What to do? That is the golden question...

Why is making a career change so hard? Its not like I have done it a million times! I have only had a few jobs in my life. I am dying to figure out if I want to do medical transcription or medical billing. I am so confused. It seems like I'm leading more to the one that seems less hard. But I really want to do the one that seems harder. I'm overwhelmed...I don't care which one...I just want a job I can do at home. I want to be able to make more money. I will never make money doing the job I have now although I don't work at the school to make money! HAHA...that's a joke. No seriously...I love the kids, I love having the summers off but I why not have a job that I can do in my pj's?
I'm rambling I know...please help if you have any suggestions!

Im ready for a day off!!!

No matter how much I love my job I can't wait for that 1st holiday off. I have looked forward to September 1st since August 11th. I am worn out, tired and just want to lounge in my favorite cut off sweats and a big t-shirt!
We have been pretty busy. Vacation Bible School took up so much time. Although I probably did the least work in my family. It was still a tough job.
I have been cleaning out closets and listing stuff on eBay. I suppose you could call that my new hobby. I used to sell stuff a long time ago but I have so much stuff I could get rid of. I find it relaxing.
Alex is doing good with her online high school. I'm a bad mom though. I found out she could have started August 7th. So she has a lot of catching up to do. She loves being able to instant message her teachers whenever she wants.She is about a month away from her getting her drivers permit! She is a good driver but she doesn't get to drive alot, just to the trash dumpster and post office. She kinda hugs the corners!
Well, I suppose I will start getting ready for work. I'm going to try and do better about blogging. Love you all!

My Week...

I had every intention on posting this week but I have been so tired and worn out. My first week at school was pretty good. I didn't do a whole lot. Sometimes doing nothing is pretty tiring. Since I don't have to take Alex to school I can sleep till 7:00 a.m. which I love.
Jimmy has been keeping the house clean. He is wonderful! My laundry is done. My sheets are clean and I don't have to go searching for clean underwear or a towel.
Alex and I got our hair cut today. By the time we were done it looked like a dog was laying on the ground. It feels so good to have it off my neck. Alex's was the most drastic change. Not only because of the cut, we colored it red, more of a very golden brown. But she looks great!
I'm ready for my weekend!

My last day...

I cant believe that this is my last day before going back to work. I am going to have to get up and shower before 11:00 am. I am going to miss being here with Jimmy and Alex. Although I am looking forward to being on a schedule again. A new school year means the weather will be changing into fall which is my favorite time of year.
Wish me luck!

Ready for bed...



I had a really great day. We started out going to my parents to do yard work. Dad is still recovering from surgery. Jimmy never got the weed eater started so we just sat and talked for 2 hours. It was really nice talking about our future and everything. My parents are so supportive and love us so much. This adventure in the ministry is hard sometimes but my parents always have good advice.
We ended up going to lunch and hanging out.
We finished the day working on V.B.S. stuff and going to church.
I am really sad because I only have 2 says of summer break left! I want to be a stay at home wife...How do I do that?

Who wants free dog food?

Well, my days have been pretty boring. I went to town today! Came home...took a very short siesta. I made a chocolate pecan cheesecake. I found a recipe in my new Rachel Ray magazine I wanted to try. I was very excited until I found no chili powder in my spices. Now I'm trying to figure out what I am going to cook for my lovely family.



Oh yeah...I saved $36.00 at my favorite store Walgreen's! I also in my daily task of looking for freebies. I found this on the Internet (I know, I'm pitiful) http://www.startsampling.com/sm/100323/captureAddress.iphtml?item=100323&source=



Its a coupon for a free bag of Iams dog food.
ENJOY!!!

My day...


I had a great day! I got to spend the morning with Kasey. We went to yard sales. I found a really cool quilt and some chairs for outside. Alex got some silly t-shirts.

I started rereading a book... The Lovely Bones. It is an amazing book. Its about a 14 year old girl who is murdered. She is watching her family from heaven. She narrates the story. In late 2009 it is going to be made into a movie. I cant wait!


Thats about all I did today...nothing exciting! I did take this really cute picture of my cat Zoi.

I loved this...

OK so maybe The Body Farm wasn't such a good idea. I didn't sleep well and my cat kept scaring me. But I did find this online this morning and thought it was a hoot. I am a big animal lover. I feel like Big Butter....
