Monday thru Friday

Have you ever wanted something so bad, and then you get it. You wonder what you were thinking? I have a bitter sweet moment. I will now officially be working Monday - Friday. I wanted this so bad, thinking that it would be so nice to have the weekends with the kids, always able to go to church. Well....now I realized that it was nice having a day off during the week to have the peace and quiet that comes with 4 kids being in school. It was so nice to have John and I with no kids. NOW, we won't have that. Now, we will be home with the kids without the peace and quiet. Now, I can't surprise the kids with cookies when they come home from school. Now, I can't sleep in because it's so quiet. Now, when I need some intimate time alone with the hubs, it's not there!! Now, I will be able to do the "saturday" chores along with the rest of the family. Now, I will be able to know what is going on in the ward. Now, I won't be asked if I'm the new lady at church. I will be able to be there for every sunday! I will now be able to not request weekends off. I will now be able to have the consistency of a weekday job. I guess it's not so bad. Hey, at least I have a job!! I am in a unbalanced state right now. Happy vs not happy because of my work schedule.

Winter is coming.....

I find myself mourning the loss of summer. Fall just seemed to jump right in with the snow, so I want a big bag, comforting leather, nice straps, lots of pockets, and something I didn't buy at Kohls or Ross. Soooo....I found the PERFECT BAG!!

Now, I know that the economy sucks right now. I am fully aware that all my kids need snow boots, gloves, coats, and Christmas. If I just bought this bag, I wonder if it would be like Mary Poppins. Heck, if I'm going to spend...(insert drum roll) $450.00 on a bag it should, shouldn't it?? I wonder if John would notice my paycheck missing from the bank account. Since that is about how much it would take, a whole paycheck!!! I want this bag sooooo bad. It's me, screams Melissa Dunn I need you!! I'll just paste a picture of it here so I can look at it all the time :)
