Where did we leave off? :)
We're moved into our new home! I love Love LOVE it. It's beautiful and perfect for us. We're about 90% unpacked and ready to have some summer get togethers.
I hadn't been to derby practice since our Rogue Bout on April 21st, and last night I was finally able to go and it was pretty awesome. I missed it a lot.
I'm working 2 jobs now - still teaching at Childcare Network, which will be a fun-filled summer of field trips, swimming and movie trips - and Thursday through Sunday nights, I'm waiting tables at Annabelle's. So far, it's really helping bridge the gap in our finances, so it's worth it.
In the past week, I've applied to almost 10 jobs within the school district, so fingers crossed. I should be taking the Praxis in July if I can afford the damn test! There's 2 I need to take, for $130 a piece, so yeah. We also both need new tires on both of our vehicles, so trying to manage priorities is difficult. New tires for safety and not enough money for the test, or test so we can make more money and buy tires whenever we want? lol. OK, it's not really that bad, we'll figure it all out. We always do.
We have a bout coming up June 9th at Galaxy of Sports in Kinston. We're playing the Jacksonville team, so that's going to be awesome. I'm excited to play a team that's more on our level and less getting our asses kicked for sport.
Lucy ran away. I can't believe I didn't mention that in my last post. It was the weekend we had Jerry for his Spring Break.. she ran away that Saturday night (April 14th), and I had to take Jerry home that Sunday afternoon. I did everything I could possibly think of. I put posters everywhere. Animal shelters, vets, pet stores, around town, internet... I got a lot of calls, tips, thought-they-saw-hers, but they were all dead ends. At this point, all I can do is hope that she's safe and okay and that someone took her in innocently and somehow missed all the posters and my newspaper ad and desperate pleas for my dog. I miss her so much. I msis the way she used to stand next to the couch, put her head on your lap and fall asleep nearly standing up, slowly inching herself on the couch so you wouldn't notice. I miss how she was actually a DOG, unlike Ben, who is an insane person trapped inside a dog's body, cursed for some crime in a past life. Lucy was 100% dog. She would chase balls for hours, walk good on a leash, come back when called, simple and loyal and sweet. I miss her so much.
Well, I need to get some sleep. Tomorrow's Friday and due to a scheduling error, I have tomorrow night off where I'd normally be at Annabelle's. Not sure how I'm going to enjoy it yet!
