Making me cry...

Posted by Pixie at 7:23 AM 0 comments

Well it's obviously been a while since I've written on here. Everything pretty much just revolves work and daycare.. So nothing real exciting to talk about there.


Wait I lied. For a minute there I was having difficulties leaving my kid at daycare. The first 2 starting days that I left her there she left running away from me to go play with all the cool stuff and didn't even give me a second look back so I assumed she would have no problem there.

Then because the way my work schedule is I made the mistake of not being there for a whole week and when I returned that Monday she literally had a melt down. She cried and ran away from me but not into the class room, away from them and entered another classroom and hid behind one of the teachers. I carried her in my arms trying to console her and I walked into her class when one of the daycare ladies just literally grabbed her from me. Which I DID not appreciate her doing.

I think I would have done OK in trying to calm her down before I had to go but it was like a scene out of a movie where a social services lady was taking kids out of there house. My kid was grabbing at my shirt and jacket and when I left I was crying. It made me so mad at the lady and I cried because I had Never seen my kid like that. And then I started regretting going back to work so soon. So I need to take her more regularly so that she gets used to it and they all tell me it's good to start now because then when it's actually time for her to start school she would of be more used to it.

Too much drama...

Posted by Pixie at 8:21 PM 0 comments
Wow It's been awhile since I've been able to blog and I'm on a serious withdrawal :D

Let me tell you it's has been a long time since I have been on my feet for 7 hours a day for 4 straight days.. My feet hurt and I swear they have swollen up to 2 xtra sizes. ewww.. Thank goodness I have Thursday and Friday off.. yea for me!

There has been so much drama there since I've started. Managers and District Managers being fired for suppose stealing, people walking out, the managers threatening the walked out employees that they would make sure they wouldn't get hired at any retail place again, it's just a mess. Everybody talks about everybody, I swear it's like being in high school again. And I work with 30 and 40 year old people..

One store manager is applying to be a District manager and she's rude to all the employees and other store managers. Yea... that went straight to her head and she isn't even training yet. So lots of drama but whatever, I do my own work and keep my private life out of work (but haha share it to the blog world right :D). I don't need this job and I could save my money from not sending my kid to a daycare but I like doing something more productive and my child has a different experience in her life. So I'm hoping I can stay out of the drama till at least one pay period. =)

P.S Cindy from Cindysrandomness.. I couldn't get into your blog if you just give me an email address then I can help you out... :D

I'm a working mama...

So I have a ^JOB^. I started training today. I think it's going to be a good experience getting back in the workforce..eventually I had to do it so why not know. My little one is ready to go to preschool anyways.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm not working in that same store of the manager who hired me. I was trying to finish my packet and finish watching a training video but I couldn't concentrate because he kept singing..loudly... off key... and in the same room I was in. Very distracting. He kept talking to me and I was thinking to myself.. "Would you like me to finish today or not?"

And he talks about himsel constantly. That he used work at MAC and that he doesn't know why he downgraded. He made his store at MAC the best one in the state, he takes nobody's crap, that he was the best makeup artist ever blah, blah, blah..

And he's mean, he kept being mean to his own newbie girl.. saying that she wasn't catching on right away I mean hello if you've never done that kind of a job before it's going to take a while. He kept saying like "She's driving me crazy".

So yea I'm definitely happy he won't be my manager. My ^ DISCOUNT ^ has already taken affect. yea! Can't wait to get my 1st $ paycheck so that I can start spending it like a mad woman :D

Spring is in the air...

Yesterday I decided to go to a couple of Daycare centers by my house, you know just IN CASE the manager of the beauty supply store did call me I wasn't left running around like a chicken without it's head trying to figure out where to leave my kid.

I go to one and I enter and it's a tiny place where I think they only accept 10 kids or so which I liked because I knew they would definitely keep a good eye out on the kids.It's kinda quiet and I ask her "Do you have any openings"? and she's like no we are pretty booked and she has a waiting list of 10 kids. I was hoping this wasn't going to be my problem with other day cares because I know how long those waiting list can be.

My sister placed her kid on a waiting list and they didn't call her until 2 months later.

But she tells me of a new Daycare that just opened up and they're enrolling right now. I go down there and the director is just a sweetie, she was so nice to us (of course in part too because she needed my business :D So I told her I would just need them to take care of her 2 days a week and she gave me a great rate so now all I had to do was wait and see if they called me.

So I get home and an hour later he calles me to set up an interview for today. YEA! I'm really excited. I think my main goal is for him to let me be able to work mornings. I let him know that when he bombarded me with the application and he said it was no problem so I'm hoping he's able to keep that "no problem" and let me do mornings.

I didn't think he was going to call me so soon I assumed maybe like on Wednesday or something. And it's a good thing I decided to check out a couple of daycares in my area.

I got my up's and down's with daycares. I can leave her at a daycare and they will teach her preschool studies, and she definetly gets to interact with more kids. But then I kind of don't like it because you really don't know WELL the people who are taking care of your child, and I'm not working full time so I will also be home enough so that I also put my part in and also teach her and be with her as much as possible too.

Well we'll see what happens...
