2 and 1.

Laundry day. Well what day isn't really. Trying to get get ready for a trip to NC is almost like trying to move. I don't mind though. Even going to see our family an hour and a half away for a few days takes some packing savvy. I always forget something. It's not a simple throw the kids in the car and go sort of thing. There are medicines, diapers, wipes, cups, snacks, bottles, clothes, clothes, clothes, hair ties, brushes, ect. Never as easy as it sounds. My least favorite is coming back. The putting back of things. Not a fan. If there were money trees, I think I'd just toss everything each time we traveled and start over, ha ha.

My summer plans are as follows; take two summer classes online, stay home with the kids, and wait tables at night. Yikes. I am going in blindly, just assuming that I can and will do this. I am imagining a nice chunk of change at the end of the summer to begin the fall semester with. I am ignoring the very likely scenario that I will be exhausted.

It was a sobering experience filling out applications. At one of the places, the manager pointed out a girl and told me that she held a masters degree from Ohio State and could not find a job. Well, at least I'm not the only one. Kind of made me feel good in one way. I am not above doing what I need to do. Education doesn't mean much today, but hard work goes a long way. So cheers to working your butt off and hoping it gets you somewhere.

If I could only talk someone into implementing a plan to trade in useless bachelor degrees for more useful ones...no charge!
