More about work and school

Well I finished my last set of classes, I passed them both, one not so great, I got a D, the other I got a B. But with UoP, University of Phoenix, you only need a D to pass classes. Now I am taking my last class to get my Associates in Human Services Management. I do not know how I am going to do this, I get home from work and all I wanna do is sit on the couch and veg, then when I go to bed getting my computer out seems like way to much work, so I just lay in bed and read then I pass out. If I don't go to work until later in the day I basically do the same thing, I veg until it is time to get up and get ready for work. Like today. I don't have to be to work until 1pm, and I don't get off until 10pm. I need to get up and get in the shower and I really should work on discussion questions because I'm already failing this class.
Work is going great though. I am exhausted all the time, but I really like all the people I work with. There are a lot of different age groups that I work with anywhere from really old to under 18. I am a cashier and for once I am not the youngest one there. At the other Wal-Mart I worked at I was the youngest, now there are kids that are as young as 16 working up there. I have met one or two that are kind of rude, but I think it is just in some people's nature to be rude, and they do not know how to fix it, or care to. But for the most part there are a lot of awesome people up there. I like most of the CSM's, my favorite is leaving, today is her last day, she lives far away, a 2 hour round trip, and with gas prices she just can't afford to work anymore.
Oh that reminds me!!! Gas prices are crazy! It took $60 to fill up the tank in the van, and it wasn't even all the way empty, we go to Wal-Mart and get gift cards with $200 a month and hopefully that will last us the month for gas. If we do that then it makes the gas 3cents off at the gas station at Wal-Mart. It's not a lot of money off but when gas prices are at $3.84 all over town and $3.78 at Wal-Mart then an extra 3cents off it really makes a difference. I swear that right now that is where Wal-Mart is making all of their money. 
Well I think that's enough talk about money and poor me stuff. Here have a cute pic of Elliott, since Kendra isn't posting lately I'll post cute pics of her, and one of Elias while I'm at it.


And here are some of Gabe.


Ok well now I'm done.

Work and School

Well I now have a job. I work at Wal~Mart again. I put in the application online on Sunday, on Monday I got a call asking if I could come in on Tuesday for an interview. I was there at 9:30 for my 10:00 interview, I didn't get called back for it until 10:25, by 10:39 I was done with my first interview and waiting for my second, I got all 3 interviews done and over with by 11. I went and did the drug test and they said if that and the back ground check all came back clear then there was an orientation on Thursday. I got a call yesterday and they asked if I could make it to the orientation today from 9am to 4pm. I of course said yes, and I started my first day of work today. I was freaking out this morning. I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink, all I wanted to do was go back to bed and hide, but I didn't, I took deep breaths and I made it through.
I know that tomorrow will be better, for me anyway, for school maybe not as much.
I am in week 8 of a 9 week, the second to last course that I am taking, and I just started working. I think I'm screwed for school. I hope that I can work on my homework and keep up with it. I'm afraid I will be to tired to work on it when I get home from work.
Gabe seemed very cranky and clingy when I got home today. He threw a fit when he was told to get pajamas on, he never throws fits, it was crazy.
Well that's about all I have to say today. Here are some cute pics of Gabe to make everyone smile.
