Random Thoughts

I love my job.  The kids are great!  The people I work with are fantastic!  I don’t dread going to work.

 

You know, we’ve all had a job where you dread going to work.  There is that one part of the job that you just hate!  Last year, we just really hard for me.  It was very hard for me to drive 90 minutes to work.  It was hard for me to take even longer than that to get home.

 

I have had jobs where it was miniscule things that I didn’t like about them, but there was always something.

Cleaning

Certain customers

Phone calls

Getting leads

Always working at night

Working every Sunday

 

Something….

 

Now, I don’t have that!  I don’t mind the drive.  I love the people I’m working with.  I really want to stay there.

 

However, the job that I think will be my dream job when I get it, was available.  I just found out, through an email, that I didn’t get it.  Ok…so, I never expressed an interest in it to anyone other than my family.  So…. I can’t say they didn’t want me! Smile  I just have to say….they didn’t come SEARCHING for me! Smile 

 

I am new to my county.  Even if I wanted to leave where I am right now, I would have to wait 3 more years to be able to put in for a transfer.  I could go through the whole resignation, reapplication, rehire process…..

 

BUT….

 

I don’t really want to leave where I am at the moment!  I love it there!  (It’s just not the school I always thought I’d be working at!) But….  if it is EVER meant to be, it will happen.  If not…. I’ll just take the Princess to work with me! Smile

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

My Goodie Box!

Recently, I participated in a swap over at Dandelion Wishes by Mamarazzi! My partner was Lisa from Like a Valentine ! This was awesome. I was so excited the whole time putting stuff together for my partner. Then I was like a kid at Christmas when I got my package from Lisa. There are some simple rules to the swap.... check out the next one that she does! Anyways... one of the rules is that you take pics and make a post about the goodies that you received. So.... I know these pics and some of the info are repeats from what I did in my 100th post, but I needed a separate post..... just for the swap! These are my goodies as they came out of the box.....weren't they wrapped cutely? I loved the paper Lisa used to wrap it. These are my goodies AFTER I unwrapped them! I got Devil's Food cake mix, white buttercream icing, and cute little cupcake liners. I got chocolate mints, note cards, recipe cards, orange soap....really smells like oranges. I have Aveeno lip conditioner an
