This heat wave is ridiculous. I cannot tell you the last comfortable day we had here. We made a wise investment at the beginning of summer. A 16ft by 3.5ft pool! It is quite the miracle cure for these hot days! Dakota is looking quite the native american with his dark tan and mohawk. LOL That boy continues to bring our life joy!

My husband got me hooked on the discovery channel show Deadliest Catch when it first came on. I never thought I would like the show but the personalities on the show really make it. This season they lost one of their Captains. Captain Phil passed away after have a massive stroke. Last night's show was about his passing. I cried my eyes out. These are real people doing a very hard job under conditions you cannot imagine. I look forward to seeing his sons carry on the tradition.

As I have been getting more and more fed up with my job, I decided to pull in some favors. I called one of my old bosses when I worked at a local college. She was so happy to hear from me and is really trying to get me back in there. She will be retiring next summer and wants to train me as her replacement. Walmart was a good job for me as far as returning to the work force after being a stay at home mom. But that place is seriously a joke. The way the employees are treated is similar to kindergarten tactics. Although I did just have my annual review and it was a good one, I do not wish to make walmart a career. I can't deal with the politics and ass kissing. While our store manager gets her big bonus and goes on vacations to Mexico and the Bahama's, us peons are scraping by to support our families and put food on the table. The college I am trying to go back to is state run so I get all the good days off! I will be back in accounting, hoping my brain hasn't been fried by working at walmart. Oh and also 8 to 5, weekends off. My schedule right now is horrible, hardly ever get to spend time with family. I never get two days in a row off.

Keep me in your thoughts that this job comes through soon!
