And so it begins...

Well my rollercoaster of a life has continued its journey for this year. We have been trying to work out ways of getting Bethany to school when she starts in 3 weeks. She goes on Mondays and Tuesdays 12-2.30 and then Thursdays and Fridays 8.45-11.45. On Fridays I have the day off so that isn't a problem. But the other days I work 8am-1pm. On Thursdays we have found a bus that mum can catch to take her there but there isn't one at the right time to pick her up. On the Mondays and Tuesdays there isn't one to get her there but I can pick her up after work. So I approached my boss on Thursday and asked if we could change my roster on those 3 days from 8am-1pm to 7.30am-11.30, meaning I would lose an hour on each of those days. You see, I don't really have a lot to do, so I space my work out so it fills the day. My boss doesn't come in until 9.30am so I don't really do much until she gets there so I spend the first 1.5hours everyday on the net catching up with all my online friends. Then I spend the rest of the day working, pretty slack, I know.

But apparently it is a problem. She doesn't think I will be able to get my work done (eventhough she doesn't come in to 11.30am on Wednesdays because she takes her daughter to swimming lessons, she's the boss, I know but she still gets full pay). She said they were already considering getting someone in on Fridays, eventhough there wasn't a lot to do (it is so she can take the day off to take her daughter to playgroup), so maybe I could do that.

That would mean an extra trip to work and back for no extra money, having to pay mum to do another day and me missing yet another day with Bethany. I know she would be at school for 3 hours but I was going to roster as a helper on those days.

I am not overly happy with the response. She said she will have to talk to her husband about it but unless I could work Fridays they may not allow it. I told her I would also have to talk to Pete and my mum but if that was the case, she may have to advertise my job. The worst thing is, I thought they weren't just my bosses, but my friends. Bethany was invited to her daughter's birthday party, her daughter came to Bethany's and we talked about everything. She is only 3 years younger than me so it was like we were friends and it really hurts.

Well enough whinging from me, I'm sorry. I am also very PMSy today. I feel totally fat and bloated and just down, and that problem going through my head too doesn't really help.

Now, to the start of the 12 week challenge. My weighin yesterday was 81kg, I stayed the same for the week. So now I have 12 weeks to move some acceptable weight. Although I haven't had the best of starts exercise wise. Yesterday was 37.8 degrees and today was 35.6 so I haven't really felt like doing anything so I haven't. I may have sweat some weight out but not really burnt any. I said to Pete today that if this keeps up, I may have to get up with him at 5am and do them before he leaves for work.

Geez, I have gone on tonight. Sorry to have been so negative, but you all will either understand or have clicked of my page by now(can't say I blame you really LOL).

Heres to bigger (or smaller in the case of my butt) and better things.
