Well what a crappy day it has been for me.. I slept most of my day away!! I cannot believe I woke up at like 6pm! Of course.. it's my day off!! Never fails.. seems like when you have a day off from work finally.. They fly by.. But when you are at work, it slowly crawls by!! oh well whatever!
What have you guys been up to today?? I am on my third cup of coffee and it's 9:20pm.. Well I guess that's what I get for always staying up late and researching other blogs!! It's bad when I spend most of my time reading other's blogs instead of focusing on my own.. But there is such a wealth of info out there, that I get drawn in so easily. I have got to get some laundry done. And I wanted to go Couponing today at Rite Aid.. I had my list and coupons cut and everything...And that didn't happen..
I am kinda down on myself for sleeping all day!! Oh well.. Might as well get over it and get some work done around here.. I need to get this house in order LIKE NOW!!
How do you guys stay organized if you work Third Shift?? How are your sleep schedules,etc?
Even if you don't work third shift how do you stay organized? Do you use a planner? I love planners.
I told you about the Filo-fax I got from Yerdle. It is so smaller than what I wanted, so I am on the look out for a larger one! Probably go for a used one.. Can't afford the price tag for a brand new one.
I have all kinds of homemade binders I have made for home management/work. But I haven't been using it anymore.. I need to get on the ball and start planning again.. It really helped me to focus when I write everything down! Even if I don't get my whole To-do list done, at least I get some of it done.. Or at least I was when I was using my Binder!! I will post a pic of it when I get my bf to show my how to upload photos from my digital camera.. lol.. I am not technically inclined like most people my age!!
Hope yall are having a great Tuesday night! Oh I have a pinterest board if you would like to follow it or see some of my pins.. I love pinterest. If you have a pinterest account leave a link in the comments and I will be sure to follow you!! Here is mine if you want to check it out. it has free printables, organizing/cleaning, all kinds of cool stuff on it.. Great blogs that I follow, etc...

HOME finally!
Good Morning! I am so TIRED!!! Just got off work. Worked a 3 night stretch (12hr shifts).. Man am I glad to be OFF work for the next two days!!! And I am NOT answering that phone for nothing!!! It was one long weekend!!!
Anyways, can you tell I'm glad to be off work??? lol... I finally got my Filo-fax that I ordered through Yerdle.com yesterday!! I was glad to see the package in my mailbox, but it was not as described. It was WAY smaller than the picture.. it's more like an address book! oh well, I guess I still can't complain. Only paid $2 shipping for it!! I will just have to be on the lookout for another one! I was going to do homemade printable inserts for it and set it up the way I wanted it!! But I will just find me another one!!!
Well I am off to check out some blogs! And then hop in the BED!! Take Care!!

More Rainy Day Ramblings and Soul Searching
Hi yall! Just thought I would drop by and post a lil note to say HEY!! I am fixin' to get ready for work. I work 6pm-6am as a caregiver at an Assisted Living Facility.. Went to work last night and we had a lot more staff than usual, so I got a "short" night and got to come home at 10pm. That was nice.. But tonight it will be my full 12 hour shift.. But that's ok, I am well rested and ready take on the night!!
I have been doing a lot of researching on blogs, writing, etc. I am trying to find my way in this huge blogosphere and it is tough! I am using this free site to feel my way through and decide if this is something that I really want to commit to or just a hobby! I love to read blogs. There are so many wonderful blogs out there and just about everything you can imagine. And that got me thinking, "what do I have to contribute?". I am just a normal working woman like most people. Nothing about me stands out. I do not have a degree in anything! I am not a writer, although I love to read! Reading has always been a passion of mine. And I have always dreamed of writing books like those I love to read, but I don't have the skills for it!
I never went to college, other than training to get my CNA.. which was just a class! I graduated high school.. then went straight to the workforce. I don't make a lot of money at my job, I call myself "a survivor", because that is basically what I do month to month... SURVIVE!! I pay all my bills and what's left I live off of!!!
So I have to do some deep soul searching and figure out what it is that I want in my life! I am 41yrs old! I want to do something with my life before I die.. I don't want to be famous.. And I don't want to make millions!! I just want to live better than I do right now.. I am grateful to God for providing for me each and every day! I have a roof over my head (a rented roof, but hey still a roof) and food in my belly!! I drive a used car.. That we have to keep maintenance up on constantly, but it gets me to work and back to make that almighty dollar $$$.. So, I cannot complain!! I just know there has to be more to living than what I am doing! And it's time for me to either change or learn new skills to get me the LIFE I want!!! If God will's it, then it will be!!
I guess it's time for some soul searching and some praying that God will lead me and that I will recognize "it" when He does!! God Bless yall! Love to the world on this Rainy Saturday Evening!!

My Day
Well it's been a few days since I posted on here.. I have been working the last few days and now it's my day off.. seems like it's so hard to drag myself out of sleep when you work this shift!! I have got to start doing better! I feel like I am sleeping my life away! And there are so many things I would like to do and get done around my house.
Today was my payday. So I go online to check and see how much I got paid after taxes seeing as I had 12 hours overtime this payday.. Wow, what a bummer!!! I was thinking that my check would be way bigger than what it was.. such a let down. Then I checked my bank statement and saw where one of the items I ordered online waited to take their money out the day they shipped instead of just taking it out the day I ordered the item!! So it overdrafted my account!!! That really ticked me off.. All for a large sum of $2 for the shipping!! I ended having to pay $36 for that measly little $2.. Now if that just didn't start my day off on the wrong foot!!!! Anyways, I'm over it now.. but at the time I was like so mad.. I have got to sit down and make a budget and get my finances in order. I work full time, but still struggle to make ends meet.. I hate that feeling! I would love to be able not to worry about stuff just one day!
I am back to work starting tomorrow and have to work all weekend (12 hr shifts), so it's going to be a long weekend.. I really dread it.. I work as a caregiver in an assisted living facility. I barely make above minimum wage. I wish they paid better where I work. That is why I am all the time looking for side-hustles and extra ways to make money or to get the things I need!
Still waiting on that filo-fax I ordered thru Yerdle It hasn't come yet! They sent me an email on the 2nd saying that it has been shipped! I hope it comes soon.. Oh, but I did get a surprise in the mail today.. It tickled me to death because I never WIN anything.. I won a free CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara through the Allure website. They have contests like everyday. And I was one of the winners of their cosmetic giveaway they had!!! I was so happy.. that is bad when you get excited over a mascara.. But it was just one other thing that I didn't have to spend money on! lol.. anyways, it doesn't take much to amuse me!! lol..
Do you guys ever try to get free samples/free products thru websites.. one of the best websites I have found here lately is Freebie Shark I use Julie's freebies too.. I like getting free samples and stuff.. I have a basket designated just for my freebies.. and a bookshelf for my coupon items! (stockpile).. I need to get on the ball and start couponing again.. And listing deals on here so yall can get them too!
Well gonna run and go check out some of my fav Blogs! Stop on by and say hi.. leave me a comment with your blog if you have one and i'll be sure to check it out!! Talk to ya later!!!

Work time
Fixen to head off to work here in just a bit! Thought I would stop in and say hi to whoever reads this! If anyone.. It's a Monday!!! I couldn't sleep last night, as usual.. Almost missed my dr appt. UGH!! The life of a graveyard shift worker...
I haven't had time to do too much of anything today.. I am wolfing down some toast before I leave for work.. Just to keep the hunger pains away for a while.. Does anyone else that works third shift have weight issues?? I gained so much weight when I first started working 3rd shift! I guess where our eating habits are backward.. But here in the last couple of months I can see a change.. I stopped drinking Mtn. Dew for one! That helped extremely well!! Now I just drink my tea and water!! Oh and my coffee!! I couldn't make it thru a 12 hour shift without my coffee!!! lol.
Well I hope everyone has a good night! It's my long week, so I will be real busy this week with work. But I will still make time to blog everyday.. Even if they are short posts. I have so much to learn still about the blogging world.. But am having fun so far learning!! Can't wait till I can get my own domain and have it looking nice.. I love reading blogs! I spend more time reading other people's blogs than I ever do on social media.. I am sick to death of Facebook.. I pop in on it every other day.. Just to check in with my kids that are moved out on their own!! Anyways, here I go rambling, when I need to be getting ready for work!! Hope everyone has a great day!! Talk to you later!
