Where are we?

Summer is already flying by. The kids just got out of school June 7th, we've already knocked out a week of "Summer Camp" and Todd's birthday has come and gone.

My team won our first bout! We beat the Onslow County Derby Dames with a score of 238-50, I believe. It was amazing and has totally inspired me to keep with it and work harder. I can't wait to work harder and bout again. It was already my goal to jam more, but I'm going to start working on  being an aggressive jammer, a double threat of sorts. I may not be the fastest person on the track, but I want to be effective anywhere they put me. So that's what's next for me.

My goal this summer was to take my Praxis tests so I could get a job in the school system this fall and I'm starting to get a little worried about all that... but we'll see. I've already applied to like 8 jobs in the school system. Next is to register (and pay for) the tests and hope I pass. :\ And also get copies of my transcripts to the School Board just in case I could do a lateral entry thing and take the Praxis later. I just hope it all works out. Or I can find another good job come fall. I just think my time at the daycare is coming to a close, and I'm ready to close that chapter. I'm also not a fan of waiting tables, although I do enjoy the money... but I'd like to make enough money from one job, so that I don't need to work 2.

But things are much better and they are going to continue to go that way, because we're working hard for what we want and that's all that matters.

I'm still loving the house - it's so beautiful and I just love it so much. I can't believe it's ours. Things are finally falling into place for us. :) I'm just going to keep working hard, keep a positive attitude and make things happen for us.

A few things...

I'm a fan of fresh flowers on the kitchen table. Harris Teeter has good deals on them too for when we don't make it to the Farmer's Market.

I don't understand what joy people get out of being mean or cruel to others. It sickens me. Disgusting.

I don't understand how someone can completely drop off the face of the Earth, despite all of your best efforts.

How do you find time for everything you want to do?

How do you fix regrets? (For instance, not finishing art school?)

How come some people seem to have it so easy, while others struggle just for a sense of normalcy?

Plants vs. Zombies is a very addicting game.

I like cooking but I don't like cleaning up afterwards and I'm not good at cleaning as I go.

I hate putting away laundry. Laundry sucks.

My photography has 100% fallen to the back burner of everything else going on in my life. I have photos on my SD card in my camera from MONTHS ago that I still haven't transferred and edited. It's making me incredibly sad.


That's all for now - good  day! :)
