Clothes, Easy A and my lil working girl

Outfit of the day:

Dress: JC Penney

Cardigan: Target

*I also wore black Jessica Simpson platform pumps, but after looking at the pic I took of the shoes, I didn't like it, so I'm not posting it. I am sure I will wear them again. :)

Yesterday, Marisa and I went to have dinner with my Mom. Before we went to her house, I had to drop Michaela off at work.  On Fridays, she ususally works until 9:30. It gives me plenty of time to have dinner together and then do have extra time to do whatever. My Mom had DVR'd a movie that she thought we could watch together. A movie that she was hoping we have never seen before. She said, "It has Emma Stone in it. It's an older movie and  Emma Stone paints. The movie she was referring to was Easy A. I don't think my Mom read the summary of the movie. For those of you who have not seen the movie, it's about a High School girl who gains a reputation for having sex for the 1st time, when in reality it was a lie she created. I had seen the movie before, so I knew the plot of the movie very well. Not a movie a Grandma would probably want to watch with her 12 year old grand-daughter. She seemed dissapointed because she thought she was doing something fun that we can share together. So, I caved a little and let her start the movie,  but Marisa was on her Ipod listening to music. She was in the room with us, but had earphones on and so was not really "there". It was 8pm when we started the movie. 10 minutes into it, Michaela sent me a text to tell me she was getting off of work and needed me to come get her. I felt bad that I had to leave my Mom earlier than I wanted to, but I did get out of watching that movie and have some awkward moments. I have to leave places or events early because I have to either drop Michaela or pick her up from work. I am frustrated sometimes, but I have to put it in the right perspective. My daughter has a good work ethic and I need to make sure that stays a part of her. I need to be supportive. She's my lil worker bee. :)

Clothes, Motivation and Fur Babies

Today has been a busy day. Certainly a day of unexpected surprises.

First of all, this is what I wore today:

Top: Bebe
Jeans: Forever 21
Shoes: Gifted

I have done some thinking about my life today. I have had a lot taken from me in the past year and a half. One of my major losses was the loss of my job that I had for 12 years. I am having such a hard time finding a new job. I don't know why. I have come close to landing some great positions, but once I am in the home stretch, dissapointment ends up popping out of nowhere and I am left in the dust. My cousin's girlfriend posted this quote on her Facebook page that really reasonated with me and it's a quote I know I should be referring to during these tough times. It keeps me motivated. There are different ways to look at situations and the glass half-full mentally is certainly a better crutch to help you through the madness of life sometimes. Maybe this quote will help someone else. 

     "Dissapointments are God's way of saying, "I've got something better." Live life, be patient, have faith."

Very simple, but it packs a punch.

Before dinner, I took the girls to a pet store to buy our bunny Otis some new cage bedding. On the way to the store, I was telling Michaela that I felt bad for Otis because he is in his cage all day alone. I am doing my own thing throughout the day so I can't give him attention. Also, when I try to hold him my beagle Lilly wants to sniff him and  be right there. It's too much for me. I know Otis wants me to pay attention to him and it was too bad he didn't have a buddy to keep him company. So, what do I do? I end up buying another bunny! I think it's a good thing, but let me tell you, it has been a crazy evening!!!!  So now we have 2 bunnys and a beagle. And, can you believe this, my daughter's tried to talk me into buying another beagle! Can we say animal hoarder??? I would love another dog, but I need a bigger home with a yard. I don't want my home smelling like a barn! Jeesh!!!

Now we are a family of 6. 1 adult, 2 children and 3 fur babies. What a life!

  Meet Blake. Lilly is checking the new addition to our family out and he is checking out this odd animal he has never seen before.
