To busy for exercise today :( It has been some long days recently, a lot going on and stressful, so today I am skipping my exercise which I hate, but I have just ran out of time today....and for once I would like to get to bed before 12:00. My day started pretty well until I found out Marks hours were getting cut at work and then it just slowly fell apart from there. I have been an emotional wreck lately and mostly just worrying myself even though I know some way everything will work out. I can home today, luckily didn't have to cook dinner (left overs), but I did bake some comfort cookies :) I worked on my cleaning project for today which was dusting our bedroom and furniture and cleaning all the mirrors. In addition to making sure the kitchen is clean and my living room. You know I actually think I will like my little "honest effort" project. I will have to do some adjustments on the days and things I do, but once I get everything worked out I think will feel so much better about not spending the weekend cleaning. Today my house is so clean, and it just makes me feel so good to look around and see no mess anywhere!!!

Other than that, I had to do my sister's taxes today. Tomorrow I have to do Mom's and then I will start working on our taxes Wednesday. It's just one more thing to add to my day, but I enjoy it. I also spent some time searching and working on a few applications for part time jobs. Speaking of that....Mark doesn't want me to have to work another job. I know he doesn't want me to spend my whole weekends working, but I don't mind. I can see some benefits to working part time especially right now with the work situation. Trust me deep down I don't want to work all the time, but for some reason I just feel like I need to do a little extra. So as far as that situation goes I think I will see if I get any call backs and if so I will have to make a decision at that point in time. Speaking of...what is the deal with all these online applications? I do like the fact that you can fill them out from home and on your own time, but there are a few things I dislike. Today I had to answer 69 questions on an application. REALLY!?! These questions were so stupid (in my opinion) they were multiple choice and asked about ideal working conditions, adding and subtracting (what in the world) and other random stuff....such a waste of time! Then I noticed several of the applications I have completed ask for your social security number and drivers licence number for a background check. I am so sorry I probably wont get any call backs because I am not putting all that information on an application (especially online)!!!!!!!!!! Can we say that is just identity theft waiting to happen.... Then some of the applications asked for your age, sex, and race...I thought that was against the law???? Oh maybe it was ok since they said that those questions didn't have anything to do with the application process. If they don't then why do they ask them?

Geez this world is crazy! Who knew you had to give every detail about your life to get a part time job for minimum wage... Ummm, not me! So maybe I don't have to worry about the part time job....LOL I could understand giving them the information if they offered you a job, but not just to apply. If you want to hire me then you can do all the digging you want :) As for those 69 stupid questions, for starters anyone with common sense is going to put the answers they want to hear (duh) so that was pretty much pointless. So that's my rant for today...if you want to get a job I guess you should be prepared to sign over a arm or leg if asked!

Well that's it for today folks, hope everyone had a better Monday than me! I am grateful for the life I have even if sometimes I feel like nothing goes right. I am counting my blessing and praying for things to turn around for myself and everyone else who is facing the battles of this crazy thing we call life!
