would be there all day and I was not able to stay with him. I was taking so many pictures of him, I think that he started to get annoyed after awhile. I managed to get some good ones despite his protest.

I got to meet a couple of his friends from his kindergarten class that he would be in class this year, they all wanted to pose for pictures. So freaking cute!, they all stood around and talked about their new backpacks and shoes. One of the little boys was already invited kids over to his house, lol poor mom.

I have been a busy bee these past couple of weeks. My enrollment to get my BSIT is finally official. I start July 1st. W00t. By the time I am done I will have the following certifications:

• Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA®)
• Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) Security Certification
• CIW Professional
• CIW Associates
• CIW Database Design Specialist
• CompTIA A+ (2009 Objectives)
• CompTIA Project+ (2009 Objectives)
• CompTIA Security+ (2008 Objectives), Configuration 70-680

Can you tell that I am super excited?, I already started to read books from my courses .

Aside from that I am launching a new project. It’s a secret right now. I am still working on the concept. I need to do some revisions to the name. I am open to suggestions. It’s a fashion type shop. I should be done in about 2 weeks. I will need promotion help so I might some sort of contest.

I am making some enchiladas as I type. I am boiling the chicken and realized that I have no cheese, ahh. I am sending the guy to the store to pick some up for me. I am going to go look for a yummy dinner recipe for tomorrow.

Today is my first try at being a SAHM. Wow, its 9:26 and I am bored already. I have TONS of things to do, but I have not finished my coffee. I am also waiting until 10 to be able to download the new expansion pack for The Sims, LMAO how lame is that? Is it totally lame that I am mad at EA? I paid for my crap and I cant do anything, no pending order or anything. very crappy customer service if you ask me.

I have to do laundry and cook lunch for when the boy comes home from school. All the things I never have the time to do.

Wow I don’t even own an ironing board.  We just throw everything in the dryer to “iron” it. Is that working mother syndrome or just plain lazy?

I am needing to make the decision of a lifetime. I need to find someone (me or my husband) to watch my kids. My mother quit unexpectedly and I am now stuck. I have to spend 95% of my monthly salary to pay for child care. I would be losing more money going to work then staying home.

The thing that makes it easier for me to quit is that fact that my position was already cut in half. A technicality that would allow me to quit and claim unemployment. They are cutting about 800 positions, and mine was one of them. They are also looking to have us furlough in the near future. I wonder who would be first in line for that?!

So basically I would be working less hours and still paying for childcare. It just does not make sense. I will start going to school to get my BSIT as soon as I leave work. I would actually be productive as opposed to wasting time and money to stay at the same job.
