Taking a second to vent..

Lately, I have been having a hard time dealing with my job all because well, I hate almost everything about it.  I hate the fact that it is probably one of the most unreliable jobs ever. Example this morning I wasted 40 mins of my day to drive to a client's house only to be told that she isn't able to work with me today and the parents of almost all of my clients lack the common decency  to call and tell me that there is a change in plans! It would be one thing if this happened once or twice in the almost 2 months that I have been doing PSR but of course that isn't the case. It happens almost weekly and sometimes more than once in a week!! People wonder why they have kids with problems, ever consider it could be because you are a crappy parent? Another thing is I am so sick of putting almost 200 miles on my car EVERY single week! But that is nothing compared to my biggest annoyance and that is not being trained and taught what I am suppose to do for certain aspects of the job and then having people in charge of me that can't grasp the fact of how hard it is to communicate with Spanish only speaking parents when I don't speak Spanish! This last Friday I found out that some paper work that I thought I had all month to do (the reason I thought this was because when I got a phone call telling me I had reviews to do it was said "You have some reveiws that need to be completedin the month of Februray") and the guy in charge that I was talking to was like oh well just call the family after telling him about 7 times that they don't have a working phone. To show how uch he wasn't paying attention to anything I was saying (because I know that he cannot be that dumb) he replied of well how do you usually get in contact with the family, can't you just call them up? Idiot. Why on earth would I every call them what when I say, Hola? and then start speaking English. Wow, what a great plan. SO end of story is I am out 5 hours a week and have to try to figure out how to get this paper work done. Sounds easy  enough minus the fact I don't speak Spanish, they don't have a working phone, the parents aren't home consistantly at the same time, if the parents are home I have no one to translate, I  DON'T get paid trying to do this paperworkand they live 20 mins away which means 40 mins of driving wasting my OWN gas!

Sorry this is such a boring post complaing about a job that I should just be grateful to have since so many people in this economy can't even find work. It just really frustrated me that I finish my 4 year degree to just get a job that I thoroughly hate! Hopefully when Adam graduates in April I can give the much over dued "peace out" to "work" ( I don't want to state the angency that I work for). Hopefully reminding myself and doing a mental count down of only 2 more months will get me through.

Valentine's Day

This year we celebrated Valentines day a little early. My sister Ashley volunteered to babysit for us to go out.  Early in the day we exchanged presents. I made Adam a candy card, got him a shirt and a card saying that he could buy the beanie of his choice.  He really liked his candy card and I think it turned out supper cute :) He made me this really cute coupon book and got me roses and candy.. the first coupon was for an hr long massage at a local spa in Rexburg.  It was funny though because the place is called Stressless so I just thought that Adam was trying to be cute and use a play on words and that he was going to give me an hour long massage so I replied, "love are you even sure your capable of giving me a massage for that long?" Ha and that is when he told me, "No its for an actual massage".  It seriously is the best idea for me because I am always whinning that I need a back massage and now I get to get a professional one!!

 A cute little family picture before we headed out on our date and left Connor with Auntie Ashy and Auntie Jessie.  We were planning on going out to Olive Garden but when we got there at 530 there was a 75 minute wait. No thank you.  We went to Chili's instead and we were the last couple to be seated (even got a booth table!) before there was a wait. Talk about luck.  We had a nice dinner just the two of us :) Afterward we went to the movies and watched the newest Narnia movie. It was really good! We had a great date night and it was nice being able to go out with just the two of us!!

I promise that I did not wear this hoodie out on our date. HA I did however change into as soon as we got home, nothing wrong with being comfy at home, right?

To sum it up we had a wonderful date, a wonderful "Valentines Day" and we are still very much and love and have a wonderful marriage. With a wonderful little boy. Life is close to perfect! (Of course it would be perfect if we knew what was happening in 2 months and if I didn't have a lame-o job).
