Day 42 ~ What Could A Tiny Reese's Cup Do To Me?!?!

Today, was my first official "day off", as I was contacted last night that the official job didn't start until Tuesday. So, I used today to run ALL of my errands for the week ahead.

Other than having to buy new sunglasses, because Mark decided to go all HULK on my other ones, I spent a majority of the day searching for the perfect daycare for Mark. While there is no such thing as the "perfect" daycare, I needed to find one that was "budget friendly" or as friendly as it could be, close to either home or my new job, flexible on pick up times (some daycare's are open til 7 pm, but a majority of them are open until 6:30 pm), check out their educational and dietary plans, etc. 

Day 40 & 41 ~ Clothes, Groceries & Meal Prep! Plus Some Exciting News!

Day 39 - Friday (additional)...

Friday evening, I received a phone call from a local employment agency informing me that I was completely qualified for a job only 15 minutes away from me. After years of being either over-qualified or under-qualified... I started crying. While it isn't my dream job, it is a foot in the work force and I can continue applying myself for my dream job. What blew me away is that I am perfectly qualified for a job in the medical field...a field I wasn't even aiming for. I saw an employment ad and applied for it, honestly believing I wasn't going to get it (like every other job) and I got it.

I wish I had a camera on me when I received the call, as I was in tears (without sounding like I was crying on the phone). While it is only a temporary to permanent position, this will open soooo many doors to the future. While the hours aren't great, I will be off on the weekend to spend quality time with little man. The pay is great, we (Mark and I) will be able to soon call ourselves debt free, as well as have some money in our savings.
