Well, I have been unemployed for a while. Yes, it's "technically" by choice, but right now it's because of the hours I need. I have heard from friends who have already taken the class that I have this semester that I have about 60-80 hours of Clinicals/Observations to do. That's only about 5 hours a week, so that's not as bad as it first sounded.

However, since Chasity is in school (and we don't have the funds to pay for before/after school care) I need to make arrangements or find a way to get her to/from school on the days that I have to be in the schools. The Spring semester is going to be even rougher. I will have a full-time internship (unless I have a full-time teaching job)....which would be AWESOME!!! (Keep praying for that one!) :)

Anyways.....I went to CareerBuilder and searched for Freelance Writing positions. I never thought about that before, but I received a Spam mail about it and it made me think. If I could find a Freelance job, I could make some money on the side and could pay someone to get Chas from school.... you know?

So on CareerBuilder, there was a job (a few in different cities actually) for a site called Examiner.com. So I checked out some of the articles on there. Then I applied for a job--freelance writing.

I submitted my application last night. They sent me an email (automated, but still) that said that a "real person" would be contacting me in a couple of weeks!! I think that's pretty awesome!

So....I just thought I'd share that! Keep your prayers going up for a full-time teaching job!



Until next time........

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
