Things are Getting Better, Uh Oh
It seems like when too many things are going good in my life something has to happen to make it terrible. I have a job, it's not great, but it's a job. Vince is getting unemployment and is able to watch Logan while I work. We are slowly starting to catch up on bills. Now I'm just waiting for the car to break down or something. They did cut my hours at work, and I can't really be working only 20 hours a week. I was working full time and it was hard to be away from Logan, but we really need the money. We still need money, but now I'm spending a little more time with my baby. If Vince starts working though, I'm not sure what I'm going to do about Logan. Lately I've been working from 6-2 which I like so I can actually use some time in my day. Normally I work from 10:30-7 which sucks!! The problem is, I don't want to have to wake Logan up at 4:30 in order to get him to a sitter so I can be at work by 6. Which leaves me with one choice if Vince gets a job, I have to find another job with better hours. I spent 5 months looking for a job and was finally hired at Riverview. But now that I'm there, I don't really like it. The people are nice yeah, but the manager is really not manager material. They want the dining room to be like a restaurant, but they are ALWAYS out of stuff. If a real restaurant was out of food, customers would leave, but these people live here. I just don't really think she knows what she's doing. Plus she's only been there a few more weeks than me and the only reason she works at Riverview is because her mom is the administrator there. I applied at a place in Bartonville, but she hasn't called me back. I heard that Kroger in Morton is hiring, but I don't know if it's just part time. I NEED full time. I know it seems like I am never happy, but I'm just picky. I almost wish I could get my job back at Olive Garden. I like the people there and the money was good and I didn't even have to work full time. I tried earlier, but I guess they didn't need anybody. I wish money wasn't an issue. If I didn't have Logan, I wouldn't worry so much, but I really want to provide a good life for him, which also means I don't want to be working all the time in order to make the money. Does anyone know of a serving job that is hiring anywhere? I don't like serving, but it really is one of the best paying jobs out there for the hours. Well, I guess I'll stop my worrying for now and write about it later once something happens.

I know it's hard but worrying about the things that MIGHT go wrong, is no way to live. Trust me. I am sure that eventually things will look up for you. Focus on the positives right now, you have a job- a lot of people don't. Logan is healthy. You have a roof over your head and a car that runs. Everything WILL be just fine.
