2:33 pm - Long Time No Write
|
Hmm...I haven't updated this thing since June. I think the only time I ever even think about updating my livejournal is when I'm procrastinating on something else. I so should be studying right now. I have a test at 4:00. Boooo on school. I am so ready to graduate. Another year and a half..I can do it! I really should have been a Dr.
I love my job at Kingdom Kare. It is definatley my fave job thus far. I wish I could focus most of my time and energy on teaching preschool, rather than my own school work. My classroom would be so awesome. Someday I will be able to do that.
I just realized I'm complaining a lot. I'm really not down. Just a little grouchy because this semester is about over and I have a lot of work to do. Actually, life is very good. Sure there are problems, but God is awesome. He has blessed me in many ways and I am so underserving. I wish everyone could know how God's gifts are far better than anything we would choose for ourselves. I've been trying to express that thought a lot lately...but I don't know if it really can be expressed through words alone. I know it's something I had to learn on my own. Wow...I'm going off on a major tangent.
I was reading my Bible before work this morning and this verse has stuck with me all day. John11:40- "...if you would believe you would see the glory of God..." Why is it so hard to believe? Sometimes my faith is so high, and other times I keep pushing God to the side because I think I'm too busy for him. I want to always keep my faith in Him, and not in this world.Life is so much better with God.:)
Ok, I've spent a little too much time neglecting my studying. Better go. Maybe I'll update again soon...or maybe not.

10:03 am - Answered Prayers
|
This summer is already flying by so fast!
Last night was our pre-k graduation. It was the cutest thing ever. 10 boys and 6 girls graduated. The boys realized they had an audience while they were on stage, and disrupted the whole ceremony. It was so entertaining. They were dancing, yelling to family members, and making fart noises in their diplomas. I was cracking up the whole time. Kids are great!
I finally got accepted into my cohort at Miami! God definatley answers prayer. I was making arrangements to transfer schools. But, now I don't have to. Yay! I can't wait to be a kindergarten teacher. I'm so excited about finishing school and finally starting my career. Thank you to everyone that prayed for me! (I told almost everyone I know to pray for me...heh)
I've been babysitting Cooper when I'm not working. I love spending time with a kid that is so creative and so eager to learn. He makes me smile.
God has blessed me in so many ways. He has given me a career path that I've very happy about, a christian family, and a better best friend than I ever dreamed of.(aka Andy :)
Ok, I'm getting all cheesy. That means it's time to stop. Hehe, this is what happens when I'm the only one up.

10:44 am - Only 2 more weeks!
|
I so should be working on school stuff right now, but I'm lacking the motivation. I have a tendancy to distract myself with anything and everything as the semester is coming to an end. I really really don't want to do my homework!
I made Andy agree with me that we will do something fun when school is out. (well, I didn't actually MAKE him, I simply asked him...I'm not mean or controlling!) I dont know exactly what that may be...but I know I am ready for a break. I was going to take a summer class or two, but you know how that goes. I sign up for them...realize that I'm tired of classes...talk myself into believing there is no way I can afford them...and finally I just drop them. But hey, there's always next summer. ;)
I had a job interiview this morning. I'm praying that God will lead me where he wants me to go. Not my will, but his be done. I have to remind myself of that constantly. Sometimes I get so worried about every little thing. I have no idea why! God has shown me over and over again that he is taking care of me. His way is definatley the best way.
Okay, I must get some work done for real. Yay School.

It looks as if I've went way past my monthly update. Not that it really matters...
School is good. Work is good. Life is good. School keeps me pretty busy most of the time. I'm doing much better this semester with not procrastianting. (for the most part) I've only missed one class so far. Be proud of me.
I can't decide whether or not to go to Panama with Cru on spring break. I had a blast last year, an I know I would this year too. But, I know I'll have a ton of projects to work on that week. I also would feel bad asking for that week off of work since I don't work a lot. Plus, I haven't been to Cru all semester because I'm so tired on Thursday nights. Hmmm...what to do? It's the dilemna of the week.
Amy and Jeremy are getting married this weekend. My best friend from highschool... and my cousin. Who would have known? I'm excited about seeing the whole fam and some old friends. Good times.
My mom is going to India for a couple of weeks. She is crazy! Remember her in your prayers.
Welp, it's time for work! yay! I'm happy about that. I miss my kids. I worked for a few hours last night on stuff for our theme this week. Planning excites me. I'm the biggest dork in the world. I can't wait to be a real teacher.
Until next month...

I seriously haven't updated this thing in a long looooooong time.
I think I'm just in a talkative mood and no one is up so I feel the need to talk to myself...that's why I'm writing a journal. Does that make any sense??? I don't know. Hmm...I'm scary Mr.!
Christmas shopping makes me sad. Everyone at the mall is competing. Whether it's for a gift, a parking place, or lunch. It all seems kinda pointless and silly to me. What happened to Christmas? When did gifts become the whole point of Christmas? Everytime I've gone out to by gifts I feel guilty of putting materialistic things above the true meaning of Christmas. And, I am guilty! Sometimes I let myself get so distracted. Grrrr on me!
I hung out with Trish, Mikey, Misty, and Mel tonight. We reminisced the ol' "I'd talk to him with it!" incident. Haha. Funny stuff for sure.
I think this year my New Years resolution is gonna be to NOT get fat. I'm not saying I'm thin...cause I know I'm not...But it's just easier to say I won't get fat this year then to say I'll lose a lot of weight. So, that's the plan. Yeah. Makes sense. Resolutions ARE supposed to be easy. Right?
I really really love my kids at work. Even when they are being little monsters, if one of them just smiles at me it turns my mood around. I am so in love with them! (not in a Michael Jackson sort of way!) I really believe that God blesses me by giving my soul a bond with the souls of the children. I really connect with them. They are some of my closest friends. I would have never thought some of my truest friends in life would be 4 or 5 years old.
So maybe I should get off of here so that I don't look at my journal tomorrow and think "Why did I write that!?" I'm getting a lil sleepy and sentimental. Heh.
Shopping again tomorrow...booo...But it's with Trish...so YAY! I'm making her drive this time so she doesn't have to beep my horn or turn on my windshield wipers. Can we say control freak??? Haha.
I have a crush on Andy. Shhhh...it's a secret crush.

If I had three wishes right now...one of them would definatley be that I could be finished with school after this semester. It's nice to dream sometimes.
Scheduling hurts my head.
I'm thinking of going on a strike.

Who knew there were so many websites about geothermal energy??? Don't you find that interesting? Neither do I! Booooring. I'm tired of doing school work! At least Trish is suffering with me. That makes me feel better.
trishnic8: i thought that natural gas was the same as methane
DanceAnnaCabana: I did too
trishnic8: but evidently methane is just in natural gas
trishnic8: DANG
trishnic8: is it?
trishnic8: or what???
DanceAnnaCabana: sorry, i'm not a gas expert
Andy thinks that I ditched him tonight to watch Cupid! I would never do such a thing. I mean...who cares if Lisa marries Hank or Robert? NOT ME! That's for sure ;) I didn't miss out on Andy for a show!
I have so much homework to do but I'm just sitting here rambling to a computer. Blahhhhh...boo on school!
Slumber party Thursday! Yay! ...That's why I need to do my homework NOW. OK...must go.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...Life is good! I am so thankful that God is one of love and mercy.
School is going alright. I'm kinda tired of the whole school thing. But, I'm gonna keep on trucking because that's where I am supposed to be in my life right now. I love my job. Pre-schoolers are definatley my favorite people.
Hmm...I don't really have anything to talk about. I'm boring...but I don't care :)

1:28 pm - Major Boredom
|
I never update anymore...but I am EXTREMELY bored. Maybe I should have taken on a second job this summer because I only get a few hours a day. But oh well...I have the rest of my life to work.
I hung out with Jena and Megan C. on Saturday. It was fun times. We over-ate at Applebee's and saw a movie. Meggie picks up guys left and right because of her beautiful long hair. Hehe.
Monday was Jena's bday. I didn't feel good at all. I just watched the gals act crazy. Meg says I'm a party pooper:( That hurts my feelings. Boo hoo.
I've been trying to lose a little weight by watching what I eat...but it's almost impossible in this house. Everywhere I turn there is junk food! It's tough being me.
I will be glad when school starts. I'm SO bored!
My bday is this Saturday. That means I'm princess for a week. Not really, Andy just has some strange theories on the way girls think. But that's alright, I still like him. :)
Did I mention that I'm bored?
Stacy and Megan S., we so need to go on a walk...or 2...or 3. Help me stay away from the junk food!
Ok...I'm done.

It's so pretty out today! It's about time. I was trying to shoot basketball outside with lil Bobby but it wasnt' working out too well. He had his own pretend basket and kept saying "another point for me!" If he's gonna win by slam dunking in a basket that doesn't even exist...well then, I'm just not gonna play. That's no fair!
Bible Study tonight at our house at 7.30. Anyone is welcome. :)
I'm gonna go do some stuff before work. It's tough being me. Heh.

11:04 am - Mmmm...turkey!
|
Thanks to the few of you that commented on my last journal and said you would pray for me. Things are going better...so thanks bunches!
My new job is alright. It's just a lot different than what I'm used to. I'm used to pretty much running a classroom and doing whatever I want to do, so it's difficult to just watch someone elses class in the afternoon. But, I've already grown an attachment to the kids at towne. So if anything, it is definatley worth shining my light to my new little friends.
We had a large turn out for both of our Cru Bible studies. We are very happy about that. Our group is great! Not many young people are willing to devote part of their summer to studying.
Last Friday all my friends made fun of me for liking turkey so much. They wrote and performed songs about turkey all night. All I wanted was a turkey sandwich, and someone had eaten all of the turkey! It was devastating. Hehe.
3 more days until Andy comes home! I kinda miss him....shhh...that's a secret. ;)

I feel like quite the loser now. I only work 3 1/2 hours a day. I'm really not used to that, and now I'm bored and lazy. Grrr...on me.
I miss my kids at kindercare :(
I don't know what to do about school. I didn't make it into a cohort this semester, and I feel like I never will. Teaching is something I'm really passionate about, and I can't imagine doing anything else. Perhaps God has other plans for me.
I guess it's time to head to work.

6:24 pm - The life of a slacker...
|
Well, I've done pretty much nothing this week. I quit my job on Monday and had 2 interviews on the same day. That was pretty nice. It definatley showed me that I have people praying for me :)
Went shopping with Mikey yesterday and bought some very un-needed clothes. I just can't say "no" to the clearance rack at AE. It's a major problem.
Andy called me from Hawaii today. I'm so jealous!
I start training at Towne's daycare tomorrow. I will only be working from 2:00-6:00 everyday. My checks won't be great ...but I will have plenty of free time this summer! Yay for that. I miss hanging out with my friends and actually being in a good mood.
Hmmm....
