taking a break

 I actually started doing the dishes! but then I got distracted, so I'm on my computer and not quite ready to get back to work yet. (My insides are a little angry today - that's my excuse for now.)

Anyway, it's one of my kid's birthdays in a few days and I am NOT ready. I was thinking of ordering presents and baking the cake to freeze today... we'll see what happens I guess. A different kid got hurt yesterday so they're at home, my youngest didn't want to get out of bed so I let her stay home, and my sick kid didn't feel up to going today so... almost everyone is at home. And husband is sick now. I'm not quite better, in that I don't have a lot of energy (I went to Costco yesterday and even with a slow walk and a short list, I got soo tired), which is a bummer. I want to do stuff, I just don't have a lot of energy and also my guts hurt a little. Probably doesn't help that I've only really eaten bread and jam and coffee today... shhhh let's pretend. Oh that reminds me I should pop my baby's lunch in the microwave, all she's had is toast. Not quite big enough to feed herself real food (but crackers and ice cream? she can usually manage that ahaha). 

Almost ready to get back to it. Honestly I'd love to lounge on the couch but my baby stole my phone, as she does. She hasn't had a lot of roblox time (her favorite mobile game) and it doesn't run very well on the tablet, so I figure I can take a break from my current obsession with it - webcomic binging and playing a mobile game to earn more binge funds. 

Speaking of funds, I think I might for realsies start job hunting - substitute hunting really. I figure I could make like a hundred and fifty bucks just from three five-hour days of work, and that would be so nice to have some extra in the budget right now. I think they have substitute cafeteria workers in the district - I'm totally good with food. I'd need to get my food handler's permit but that's usually pretty easy. Maybe I'll even do it before I apply... eh I should focus on actually writing a resume. I actually have cafeteria/food court experience! I might even be able to get a full-time position, if I find working isn't so bad. But also I think it would be fun to go on field trips and volunteer in my kid's classes, so I don't know if I'm ready to commit to full-time yet. Substituting I could probably just work a few times a month if I want... right? Maybe? Maybe they want substitutes that actually fill the slots... well, I'm not opposed, I'm just tired. 

Hah! Speaking of tired, I should do dishes, which reminded me of the few times I helped with dish duty in commercial kitchens. It's different! Very wet. And gooey. Ew.
