On the job hunt once again. No more BAD kids!

So I got a message from the kids I was babysitting's mom. She said, "heard my boy was rotten today, do you still want to watch them?" The babysitting fiasco was only the tip of the iceberg that day. So many bigger more important things happened later so I was over the top stressed out. Before I had got this stressed, but after the kids left, I had already decided I was going to look for another job, a real job. My plan was to deal with my house getting destroyed, and ripping out my hair, till I could find something else, then tell them too bad so sad. Rude, I know but they could have always gone back to their old babysitters house. When she asked me if I still wanted to do this, I said, "well I do have the rest of the week to calm down so we will see how next week goes. If I decide I don't want to do it anymore, I will still watch them till you can find someone." She then told me that her sister is watching them from now on till she can find a new sitter. Yes, Im happy I don't have them anymore, but now I've wasted 3 WEEKS of my time, taking care of them when I could have got a real job that doesn't involve my house getting destroyed and I could get more than $35 a Day. With all the time I had them, I only made $150. Three weeks of my time for that! I tried to tell her at least 5 other people told me I should be getting the amount she was paying me for all 3 kids, just for one for a day. She basically told me I was full of shit yet she cant kind a sitter why? Hmm... I wonder.

Oh well. Im handing out resumes monday and had a friend who is seeing about getting me a job where she works at a dog grooming place. I haven't had much luck with the jobs from friends or acquaintances rather but we will see. Its something right.

Every time I turn around.

Im not sure if I like having kids I cant discipline since they aren't mine. This morning the 3 year old boy who is not potty trained, decided to refuse getting his diaper changed. In doing so, my couch got super peed on. Mad already, I take him upstairs to put him on the potty. He was on the potty while I cleaned the couch. I went up there to check on him and there is a LOG on the floor. He pooped and peed on the floor. I made HIM clean it up, but he kept throwing the tp in the potty before it was finished so there was a huge wad in there. I was going to hold half of it with the scrubber and flush then flush the rest so it didn't plug it. He decided to flush it even knowing I told him not to. Toilet CLOGGED. While I went to check on his sleeping sister, he DID pee in the toilet which I praised and rewarded him for. Well the first flush flooded my bathroom so now I have no towels to have a shower. I sent him downstairs while I finished cleaning. He did, and he emptied his sisters bottle on her and the dog. Now I have a sticky dog and sicky kid that cant bath and a wet bathroom. We borrowed the neighbours plunger and the situation is fiiiiiinally covered. Im glad I have the week off to re-coup.

Barking up the baby tree.

So it looks like the husband isn't going over seas. (look like because he would have had gotten his green passport papers and have them handed in next week and he hasn't even got them) I've been seriously thinking about this for the past week and finally decided to ask hubby about this being the last month on bc. He said no after thinking about it for a few minutes. When I asked why he said when I can get the jeep you can have a baby. When I asked later the answer was "......(head shake) then he said, "I want the jeep" and I want a baby so there. He also wanted a laptop which he got in July and said he wasn't going to get till october. He gets everything he wants even when I say no, yet I would be in big trouble if I did for anything I want let alone a baby. I dont even want to do all the temperature checks people do, and eat crazy food that apparently makes it easier to conceive, I just want to go off bc. Thats my rant for the afternoon.

LIER AT THE DEALERSHIP!

So Saturday, we decided to buy the 2010 Toyota Tundra crew cab. (the big one) Chris, from the dealership said the banks were a GO but they would require a co-signer but toyota was ok with doing it. Said it was good to be picked up today. I went in this morning to give some I.D. and stuff, and make sure we didnt need a cosigner. He reasured me it was all good. So I spent the whole day, finding the cheapest insurance. Let me tell ya, it varies by a couple hundred bucks so it pays to shop around. So I found a good deal, switched my tenant insurance with them, got the insurance and went to pick up our truck. 3 TRIPS IN TO PEMBROKE, this day cost me, but for the truck we had searched for and found the perfect one....it was worth it.

Go to get the truck, sit down, he said on well so-and-so will show you a couple different ones you can get. No we said this very blue one in the showroom, thats what you said. Well no what we can do is you can LEASE this 2 seater. I CRIED! I spent so much time, figuring all our stuff out, getting insurance, the whole nine yards, and he said I can get something I have no interest in getting? No the first day shopping we knew what we wanted, it was just a matter of when. Now, not only can we not buy it, but we can only lease it? NO THANK YOU. Apparently our credit is great but because we haven't been loaned any huge amount of money, we can get anything more expensive than $20,000. We have a $20,000 car, we need bigger.

They spent 2 hours trying to sell us other vehicles when we kept saying no, we just want our deposit back. They were real quick to take the money, took 30 minutes to get a refund. The sales guy Steve, was great, the guy who made us think we were getting what we asked for.... NOT. Thanks for nothing Chris!

Can anyone say STRESSED????

Alright, so, we are trying to get a truck, a $40, 000 truck at that. Got it! Now trying to get insurance to pick it up. License place is on strike in all of ontario so I have to convince these people to give us insurance on BC licenses. Oh did I mention that apparently one person cant have insurance from 2 vehicles in their name? Well ya cant and since Dan only has his "G2" insurance is more expensive. Got quoted $360, $190, and $390!!! The $390 would be from the same place we have our renters insurance and it would still be that high. So now Im attempting to switch my renters insurance over to this place that I could get insurance for $190. Did I also mention that we have to get a written letter of our driving record from B.C. before we get insurance? I told them our situation and hopefully they are still willing to compromise. On top of that, we arent goign to have much disposable income for food and gas for our 2 vehicles. AAND I got Dans Cell phone bill, $400!!!! Apparently its $200 just to add an option that should have already been connected. Im quite mad about that! Hopefully this will all iron out smoothly, smoother than my dress this morning. Im walking around partially wrinkly, deal with it.

School failure, job success!

So I went to see about getting school paid for my EI. They said they couldn't because the course is longer than a year, and it would be a "career change". I asked what my career is since I've just worked at odd things like a grocery store, a furniture store, and a trucking company.... yeah. Apparently, my career is cashier. So if I wanted to expand my cashier skills, that would be fine. Pffft. Way to keep me on EI government! Cashier, is a job, not a career, Im going to be right back where I am now if I stay in the cashier business, thanks! So anyway, I go home, ready to start printing out some resumes, and I get a call from a girl I almost babysat before. He last sitter wasn't working out so she asked if I was still interested. YEAH I AM! So today I have 2/3 kids for a few hours and I start full time September 2nd! Hopefully its enough money. Im thinking about working at the gas station afterwards if it isn't enough, as we are looking to get a truck. I think We'll wait on the truck, maybe a year or so, that way we can save a good amount first.
