I have got to find a new and better job and quit the nursery! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my kids that I have on a regular basis, but it's the other workers.... You see I mainly work with these 3 older ladies who are typically pretty nice to me. One of them is always nice she couldn't be mean if she tried. The other two are constantly talking down to me and making me do EVERYTHING. Granted one of them is 92 she can't do a lot but if you can't do the job then retire and let someone else who can. I am not trying to be ugly at all but she can't do a lot of the things that need to be done. I constantly hear "Katie, I think someone has a dirty diaper" translation "Katie, change the dirty diaper". I just get worn out and tired of stopping what I'm doing to do something she wants me to do while she's sitting there! I know I shouldn't be complaining but in the past week I have been at the church everynight and today I was there for 8 hours. I'm just tired physically and emotionally. I just would like a job where I sit in a room by myself and enter things in the computer maybe answer some phone calls, but that doesn't require a lot of human interaction. Is that so much to ask?!?! I know I'd probably get sick of that too because I love people and talking way too much but as of tonight...that's what I want! Seriously though....every person who isn't married that ever considers having sex should have to work in my place a few times. Then they'd NEVER have sex because we all know that it leads to babies and while they are cute they are not easy!
I think I'm finally becoming a little more patient! I know I have a long way to go but I am doing so much better. I sat in a room today with 8 kids ages 2-4 and only had to raise my voice like 3 times because they were fighting over things. It wasn't as bad as it normally was...I think I'm beginning to overlook more things. I sure hope so....
I seriously have the coolest and greatest friends in the world!
Ok these are my a few of my great friends! These are who I consider to be my best friends! The ones I can call anytime to talk to about anything....they really are the greatest! They rock!!!
Amanda and I saw Definitely, Maybe the other night and I highly recommend it! It was so cute...we both loved it. I was kind of nervous about it because of Ryan Reynolds but he did a great job! So go see it!
Just when I think I have things figured out God throws 100 more things my way. He has the best sense of humor and is constantly reminding me of it. The things that you pray for and long for He will test you on. The big thing for me is patience (because I have none) and boy does He test me on that. I get scared whenever I pray for patience because of not knowing what He is going to throw at me. I have however learned that it's how I handle it that matters and even when I don't handle it too well, He will try something else. He truly is a funny God!
"The end of a matter is better than its beginning. So it's better to be patient than proud. Don't become angry quickly. Anger lives in the hearts of foolish people."
I cannot begin to describe how well the past few months have been for me. When I signed into my account tonight I realized that I hadn't updated since June (that's 8 months for those of you who can't count). So let me fill you in....
I had decided during the summer that I wanted to take a break from school, so I did. I took off last semester and again this semester. I have decided now that I will go back in the fall and take 2 or 3 online courses in order to avoid the drive into Baton Rouge. Then once I finish that semester I may try and go back full time. It will all depend on what courses I still need. I can only get my associates at BRCC and I'm definitely not far from that at all. Then after the associates I will decide where to go from there. I am currently a business major (only because it seemed logical at the time I had to declare a major). The truth is I have no idea what God wants me to do for the rest of my life. So I will just continue to pray about it and hope that He answers soon!
I took a trip to New York City in December and I just absolutely love that city! My friend Jen's parents moved to New Jersey back in July so she and I went for a visit. Everything there was gorgeous! Christmas is my most favorite time of the year and being in a city where you see Christmas everywhere is so fun! I would never want to live in NYC but I love to visit there and should be going back in October of this year for a wedding....I'm so excited! For Christmas we had all of our family here and it was so great to have everyone together again! We got a Wii for Christmas and I'm in LOVE! I never knew video games could be so much fun!
2008 is flying by! I cannot believe that it is already February 24! This year is going to be another amazing year full of changes for me. Two of my best friends are getting married and it makes me sad and glad all at the same time! I just can't believe that I have friends old enough to be married...lol! I'm looking forward to this year and seeing what God has in store for me. I am going to be a chaperone for youth camp this year again. Last year we had a blast and I enjoyed getting to know some of the youth better so I can't wait for this year! Knowing how much camp meant to me when I was in youth makes me want the same for our youth now. Last year we had a couple of kids surrender to the ministry while we were there and I just enjoy seeing God work through the youth so much! It should be a lot of fun!
So I realize this blog was super long and boring but I felt like blogging and I had a lot to blog about! I could've gone on and on but I made myself stop in order to get some sleep! Goodnight and if you have made it this far in the blog, I salute you!
