My friend April

Makes me giggle with her posts of knitting and elliptical machines. She makes these giantic cookies and then says she'll be spending 45 minutes on her elliptical machine. I don't own any gym equipment, nor do I plan to. Oh, I recently received a second-hand bicycle from a co-worker, but its not in working order, at least not right now. My dh has to get busy and pump up the tires (if they'll hold air), paint it purple (its green right now, and its a nice color and all, but not my color), and add baskets and bells and a light or two. Back to my friend April and her cookie baking and exercising, to say she's a fanatic about exercising, I'd have to say, not really, but she does know when she has reached her limit and must do something about it. I love her to pieces and I miss the heck out of her.

More blogging

So, I'm sitting here watching Funniest Home Videos and let me tell you there are some pretty funny ones out there. Not only am I watching t.v., but I'm trying to do some homework and I'm also listening to my daughter's giggling. She is so much fun to listen to and watch.

Wow, how things have changed

Ok. So, let's see...I found my way back, but only because I received an email reminding me that I'd even come here, way back in June (which, BTW) I didn't even remember what I'd written. Anyway, a lot has happened (changed) since that last blog. I am working full-time at my child's school as an ELL-IA and loving it. I started working there in February of '08 and am back there in my second year. I am also going to college online and have received my first 6 credits towards my Associates of Arts in Early Education. Actually, this is going towards my core credits since I have not attended college - or let's say I didn't have any credits that were transferrable and I had to start at ground zero. But, that's ok I will have the distinct pleasure of saying as an older mother I actually completed something I started. It'll take me roughly 4 years to get my Bachelor's, but hey, I'd be nearly 50 if I didn't. So...

Crazy messed-up weekend

What a crazy, messed-up weekend I'm having. Life is not going as planned and it seems like the world is crashing down around my ears. A strong cup of java, a bowl of cheerios and some 9 grain bread will go a long way to making me feel better and knowing I had a good breakfast.

Will it ever get better? Who really knows. But one thing I do know is that the power of prayer works. And its time for a serious conversation with my creator and letting him know (which, by the way, he already knows) that I'm going nuts here and I would really like his help.

Figuring this out

Ok, so I think I'm beginning to figure this all out. It isn't easy and I hope I remember how to get back here whenever I need to post something.
