The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly from The Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It is Super Bowl Sunday. I look forward to this day every year. As long as I can remember, I have always watched the super bowl and I am keeping the tradition alive with my daughters. It is also the one day a year where I allow them to yell at me because they all the time choose the opposing team. So I am pulling for the Kansas City Chiefs and my girls are going for the 49ers.But other than the super bowl, we have another event next weekend that we are looking forward too.
My county library has a program where volunteers gather together and do fun things for the community like book sales, garden dates, dances. Next weekend they are hosting a father daughter dance and I bought the tickets for my hubby and three daughters. It was a 115.00 dollars well spent. We have also spent a little over 100 for new dresses and shoes. I can't wait to share pictures in next weeks sunday post.
Speaking of next weeks post, I am hoping to get back into the weekly Sunday Post routine. Life has changed once again but I feel that it is good. I am no longer babysitting because the mom just started taking advantage of everything and not wanting to pay me what I was owed and just started to make excuses for everything. I just called it off because this is the third stint for babysitting her kids and it just kept getting progressively worse and she would constantly want to give me less and less and want me to watch them longer and longer. It got to the point where I was getting them at 4 in the morning to put them on the bus at 630 and then getting them off the bus at 230 and keeping them until 6 in the afternoon and then she just kept trying to stir up trouble and gossip about her ex and his wife.
I cut ties 2 weeks ago and it was stressful but honestly it was not worth the money she was offering which was less than 100 a week at this point. Since then, I have felt more relaxed and my kids have seen a notable change in myself and my hubby. I am finally getting back into a routine and feeling more productive.
I have finished three books so far this month which were started in January.
I am in the middle of two and I am wanting to start another that I wanted to get to last month. I am in a reading mood.







You were right to end that babysitting job. The hours and low pay were ridiculous. I love that your library is so involved in the community.
ReplyDeleteThe Rose Code is probably my favorite from her with The Huntress!
ReplyDeleteWell done you for doing what makes you happy. That babysitting job sounded a bit miserable. It looks like you have some exciting things in the pipeline.
ReplyDeleteA good mix of books there.
Have a good weekend

That babysitting was not enough compensation. I think you definitely made the best decision for you and your family. Enjoy your Super Bowl Day!

Yikes! Sounds like that mom only had her kids while they were asleep! Definitely not enough compensation for that.
ReplyDeleteI love all the fun stuff your library does for the community!
