Well, that was quite the coffee break I guess since its been days since I said I would be back on here! Life got hectic and busy as usual. Lets see...its Tuesday, so I guess I will start by telling you about the weekend!
Saturday was a bit of a rush. I got started later than I wanted to, and we had a ton of running around to do for the Halloween party we were going to that night. We went out to try and find myself a costume and possibly a new one for Brian. We eneded up finding a Raggety Ann for me, and Brian went as a redneck, lol, complete with redneck hat and mullet! Haha!! I had to get to the store too so I could get the ingredients for my crock pot mac and cheese and we finally got to Jesse's house at 5pm. The kids had a really good time, they had games for the kids, and treats and Christopher was excited to finally get to wear his costume. We got home around 9 and got the kids in bed and me and Brian passed out from exhaustion!
One really REALLY crappy thing is that I dropped and broke my camera at the party and considering we are dead broke and I take tons of pics of my kids, I am beside myself sad that I cannot afford a new one until God knows when (the one I want is 200.00, bleh!) and so I dont know when I will be posting more pics....and this close to the holidays too! ugh! I cried when I knew it was junk and I only got a few pictures and I cant explain how sad I am about it. :(
Sunday Brian took the kids to his grandparents house while I went and did the grocery shopping and cleaned up. We had a showing and I met a woman about possibly cleaning her house...but 2 1/2 hours into our meeting it became clear to me she was looking for a friend, not a maid. So its back to the drawing board for me. I had ads on craigslist for my cleaning services but after being solicited for sex 3 times (once at 3:30 am for 1,000.00 to sleep with some guys son) *a police report has been made* I have decided to take them down and try some other means of making money. I am so tired of being so broke and not being able to put any money on the table here. I have made the choice that when Laci turns 2 I am going to start looking for full time employment for a number of reasons, even though sadly, after a 40 hour week I will be lucky to bring home 75.00 after all it costs for me to actually got to work.
Today I am enjoying another really cold day. It has been told to me we even had snow flurries in N.Ga last night and it is icy cold and I have my fireplace on, my christmas music playing, and just took my second banana bread out of the over for the season so far! (hence the title) Laci is taking her nap and I am going to try and get the few pictures I have on the blog now.
Hope you all have a wonderful tuesday afternoon!

That sucks about your camera.
As far as work, make sure you ask yourself is $75 a week is worth not seeing your kid all day. I have/am in your same exact position. So right now I work part time. Luckly for me I make really good money where I am at so it make it worth it for me. I would love to go back to work full time, but I am going to have to wait until next school year when she is in pre-k. Just think about it before you make any decisons.
Good luck! :O)
