Mood:  d'oh

The economy sucks...

Finally get myself settled into a job that I really enjoy and start thinking about getting my own place again when I am informed at my workplace that I am being cut down to 4 hours a day.  4 Hours?  That's not enough to pay my bills.  Argh!

 I got a cat as an early birthday present.  She's a one year old calico named Ita.  She's pretty and playful.  She loves to wake me up at 3 or 6 am.  She's my new alarm clock.  I certainally need to get used to her claws and teeth.  She's already clawed me a few times and destroyed a few things.  But she is the cutest little kitty EVER.  I really love her.  She likes to jump on me when I'm sleeping and play in my hair...which I am trying to get used to.

 I named her after Sister Ita Ford, one of the 4 martyred churchwomen in El Salvador.  I remember learning about those women when I was in school and the memory stuck with me somehow.  I came across a prayer card that had these 4 women on it as well.  I now own two DVD movies that follow these women, one being a documentary and the other being a made for TV movie that I'd been hunting for, for awhile.

I guess I'll be staying with my parents a little longer.  I have to get this job thing ironed out.  Seems like childcare is not a stable job.  I've been working in childcare for as long as I can remember though.
