I Rock!

My house is so clean. And I'm getting more and more done evry day. I'm tryng to achieve perfection before I return to the working world. then it will be easier to maintain, right? ;-)

Plus, I am planning my first ever Thanksgiving as a wife. Whew, lots of work! but I am loving every minute of it and can't wait to spend it with my hubby and my parents and sissy. And now that I have called mom a couple of times to get her fabulous recipes and be sure I haven't forgotten anything, I think I'm just about ready. Yay!

New job! YAY!

I can honestly say none of the good in my life the past few weeks would have happened if not for my hubby. He was right there when I snapped and wanted to quit. He supported me completely, and when I started to have doubts, he held firm knowing I was unhappy at that job and made sure I stuck with the decision. He worked extra shifts and gave up his fun money in case we needed it for bills. (Of course, I had a little cushion in the account already, so we didn't need it anyway, which I am glad of, because he deserves his fun money for all the hard work he does.)

When I started looking at jobs, he insisted I look at the hospital. I was skeptical, but he logged me on to the site, and found the jobs I was qualified for. I gave in and applied. When we heard nothing back, he was the one who told me to call HR, just to ask if they had my application. And when I was too lazy or too scared to do it, he did it for me. Turn out, the system had locked out my application because the exact hours of the position I applied for had been cancelled off the site. But, they were still hiring, and scheduled an interview that day. What a wonderful man. He is certainly giving dad a run for his money as husband of the year (As mom states on her blog. ;-)

And at the end of the interview, when I thought she was getting ready to say they'll call me back, bladdy blah blah, she offered me the job on the spot, and started going over what hours and schedules were available. I am now a Full-Time Registrar with full benefits as of Dec. 1st (So we don't lose the $500 a month hubby makes by waiving his benefits) and I start training the 27th. And anytime a PT position becomes available, I can ask for a transfer.

And my house is clean, and I've been cooking and everything is just so swell! ;-)

Oy Vey

Firstly, I'd like to point out that noone bothered to post a comment to my blog, and to be honest, I feel abandoned. Ironic, given the title of my blog. Or, just ironic to me cuz it's 1am. Hubby is working his little heart out tonight (Yeah, right!) at his second job. Pays nice. And he's been putting every check from that extra job in a savings account we only use for Chrsitmas, or when we want to buy something, but feel too guilt about the purchase to put it on our own account. Like the other day, when he bought me two new shirts, nice ones so I'd have something to wear when I get a job at the hospital after I interview Monday. I have nothing to wear to the interview, but at least now I'll be well-dressed afterward. ;-) He also bought one shirt that cost the same as my two. I couldn't help but point out I was obviously the far superior shopper and so using the Christmas account was just a matter of covering for his purchase. ;-)

I have been getting TONS done around the house. It's so pretty, my mommy may not recognize it when she comes to visit. Stuff is clean!!! It's amazing how much dust and grime can build up in an apartment in a year and a half. and now that we've renewed the lease for the same, I wanted to spruce the place up a bit.

I'm also addicted to the library, where they have every manner of cookbook I could ask for. I also checked out Three boks about cleaning and organization. Sounds stupid, but it really helped to give me a focus about what to clean and when. The little details matter!

Anyway... Sleepy now. Nighty night.
