Today I am suppose to be giving a power point presentation at work for some clients so they can look at some of the designs I have been working on. I told my mom I'd be back around 2 so she shouldn't have to watch Noah for too long. I always kind of feel bad when I make my parents babysit for long periods of time. I guess it's because I have the theory that it's my child so it's my responsibility and also because I know how rambunctious Noah can be at times. He's definitely a handful. I get to work and I'm baffled because no one is here. I was expecting at least 20 or so people and all I saw was my employer. He then informs me that the presentation has been pushed back to 2 because some of the clients had a hard time getting here for noon. How convenient for them and how inconvenient for me. I now had to call my mother and tell her she'll probably be babysitting for longer than I expected. This is why I hate going into the office because something always goes wrong. I mean don't get me wrong I love my job it enables me to work from home a majority of the time and it pays extremely well, but their communication sucks. My boss even told me to my face he didn't try to call me because he wasn't sure if he had the right cell phone number. Lame excuse, but it is what it is. At least now I can sit here at work and tweak some things before everybody shows up. It just really stresses me out because now I am pressed for time because tonight I am suppose to be going out with my two best friends so that's less time for me to get ready and just ugh. Hopefully today will end on a good note, but right now it's just looking really bad.

Last night I invited my cousin Jena and her boyfriend over for dinner. I just needed a little adult interaction, but it ended up just annoying me. I just really get upset when she starts talking about how I don't work and how the job I do have was a hand-out since I happen to be employed by one of our family members. She also has no children so I try my best to just brush it off, but I can't any longer and I know she reads this (she told me so) so I am writing this blog to her. Just because I work from home, which was my decision, I still had to apply like everyone else. He didn't just hand me the job I had to go through interviews, drug testing, the same thing everyone else goes through. Yeah maybe I did have a little more push being that I was related to him, but that doesn't specifically mean he gave me the job based solely on that. Who cares anyways? It's a job! Also you don't know what I do during the day when it comes to Noah. He is a job in itself. Imagine sitting at home with a 2 year old who is constantly getting into things and always wants to be doing something. It's extremely hard to find things for us to do especially being in a place where it does snow heavily so it's not always an option to take him somewhere. Yes I did choose this you're right on that aspect, but please don't dare tell me I don't work that is the one thing that just annoys me to no end. I take care of my son, cook, clean, run errands and it is really tiring sometimes. My only piece of advice I can really give you regarding your rude comments is...don't talk unless you live it for yourself. How about you come baby sit Noah for a day, hop on the computer and do my work for me, while you try to juggle, cleaning, making breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all that stuff that you blatantly ignore whenever you say the things you do? Just ugh you annoy me I'm done talking about this.

I'm watching Project Runway and their challenge is to make outfits for Drag Queens. It's definitely interesting to watch considering I have lived a very sheltered life and have never been around a real drag queen. Watching this makes me kind of want to go out and meet one they are soooo funny! My mom came over to watch Noah today while I got some work done, which was good I don't need him to be watching this with me and asking me about drag queens. LoL.  On a different note hopefully by this time next year my husband will be graduating and than I will get to have him home more. He has worked so hard and given up so much. He has taken summer classes since he started, which was hard because we haven't really gotten a chance to go on any kind of nice vacation, but it definitely helped cut down the time he has til he finishes. I'm so proud of him and I hope everything works out. Right now I work from home for one of my relatives and he pays me fairly well so I am kind of in a bind. I really feel like I should go back to school to set an example for Noah, but than another part of me feels like I make enough money right now that I could be a stay at home mom at least until Aylin started Kindergarden (the 3 year old program Noah will be in next year is only half a day 2 times a week), but I still have time to think about it and school is always an option I'll just have to see how everything works out.
