SELLING OUT: PART TWO
Weel, not so bad as I thought it would be, or could have been. I got a call this morning on one of the jobs I applied for at the High School. I got the job. Finally. Not the one that I would really like to have got but, a job none the less. The pay is less but, so are the hours and days. I will have the days off that the kids do and unfortunately, the summer. I will cross that bridge when we get closer to it. The other job I applied for would have been during the summer and just some of the vacation days the kids have. It also would have been at least two dollars more an hour. Now I can just listen to Angus that I don’t make enough LOL.
The only sell out in this job is that Angus has to get Zoe and Aidan off to school in the morning, as I will have to leave a hour and a half before they do. My family is a routine run household. And when anyone’s routine is disrupted, all hell brakes loose. EspeciallyAngus and Aidan’s. And those are the two that will be disrupted. This should be fun until everyone is used to their new routine! Sophia will be in her glory when she finds out later today. No more bus to and from school. Mom will be her new chauffeur, again.
We have had a small half pre-view of how things will go while the car was being fixed (I will bitch about that in a bit). Angus has had to bring Aidan to school every morning. Only a couple of heated rushed moment. But I was there to smooth them over. I have to admit Angus did do his best to make the send off as non-stressful as possible. I also know he did it for my benefit because he knows how stressed and worried I have been about how this is going to affect Aidan’s day at school. They always butt heads in the morning if one gets into the others space in the morning lol.
OK well now the bitch about the car. $550 but, I have a working car and, it has heat. I will never buy a Cadillac again. It would have cost half that if I had a less expensive make! I really shouldn’t complain because the bugger has never given me a problem in the few years I have had it. Well just one when the computer shut down and nothing, even the locks would work. We have never been able to find out what that was all about and it has never (knocking on wood) happened again. But for pet’s sake did it have to happen four weeks before Christmas?
Once again it will be a pitiful stressful holiday. All gift buying has come to a halt. Just when I thought I was ahead of the game. Yeah, that should teach me. Next year remind me not to even think about buying a single thing until at least a few days before Christmas! I will gladly take the last minute rush of trying to find everything on their lists if it will take this jinx we seem to have that bad things happen in the late fall, early winter months!
