Working girl

So, Ive been at my new job for over a week and its been going pretty good. I can see that I have a lot of responsibilities and am curious to see how itll go when I am on my own. Right now I am training and am learning from a stand-in supervisor so I can learn the routine.  Its 10 hour days but I dont work Friday's and I get a 4 day weekend once a month! I think I could get used to that.

Other than the 50 minute commute and the being brain dead from information overload, its been really interesting. And I will clear the air since I know some people have been iffy on what I will be doing. I do not get to decide for myself who gets food benefits and who doesnt. Its an income based program and is NOT welfare. Its only for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).  And they dont get money, they get awarded certain food packages which ensure proper nutrition during pregnancy and for children during a very detrimental time of development (milk, beans, cereals infused with iron, baby food for those 6 mon. to a year, and a dollar amount towards fruits or veggies) They DONT get to go buy whatever food they want, only approved items. I just wanted to clear that up because my Mom said when she tells people they think I am just handing out money. This program actually saves the government money.

Me and Justin are wanting to move east of Dallas and cut my commute in half. We are very excited to be in a rental house instead of an apartment. Although I am going to miss the pool, that has been nice!

My parents are coming in town this weekend and we are going to the Mesquite Pro-rodeo series! Me and Justin have been before and I am pumped to go again, it was so much fun. Thanks for reading, tata for now!
