-We have a DVD player in our vehicle…supposedly for the kids when we road trip. However, during our last weekend excursion, my husband sat in the middle row and basically forced my 5 year-old son and 6 year-old nephew to watch Napoleon Dyna.mite for 4 hours (even though the movie isn’t that long, my hubby has a way of rewinding a scene every 10 minutes to recapture the moment:)Needless to say I had to pull rank on the ride back!
- On same road trip, my sister sits next to me…supposedly to keep me company while I drive. hmph…if you call talking on your cell phone for 3 hours straight, then going to sleep keeping me company. That really peed me off!
- My son asked me a few weeks ago “don’t you want to be dead so you won’t have to take care of no kids”?
-A question…What’s the largest pay cut you’d take in order to do something you really enjoy…or if the job was in your neighborhood…no more interstate commutes. I’m not looking for, “oh, to do something I love, I’d do it for free”! Seriously.
-Gross alert: My hubby teased my son by telling him he had a booger in his eye. My son asked me to look. I look…no booger. He then says, “oh, mommy nevermind, it was cold not a booger cause I tasted it and it don’t taste the same”.
-I need a VACATION…SOLO I am really worn down lately.
-A friend of mine went home to her big sister’s babyshower and to meet her fiance’. After a while she realized that she’d talked to and exchanged photos with the guy on match dot com. He acted like he didn’t notice and she was just flabergasted. I think she was more stunned that he “pretended” not to remember her. I keep trying to remind her that maybe her image isn’t forever etched in the brains of every man she encounters.
Hey Safa,
When I took my first job in the industry I currently work in, I took a $10,000 pay cut. I really wanted more scheduling flexibility than I had working as a pharmacist. I could only afford to do this because at the time I was half of a two income household and I knew I would make at least some if not all of the money back in bonuses. I believe that as long as you are making enough to ensure your family has the basic necessities, then you should go for it on the faith that in the long run you will end up better off. Best of luck to you
