well tomorrow is my last day at work, tonight it was not too busy, i did okay, but i would have rathered been a bit busier, i didn't make as much money as i wanted to, but hey some money is better than none.  I hope to do better tomorrow on my last day, I really need the money, I still haven't talked to the manager about working just fill in, who knows but then again i might just need to get a total break from there, but who knows it will all work out the way it is supposed to.  My economic stimiulus check in nearly all spent, it is going towards all the bills we will have and not be able to cover between quitting the waitress job and getting paid from the babysitting job.  Oh well it was free money and i am putting it towards the bills i just wished i could of had fun with it, but that's not in the plans right now.  We are having to make a lot of changes, we are living what I call "thrifty"  we cut corners when we can, i shop with coupons, we leave lights off, we don't really eat out anymore, we buy off brands and not name brand things, we don't drive if we don't have to.  Yea, we could cut more costs, the cable bill is one, but with us going to be home over 50 hrs a week with 5 children this summer, cable almost seems as must.  Well hubby thinks it's a must anyways. 

well yesterday I asked hubby to give the kids a bath and then pick up the bathroom, he did both and then also cleaned the bathroom too, i was very nice to have something done.  i thanked him and told him how much i appreciated his help.. I want to make sure to reinforce that good behavior. 

I went to the laundry mat today and washed my work clothes and a few other items.  i am really getting sick of the laundry mat though, it just seems that quite a few of my clothes don't get clean from the washers there.  It's frustrating, but there isn't a lot I can do about it except make my load smaller and use more soap and pre-treater.    Anyone found a pre-treater that works really really well I have used Shout, and i am not liking it too well, i am up for any suggestions. 

my sister in law has some nerve, get this, my last day is tomorrow and since she screwed me a couple of weeks ago on a sunday when she called off and didn't cover my shift, well she got in trouble and isn't allowed to have anyone cover her shift or pick up any shifts for 30 days, well she called me tonight and asked me to work for her on sunday so she can lie to her live in boyfriend (or roommate as she calls him) and tell him that we are watching the kids and she is going to work while the truth is she wants to go clear across town to a festival to hang out with her friends that she used to work with, all while she takes her kids with her, she just doesn't want him to go with her.  I told her no I already have plans for sunday, and then I am going to spend time with my kids.  Just her nerve to ask me to lie for her and then work on my first sunday off since i started working there....that sis in law for you though I really shouldn't be surprised.

I have another class tomorrow, this class is on computer documentation for patient care reports.  right now we do paper versions of the patient care reports and now we have a computer to do them for us,we have to enter the data, but then it's a lot easier that way there is no issue with handwriting legibiliy, or spelling issues.  It's a 2 hr class to learn how to do it.  I really am looking forward to it.  Hubby is going to the in laws while i am in class... heaven knows he can't stay home and clean, heck i think he thinks that housework will injure him or something.... Oh speaking of that I found the perfect sign for my bathroom it says "Changing the tiolet paper roll will not cause brain damage"  I laughed so hard when i saw it.  I think i need one.....  well it's late and i need to get to bed.
