JOB!!!!

I got a job! Not a big job but still something that will pay at the end of every month. I am going to be doing the cashing out and banking for 2 stores owned by some friends of the family. I am super excited. Tonight was my first night on my own and it went well. I'm excited to see how this helps out our family. :D

Also, I opened a tax free intrest building bank account last week to start saving. Kurt and I have no savings and this is going to be the best way becuase we cant spend unless we go to the bank. So now we can put away a little something. I also opend a savings account for my 3 yr old son. So all his money he gets for gifts and that can be saved instead of buying toys and junk. He has so much of that already. So glad were starting to make some smart grown up choices.

Mothers 911

Yesterday had to be one of the worst days ever for me as a mother. I went downtown to see my mum at her work. When Karter, Mika and I walked back to the car and I buckled him in I layed the keys down beside the carseat. I closed the door and some how the door locked with the alarm on. So there I stood downtown beside my car with my 3 yr old and dog locked inside. I tried to get him to unbuckle himself so he could unlock the door but he couldnt. At this time I was in tears. This old man tried to help me so I asked him to stand with the car while I ran back to mums work. She called BCAA for us and they told me they could have a town truck there in 15 mins. They were there in less than 5. In the middle of waiting 2 other guys tried to help me by using a coat hanger. It didnt work but the town truck got there by the time they got it into the car. It was a crappy experiance one I hope to never experiance again! I felt so stupid! A man walked past me and said Wow! I've never seen this happen for real only on t.v. That made me feel better!!! :P A leason well learnt!!
