Day Two

Day Two.

I liken this staying home thing to being at home caring for a newborn. You have these grandiose plans to oh, clean windows (again), or walk the dog, or bake cookies, or....look for a job.

The grand plans for today fell by the wayside, and what makes it worse? I'm running on a full nights sleep and I don't have a newborn, so I really have no excuses.

I spent an hour on the phone setting up my on-line brokerage account, (got a stock tip from smart brother and I'm going for it...), blasted an e-mail to relatives about the 3rd Annual Barten Thanksgiving Day walk, (Noreen is bringing the mimosa's....) and BAM, there it was, 4 pm already.

OH, and I voted. God in heaven, whoever our new leader is, let him lead us out of this mess and lead us out of war and lead me into a new job soon, Amen!

I DID manage to get an on-line application and resume sent off to KleinBank, located in Chaska (yeah, very close to home!) for a Branch Administrative Manager. Me run a bank? Why not. I'm quite sure it would involve being more productive than I was today however...

I shouldn't say I was completely worthless...in addition to the bank thing, I set up my Monster.com so now I can get another slew of jobs that I'm not interested in sent to me each day. But ya know what? Even if it's a job I wouldn't give to the dog, (all she knows how to do is eat and barf...) just seeing that there are actually companies hiring is kind of motivating to me, even if most of the jobs are for "Seasonal Employees needed at Radio Shack"!...

Oh, but here is worthless for you...Worthless is making Leah sit on the toilet to go potty. She is flat out refusing. Her stubbornness reminds me of Da.....uh, never mind. We made her sit for almost a half hour. I caved, she won, story of my life.

I have a plan for tomorrow, it includes being a little more productive than today, and then the next a little more than the day before. I do not plan however, that Leah will pee on the potty.

It is after all, only the end of Day Two. And I'm still loving grinding the beans....
