i got a job

so anway life has been a little rough lately. i have been super stressed out about money because my hubby hasn't seen a commission check since january. i had been thinking that i should go and get a job because i felt helpless not working and helping my wubby out. i couldn't get one a little while ago because i had surgery and knew i couldn't work for a while. so i waited hoping he would get a commission check and i wouldnt' have to worry about it. he is due a commission check but they don't pay him until every last drop has been collected. its really quite frustrating. so once i felt recovered enough from my surgery i decided to start looking for a job. i was so desperate i even called dad to see if i could do in home supportive services for him. anyway he didn't qualify so i kept looking. my main concern was child care. its just soooo damned expensive and i didn't want to have to pay for it. so i found this job for library assistant at one of the grade schools here. i applied and took the typing test. i am still waiting to hear back from them LOL. so while i was stressing out i was watching these beautiful pair of eagles nesting in real time. they kept me sane LOL. i was so stressed out and depressed because of money, stupid money, that i would sit at my desk and just cry. I HATE MONEY, HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT.

anyway these eagles were just awesome to watch and i took pics of them LOL. yes pics of them on my computer screen. so here are some of the pics that i took.

anyway the pics above were so cute to watch. the mom was laying on the eggs and the dad flew in but she wouldn't move so he actually nudged her out of the way so that he could take over. it was so cute to watch.

this is when the whole world thought that the remaining egg was hatching. you can see the piece of shell that is popped up on the end. but sadly the baby never made it completely out of the shell. i cried when the little guy didn't make it. but i wouldn't have traded watching these magnificent birds for anything. here are a few more shots of them nesting.

I also learned some pretty cool facts about eagles LOL. For instance, did you know that their nests can be between 5ft and 9ft across and weigh as much as 4000 pounds or more. they also use the same nest every year, adding to it each year.

okay so back to my job searching. one day (thursday the 4th of may) i was feeling really down and hopeless because nothing i was doing was working out. so i gave up for the day and was watching my eagles and letting frustrations go when i got a call from a lady needing work. i couldn't believe it LOL just when i thought things were the worst they could get i got the perfect job. i now care for the 87yr old lady who is just a hoot to be around, and i can bring my kids. its only 3.5 hrs a day too. okay so its not the best paying job but it works for me LOL. so now i have been working for her since the fourth and am quite tired. i'm just having to get used to it LOL. especially since it hasn't been all that long since my surgery. i don't feel so stressed out now because i feel like i'm doing something instead of just sitting on my ass not coming up with solutions to my problems. i guess you could say i'm a doer LOL.
