Friday Frustrations: I'm a Slacker*

I am a slacker these days, which is why I have been fired on one of my jobs. Not officially, I didn't get a memo or anything, my employer just simply stopped giving me assignments and haven't contacted me since about 2 weeks ago. So yeah, I am unemployed and on top of that, I have lost my internet connection at home because I forgot to pay my bills for 3 months now, I think.

What is wrong with me, you ask? Well, I don't know exactly, I just don't seem to have the energy and the will to go on and write 300 words for a measly $2 to $3. I think I deserve more than that but apparently, I am the only one who thinks so, oh wait a minute, other sponsors think I deserve $9 or more for my 300 word post, so well, maybe I'm tired of settling with less.

I am also frustrated that I seem to forget what day it is. I forgot to post my Music Monday and Random Tuesday Thoughts this week because I forgot. I really need to start focusing more.

I blame no one but myself, and I guess I am frustrated with myself because lately I haven't been motivated as I used to. I hope to be able to update my blogs more and to be able to keep my current job. God help me.

Anyway, it's only Thursday, I'm writing in advance so I can skip Friday and do some actual work. See you guys soon. I hope Blogger publishes this post on time though. Go visit Conversations With Moms and tell Maria I said hi okay.

Traveling With a Baby

Have you heard the news about the baby in a stroller who fell on the train tracks but was miraculously unharmed even after the train passed over it? If you haven't seen the news, check out the video below.



I can only imagine how horrified the mother was, I know I would be too. Imagine, she only let go of her baby's stroller for a second to pull up her pants and before she realized it her baby has rolled off the ramp.

Traveling with a baby is never easy, you look away for a second and a lot of things can happen. Which is why there are things like the eddie bauer infant travel bed, to at least help make traveling with a baby somewhat easier. The eddie bauer infant travel bed is compact and lightweight which makes it easier for moms to carry even with a baby in tow. Personally, I prefer using an infant travel bed as compared to a stroller, especially during times when I travel by myself because when Lucas was a baby, there were times that he just didn't feel like sitting on his stroller, so i had to carry him and push the stroller at the same time, and let me tell you, that is not easy to do, especially when Lucas is having a fit. I wish I had discovered this earlier, I could have saved myself from unnecessary strain. Christmas is just around the corner, so if you know someone who is having a baby or still has an infant, then this would make a perfect gift. Toys are great gifts but parents would appreciate gifts the baby or the kids can actually use, I know I do.
