A day off...

The thing I like best about being in Kansas and working for the school here is that we are out of school all the time. Actually its not that great because we do have to make it up. But today is one of those days that we have off. The Tulsa State Fair is going on and we have a day set aside to go. Nice huh? Althought we are not going this year.

We lost a very dear friend of our a few days ago. He lost his battle with cancer. Even though Mack was 82 he acted like a kid. Always laughing and making jokes. He was very special to me. He was also one of Jimmy's best friends. They always had a lot to talk about. Mack would talk to anyone! He was amazing. His service will be tomorrow. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

Oh So Busy...

It has been 10 days since my last post. I have been very busy. Thanks a lot Amber for introducing me to Amazon. That has kept me so busy. I average about 2 books a day. It is fun and easy.

I hope everyone is doing well...who am I kidding, no one reads this!!!

My first sale....

I had my first sale on Amazon.com. Actually I sold 2 books. I was the easiest thing ever. I can't wait to list more. I made a whopping $8. The way I see it, thats $8 more dollars than I had! Im excited!

My Hobby of online selling

Well, Amber I followed your advice and listed a bunch of books on Amazon. I finally got Jimmy off his duff (just kidding honey) and had him go through the enormous task of cleaning out his book shelf. We have everything from soccer to Max Lucado to Spaceballs. Its quite easy. My mom sold her first book the other day and made $5. She was very excited.
I made a trip to the Grove thrift store and hit the mother load! I bought about $200 worth of Gap and The Children's Place clothes for little boys. I cant wait to get them listed.
Maybe I will strike it rich...DOUBTFUL!

Labor Day Dinner

Well, we had a great Labor Day dinner with my parents. Dad grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. My mom made potato salad and I made baked beans which I found repulsive! We always have a great time.

I also love taking pictures of my moms dog Oliver. He is the most photogenic dog I have ever seen. He loves to smile.

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!
