Wow!

2 comments!!!! Woo-hoo! I didn't think anyone actually read my blog. Now that I know I have 2 readers...I'll try to post more often.

I'm still a little confused about the school thing. I talked to an old friend today who worked for another online university and she told me that I should just go for a bachelor's right away instead of going for the associates. I'm a little confused as to what to do. Originally my advisor suggested that I go for the Assoc. so that I could get a job quicker and then have the company that hires me pay for the completion of my bachelors. My friend (Kimmy) thinks that an associates isn't worth crap anymore and a company won't hire me for a good salary if I don't have a bachelors. Plus, she says that getting my associates first will slow me down. It'll take a year and a half to get an assoc. She says I could have my bachelors in 2 and a half to 3 if I go for it right off the bat and it could take up to 5 if I get the associates first.....( are you following??? LOL) So, now I've got some thinking to do. I'll talk it over with Johnny first to get his imput.

I went to the dollar store today and I am amazed at how far they've come. I used to go there when I was in grade school to get cheap makeup and whatnot. I haven't been to one in a while and there is one right around the corner from my house. I got a new rug for the kitchen for 2 bucks. I got Chey some Nick Jr. videos for 2 bucks a piece. And, I got some coloring books for her for 4 for a buck. Wow. Since money has been so tight around here it's been a while since I've been shopping. I figured I'd treat myself to a few things and only spent 6 bucks. I felt guilty at first but then I thought "Hey, I quit smoking and a pack of smokes is 6 bucks......" So, the guilt went away....LOL.

I have a full day of house cleaning ahead of me. I hate to admit this but my kitchen actually stinks. Ugh, it's so gross. There are no dishes in the sink or food anywhere so I'm going on a "find that smell" hunt today. I'm guessing it's the garbage but I just took it out on Wed. so I'm not sure what could be in there that would be causing such an odor. It's not the fridge. The only other thing I'm thinking it could be is the disposal. It broke about 3 weeks ago when there was food in there to be "processed" I dug everything out by hand but my mom says there could be crap way deep in that I didn't get. So, if I clean everything out today and the kitchen is still stinky; I'll guess it's the disposal...which can't be fixed for a while given our situation right now. Maybe some drain-o will do the trick? Who knows.

Does anyone want 2 dogs? I'm so tired of our pets. I've got dog hair showing up in places I've never dreamed of. While at the dollar store today I found a nice wad of dog hair in my purse. What the hell? In my purse? It's gross. Their hair gets everywhere. They are annoying. I am regretting having pets. They are major PITA's.......ugh....

Well, that concludes my update for the day. Stay tuned for more "Mom's spot" updates coming soon!!!!!
