Fun fact about me- I'm a total 80's movie/song buff.
So I've been cracking myself up, thinking about
"Working Girl". And also the other
type of working girl....hahaha.
I have been feeling a lot like Melanie Griffth
(minus the gravity-defying hair)
since I started working again and having to dress up.
That's right....this stay at home Mom,
now has a J-O-B.
It's been almost 4 years since I quit
my little part time job and have been
exclusively at home.
When we moved to Houston for Dental School,
I didn't really need to work since the student loans
were enough to pay our living expenses, but
tuition keeps going up and up every semester, and the
loan amount just stayed the same, sooo time to
get workin to make up the difference.
I have been really blessed to not have to work for
the first 3 years of school, and now we're down
to last year of school left, so it's only temporary.
Tim literally has only
12 months left! It's craaazy how close we are
and I can't wait to be done!
It will be even better when I'm done with school too,
which isn't that far off either!
So about the job-
It's at Saks 5th Ave at the big Houston Outlets which
are conveniently 2 min. from my house.
So I won't be able to use the "stuck in traffic"
excuse if I'm late!
I mainly work in the fine jewelry, so I
get too oogle diamonds all day.
All the people I work with are so so nice!
I have made a point to not even look at
the clothes or shoes,
so as to not get tempted to spend my whole
paycheck there. And darn it, if there
aren't some Ah-maz-ing deals on everything!
I had to help out with all the fabulous handbags yesterday...
Oh how I love the smell of leather handbags...
especially at 50% off. ;)
Self-control. Self-control. Self-control.
That is my mantra while at work.
Fortunately I only work evenings and weekends,
so the kids just stay home with Daddy when I work.
I will have to splurge on some good shoes
for my tired feet though....
I'm thinking I need some
Cole Haan's with the air soles...it's a must!
Oh and need I mention....
I get a 30% employee discount!
Even on sale and clearance stuff!
I may never want to quit,
just for the discount alone!!
