wickedcherubThe whole point of these posts for me, is to see a positive side to life, so we'll see how we go because I feel SUPER stressed today
- I worked at the Foxtel call centre about 6 years ago, along with a lot of UK backpackers, and was surprised to hear that one of them is back in Australia for a holiday in the next suburb over from my house! It'll be so good to see him.
- Adam has decided he wants to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce. I'm all for this, I think it'll be good, I looked into applying for him and it seems that the university will accept him and it seems fine. I'm so behind him doing something he wants to do, he's been miserable for so long. So I'm glad he's chosen something. This morning I thought deeply about the reality of it, and I'm pretty sure there's no way in hell he'll be able to carry a full time courseload (even off campus/online) while working full time (and you know, seeing his family) We'd decided he'd work part time, but then that leaves me having to find a job pronto, and I'm SO stressed about this because of the gap in my resume. I really feel like I'm going to have to get a job via networking, and I don't really know anyone right now.
Anyway, I looked into Adam's course, and our university offers 3 trimesters as opposed to the 2 regular semesters, which means that Adam could probably do a part time courseload over the course of the 12 months, instead of just full time over 8. That gives me more time to find a job. I'm SO relieved. I could also do a Cert IV (or a Diploma) in Business Administration in the meantime too, if I do find it impossible to find a job.
I'm also a bit stressed about us living on what is just the one income for so long, but I just have to remind myself that it is worth it to stop Adam from being so sad about life all the time, and well, it's my fault for dragging my feet about my own uni for so long.
- I guess I Felt sick about it all because Liam starts kindergarten (three year old) in three weeks and I feel like I'm running out of time to get my life together, but I think it will be okay. I mean, it's not the end of the world, we're looking at selling our house anyway, and if I can't find a new house, we'll move in with Adam's parents and save a lot of money that way. They have a giant empty nest!
- Adam's back at work today and it kinda sucks but it's kind of nice all the same, to get back into the routine of things. I'm determined to get the most out of it now that I'm going to find work.
- Adam's got a buck's day to go to this Saturday. I always hate it when he has things to do on the weekend, because it feels like I have to work another day, but Sally is going to come and visit me and I'm excited about that.
- I've heard nothing but positive things about today's Sherlock episode, so I'm tentatively excited again :D
- I've discovered that Liam likes the $1 Cheese, Bacon, Pineapple rolls at Woolworths *much more* than the $3.90 ones at Baker's Delight, plus that saves me walking across to the other side of the shopping centre to get them!
- While I'm typing this, Toby is feeding himself yoghurt, and Liam is putting away all the shopping in the pantry. I don't need to be here, really. :D
- I always wished Liam was more daring, turns out Toby is exactly that, and I spent time today climbing up indoor playgrounds to try and extract him when he climbs up too high and blocks all the other older kids from going anywhere. :D
- My SIL invited us around for dinner tonight, HURRAH FOR NOT COOKING
- eta: One Direction toothbrushes were marked down from $7 to $1 at the supermarket today. I BOUGHT FOUR.
