Nearing the end of my paper

So, coming to the end of my final project paper tonight. I have done so much work on this darn thing over the last few days. I feel like it's all I've worked on when I've been home, and my son is screaming at me for attention. Wow. He's loud! I have increased the amount of information in the paper from 3 1/2 pages to a full 5 now! I still have one page to go, at least, and a little more editing to do as well. Still using the paramedic method on this sucker, cause we all know he needs it. Te he he. I am not, I repeat, NOT a writer. I think it is quite possibly one of my least favorite things to do. Good news is that I can do it when I need to, but I have a feeling it will be more often than I'd prefer. Hmm.. Ok. That is all for now. Talk at you next week.

Moving Time

So, like always, I have been extremely busy the past two weeks. This time, it was due to our moving to Corvallis. We moved 45 minutes away from where I work! It is good though because I get my Mommy Time on the drive to and from work. The only thing that sucks is the gas money. Oh well. It is strange though because it feels like I have more time. I get to play with my son, spend time with my other half, and hang out with our roommate all around work. I actually enjoy my days off now too! Take yesterday for instance. I woke up and played with my son, worked out on the Wii Fit, read a book (the whole thing!), did half my classwork for this week, challenged my other half to Mario Bros, and went shopping with our roommate at Michael's crafts. I never have enough time to do two of those things, let alone all of them in one day! This move was very good for my family. Even James, my son, is much, much happier. He can play freely in the livingroom without being told not to touch everything at his level. I am glad we decided to move.

So much stuff!

So very busy. I feel like I am spinning out of control sometimes with everything on my plate. I had to call into work sick today just to get a chance to rest and finish my school stuff this week! Thank goodness the christmas madness is over in a few more days! I am just so tired, and miss being able to spend my whole day off with my son. Having only one day off a week sucks major. I just have to rememeber that it is almost over, and things will all go back to a fairly normal state. Although, we are moving the first of the year now, so things will still be crazy busy for a few days. Oh well... that's life I guess.

Craziness!!!!!

Oh my goodness. It is insanely busy at work right now! I, as I've said a million times, work in a jewelry retail store. We had a big event this weekend, and (of course) someone called in sick, so we were running one person short. I do think that even if that person would have been there, we still would have been in craziness. There were so many customers that I worked almost twice as many hours as I was scheduled over the weekend. I am excited that I am working in a new store (new to me), and that it is a busy store, but I feel like I'm falling behind in school and time with my son due to it. I know that part of this is that I am taking on the Assistant Manager position for the store after the holidays, but doing the work now, so that is keeping me super busy. Also, I have years of experience with this company, where most of the other people in my store have been there a year or less, so I am always correcting things that have been done incorrectly. I just feel like I need a breather. Note to self though: Take winter term off of school next year during this crazy season at work.

Plagarism

Based on the reading I have done over the last week regarding plagarism, I know that we need to cite our sources to give credit where it is due. I would not like someone taking credit for my hours logged researching information for a paper, and I do not think anyone else would like that either. Citing our sources is a waay of giving the proper credit and acknowledgement to the people that perform the tests and research that we use to gain knowledge of a subject. These people need to be acknowledged, because they deserve it.

Black Friday Venting

Okay, does anyone else hate Black Friday? I'm sorry, but I do not think anything less of an absolute emergency should merrit my getting up at 3am to be a WORK by 4 30am, in a jewelry store. That is just insane. And what's worse is that I know there are going to be people waiting for us to open. Crazyness. Wow. Oh, and it gets better. We're not even doing any extra type of sale today. Nope, nothing. The "big sale" is actually TOMORROW. Who set that up? Lol. Oh well. Off to work I go (It's 4:05am Pac.).

Busy days

Hello Everyone! My name is Tara Price. I am 23 years old, living in Salem, Oregon. I have been with my other half for over 4 years, and we have a beautiful 8 month old boy together. We live with my mother, stepfather, and stepbrother. Oh, and our chihuahua, Charlee (she's 6 years old). My other half stays home with our son while I am at work. I work full time as a jewelry sales associate. I love my job, but I love my son much more. :) My son is amazing to me. He was born March 9, 2010. He was 10 lb, 15 oz at birth. He was delivered by C-Section, and when he came out, he peed on the doctor, then was weighed in. He has been holding his head up since day 3, teething since he was 5 weeks old, and took his first step just a few days ago. He never stops! :) My other half and I met on MySpace, of all places. lol. I saw a picture of his son, and contacted him telling how cute he was. We met about a week later, and have been together since. We have definately been through our share of trials together, but manage to keep it all together and keep on keeping on. If you couldn't tell by now, I tend to be a pretty positive, upbeat person. OH! Also, I have post-pardum depression. I saw this because I do not want any woman out there that has a baby and suffers from this disease to be embarrassed, or feel bad about it. It is something that is perfectly normal, and is treatable! I actually had a customer of mine go in and be diagnosed with this as well just from talking to her while at work, and it saved her sanity (and probably her marriage). I just wanted to make sure everyone knew this. I feel it is very, very important. :) Okay, enough for now... my little guy is flopping around on the floor growling at me (yes, growling. lol). I think he wants to play, so Mommy is going to go for now. See you all again soon!
