Cassie's Diary

That does sound pricey for daycare especially given their ages. Maybe you can find something else. Is there a college nearby? maybe a college girl could stay w/ them.
Sorry I've been absent! Too much going on in my life right now. Sick dog, kids, and waaaay down at the bottom of the list is little ol' me.

Hi y'all! HH, I was goin' acorns this morning! I finally slept in (5 am.) and decided I'd shower before hubby got up. By doing so I lost time to post this mornin' But I am back for a bit (and will be again later) I have feelers out for teenagers who live nearby, but this being such a small community, I am not sure how many teens there really are here.

Fluff, the daycare prices were what origionally prompted me to take my own business further than the "hobby" stage. I was working my tail off and (out of an 80 hour biweekly paycheck) I would only see around 200 of it. Now I really like my job, have been offered a permanent position, but am short on daycare. I just can't win but I will keep tryin' Ya know, the first day, I noticed the super-sweet smell of chocolate all day long (it kind of made me naseaus after a bit) but since then I haven't really noticed it at all unless the other lady or I burn our chocolate or the girls in the kitchen area are cooking something.


MO2, glad you could stop by. Don't worry about how often you can get here. I know all about the busy thing (you've probably noticed that I haven't been stopping in to see you as often either) so don't worry. I'm just glad you had time to stop in today We live on an island of sorts so the nearest college is an hour away... but I am gonna keep tryin'. I am not sure what will happen if I can't find someone for at least 3 of the 5 days I need daycare.

Well, food so far today:

Protein shake w/ skim milk
1 white toast (need to go get my bread so I can eat more of it!)
margarine

cottage cheese

5 prunes
spicy pickles (what a combo huh???! LOL)

water so far: 32oz ( was just able to start it so I'll be drinkin' like a demon tonight)


gotta run.Gonna try to visit y'all tonight at one point or other

 

[Hypo Hippo]

Oh, funny! You aren't going to let me live that one down, are ya? Just joking!

Prunes and spicy pickles? Together? Yuck! Lol!

Mornin', HH those acorns just hit me at odd times, I just can't help it!!! LOL Only in a friendly way of course

Well, see, I brought the pickles to go with my lunch and the prunes for my snack, but I only got 5 minutes to suck something down at work so I chose the cottage cheese so that I could make it another 4 hours. Then I ate my prunes in the car on the 5 minute drive home and the pickles when I got home. So they weren't technically together, but i admit, I eat weird combos (see this mornings breakfast!!! )

Didn't make it back lastnight.... fell asleep at 730!!!!! The funny thing is, I think this lack of sleep caught up with me last night 'cause I slept until 6 this morning!!!! I mean, I woke up a few times during the night like Ihave been but I fell right back to sleep instead of staying awake like I had been!! The minimum amount of sleep I got last night was 10 hours!!!!

so, rest of food for last night....

homemade french onion soup
salad w/ light caesar dressing and LF swiss cheese
2 oz ground sirloin patty

total cal. for yesterday: 1157
yesterdays water: 64 oz.


Now for today (ready for THIS combo???LOL)

left over french onion soup
1 white toast w/ margarine
protein shake
prunes ( I love the li'l buggers and can't seem to stay out of 'em!!)

not sure about lunch yet... Its grocery day monday so we are gettin' to bare bones.... will have to post it later....


I ran my tail off at work yesterday, trying to get out as much as I could to make up for lack yesterday. Found out I have over 3000 pieces still to do for easter and that isn't counting the chocolate bunnies that are a major PIA! Yipes! I've only been putting out about 300 pieces a day ( the 3000 pieces is WHOLE units not single counts that I produce a day!!). Oh man, I have my work cut out for me. I have been working through my lunches so that I can work with the choc. while its behaving - the bonus to that is I can leave a half hour early when I do that, too. Okay, off to smell the good stuff

 

[Hypo Hippo]

I think you've got acorns in your head!

I like to eat prunes sometimes too. I buy the bags that say "dried plums" on it. I guess that makes it sound better! Every once in a while I get into moods where I want to eat them every day. It is kind of funny that we both eat those and you were the only other person around here who also eats white gravy! Oh no, we seem to have a lot in common! Lol!

 

[redneckwoman66]

Lmao@u 2 And Acorns!! Well Let Me Tell Ya I Pay 105.00 A Week For My 2 Year Olds Day Care And I Have To Pay It Whether She Is There Or Not! I Only Have Her In There The 3 Days I Work Weds Thru Friday But I Even Have To Pay This Week And She Is Home With Me! Its Worth It I Love The Job I Have!

 

[Hypo Hippo]

Hey Tina! The acorns thing is because I slipped on acorns and fell when I broke my leg.

I can't believe daycare is so high! $105 for one child! I guess I am lucky that 2 of mine are school age and that my hubby is here with the other one during the day and with all three of them over the summer. We could never afford day care for all of them!

ROFLMAO!!! HH, i thought they were rocks in my head, but it may just be the rollin' of acorns!!!!

See! I knew I liked ya for a reason! I like prunes and white gravy BUT NOT TOGETHER! LOL I eat some weird things but not THAT weird! hehehehe Hey! If I have acorns in my head you must have 'em in yours! Nope, wait. You used up your acorns already! LOL ( I know, I'm a terd! hehhhehehe)

SHE STARTED IT!!! LOL hehehehe

Thats the thing with daycare, you have to pay even if they aren't there. I have to seriously think over accepting the permanent position I was offered if I can't find a way to alleviate the cost. I just don't want to take 500 out of every paycheck - I won't see squat for me after bustin' tail 80 hours!!! I am hoping to find a way soon.

 

[BizeB]

Okay, food update for today....

cottage cheese

swiss cheese

not sure about dinner yet....

water so far 32 oz and workin' on the rest

okay, off to see how many I can visit before its time to get dinner

 

[Hypo Hippo]

Nope, no rocks. Just acorns! Lol! I probably do have them in my head too. You keep messing with me and I will send some your way!

Well, I knew I liked you for some reason too! Lol! I don't like the prunes and gravy together either.

What do you mean I started it?! I did not! You did!

Hope you figure out something with the day care if you decide you want that job permanently. Stay positive!

 

[NewLeaf]

Just poppin in, to tell you to fin dsome chocolate or candy to munch on.. Since...we're competitors and all!

 

[BizeB]

I haven't given up on summer kid care yet. I am trying to keep positive about it all but its so discouraging!

rest of food for today:

tuna salad made w/ mustard, relish and red peppers
over lettuce
skim milk
carrots w/ 1 laughing cow wedge
10 prunes

total calories for today:1109

I'm not sure if I should count work as exercise or not - I sure did bust tail though. I got a huge store order today that I have to fill by monday - sounds easy until you find out that there is over 4000 pc to that one order and I still have to fill our retail store and other international orders at the same time AHHHHHHH nothing like trying to crush the new guy! LOL Thats okay, i perform best at work under pressure. (good thing for them! LOL) Yup, I still like my job I get to help the Easter Bunny reproduce! LOL

TTFN, folks, off to scarf my dinner and visit some more

 

[BizeB]

BTW, HH the place I work is called Vermont Nut Free Chocolates and there is more than one reason it is nut free (besides the lack of acorns ). Hubby says its b/c its all women that work there (the owners hubby doesn't count ) Every time I walk in the door I see the company "emblem" on the wall and crack up laughing - first I remember what hubby said, then I realize that there is an oak tree right out the front door so you would have to have a spotter! LOL (sorry, it came out before my brain could stop my fingers!!!! LOL) I know, I know, I am such a big Terd! hehehehe

 

[Hypo Hippo]

Oh Cassie! What are we going to do with the two of us?! Lol! We're both nutty!

So glad you are still liking your job. Keep up the great work making those little baby bunnies! Lol! Maybe we will end buying some of the ones you make. What company are you working for anyway?

Update: Lol! You just posted the name of the company as I was typing! Oh how funny about the oak tree and the spotter! Maybe you should watch your step! And I hate to break it to ya, but it isn't nut free when you are there! Lol!

[Hypo Hippo]

Yeah, you nut! I caught that and edited my post!

Just poppin in, to tell you to fin dsome chocolate or candy to munch on.. Since...we're competitors and all!

Not on your life, NL! LOL I've been a terd lately (just ask HH! LOL) but I've been a good terd I'll send you some nice chocolate though.... filled with (and take your pick or all of them) raspberry or orange cream, butter cream or apricot cream Or maybe some choc. covered pretzels? How about a solid easter bunny??? Would you like milk or dark chocolate??? OH! YOU WANT BOTH!!! Okay I forgot!! We have 6 kinds of truffles too!!! Just tryin' ta help ya

 

[Hypo Hippo]

Well, dark chocolate is supposed to be good for ya. Maybe if we take a chocolate bunny and smash it all to pieces, it won't have any calories!
