Work, home, Austin... and repeat

by cassaustinComment Published at 15:2215:226 comments6 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

It feels like forever since i blogged about anything. Not that i really have too much to tell. My life is sort of revolving around Austin and Work at the moment.

I am now working 9-10 shifts a week. Meaning i am getting plenty of money, but not alot of time to myself. I had my first day off in 2 weeks on Wednesday. Needless to say, i had plenty that needed to be done. I havent been to the gym in a week (oops) hehe. But it is great. I have made a few really great friends there and i am actually enjoying being there now. They have put me in the kitchen alot more now, but that is good, because it means i am getting a gauranteed 4 hours minimum each shift, where in the bar, i could be sent home after 2 if it isnt busy.

I have had a couple of altercations with the assistant manager, he is a friggen idiot. I swear. He is one of those people who just dont know when to shut his mouth, and when he insults someone, he laughs and even after you have told him that you are pissed off with him, he just laughs.  Quite annoying. He has really upset a couple of my workmates in the past couple of days by accusing them of having an affair, just because they are friends (mind you one is engaged with 3 kids and the other has been with his gf for nearly 3 years!!), so it will be interesting to see how tonight goes.

On the home buying front, things are really moving along now. Shannon sold his car on Tuesday, which means we got to pay off $10,000 worth of debt. We are really happy about this. We have an appointment next week with the mortgage broker, he should have a few lenders organised for us now, which means we just have to take in the paperwork needed for them so he can get the loan contracts drawn up for us, and we can go HOUSE SHOPPING!! YAY!!

Austin has grown up so much in the past few weeks. He is literally running everywhere. He grabs you and drags to to where he wants to go. He is getting VERY good at expressing what he wants. He will take you to the cupboard and pick out what food he wants (mind you it is usually in the biscuit jar LOL) He will shake his head when he has had enough to eat and tries to feed himself if he is not full yet. My gorgeous little man has learnt to say his cousins name too! But it is sort of a double edged sword, he can say April, but now everywhere we go, he thinks we are going to see april. When his nan was leaving on Thursday, he actually grabbed her pants, said car.. April.. Car .. April.. Hehe i guess he wanted to go see april lol.

I dont think there is too much else that is going on at the moment, really just Austin and work lol.

Hope everyone had a great halloween and has a super weekend!!

I forgot what this feels like...

Ha ha ha... I am home alone tonight for the first time since Shannon has come back home to work in town and i forgot what it was like being here by myself. I have already sorted Austin (who is now snoring) cooked tea, eaten, done the ironing and now i am not too sure what i should be doin... hehe

We had a pretty good weekend. I worked both fri and sat night but other than that we really didnt do all that much. When i woke up thismorning, Shannon was already up with Austin, so i got a sleep in (YAYAYAYAYY) and he told me we were having a bbq brekkie! Soo happy LOL.

Once Austin was up from his nap, we went out to the car yards to have a little looksee. We both need new cars and are hoping that when we get a home loan we can get a car loan too and just be paying off 1 loan. Will see how we go.

This week at work i start in the kitchen too. That should be interesting. I dont exactly know what i will be doing in there yet, all i know is that i am learning to cook. Holy shit, that is scary! hahaha.

Well im gunna go watch American Dad,  we have borrowed season 3 off a friend and i think he wants it back LOL. Hope everyone is well!

Love Cass xoxoxoxox

Sorry for the ramble... I have had a few drinks and .. well. yeah. xoxox

I have lost cms but no weight

by cassaustinComment Published at 16:3916:3916 comments16 comments83 Visits83 VisitsReport

I just had my second weigh and measure at the gym and i am a little dissapointed. I was hoping to see that i had lost some weight... Unfortunately i havent. About 1/2 a kg.

This month i have lost 3cms off my tummy, butt, boobs and thighs. I have lost 2 cms off my arms and gained 1cm on mt calves.

So i guess in one respect it is good coz i must be loosing weight but gaining muscle. But i am still a little upset that it doesnt show with my weight.

Anyway, hoping for a better result next time.

Stuff

by cassaustinComment Published at 01:2901:291 comments1 comments21 Visits21 VisitsReport

Today i had my hair dyed for the first time in almost 3 years. I was a little nervous, but excited too. I guess i got sick of being a redhead and needed a change. I decided on going a darkish brown with a few chunky blonde foils. It was great to sit at the hairdressers for a couple of hours and relax without worrying about anything.

Austin is doing ok. He is still very sooky and clingy, but i am guessing that comes with his age. Being new to this sort of toddler temper i am getting a little flustered at times, but i am slowly learning to deal with it. I have realised that i need to try to ignore him when he is carrying on for no reason and only pick him up when it is necessary. I know it is my fault he is like this to me, so now i guess i have to try and work thru this stage with him.

He is learning so so much at the moment. He is a little copy cat. In the past few days he has learnt to show me where his nose is and where his mouth is. He has also learnt to march, well, sort of. He was copying Shannon lifting his knees right up high when he walks. It is very cute.

Work is finally getting better. The other guy i work with in the bar is leaving next week, so it looks like i will pick up and extra couple of bar shifts and they found out that i have worked in a kitchen before, so next week they are training me up in the their. Not too sure what i will be doing in there yet, but i think it will just be prep and desserts. But whatever, i need the money, so i am glad they are finally sending shifts my way.

I will try to upload some newer pics later on tonight... For now i gotta go cook dinner.

Hope everyone has a great week!! xoxox
