| it's one of those dreary, blah kind of days I feel like I'm on a roller coaster with these up and down spring teasing days. One day it's nice and warm and my mood is soaring...and the next I am freezing cold and it's rainy and I don't feel like doing a thing.
I've been stuck on the computer all afternoon looking up grad schools and jobs... I still haven't signed my contract much to my director's dismay--but I'm just not sure whether I should work half days and make literally half the pathetic pay I'm already making and then take out a huge loan to take classes in the afternoons...or do I just want to stay working full days and end up "baby-sitting" every afternoon and holiday and never getting a lunch break again?? I really really want to start working on my dream job of being a reading specialist...but I am totally broke so it's kind of scary taking out another loan on top of our mortgage! hmm I am trying to depend on God and keep praying...he knows the plan  So Josh & I are quite the landscapers now...we spend our free time raking and planting seeds. It should be interesting to see how our backyard looks this summer! Josh & I went to see Crimson Flood last night...his cousin is in the band and they were really good! It was a great "cheap" date...we also went to the new Super Giant together the other night and loaded up on groceries because we had practically nothing left in the fridge- it definitely wasn't cheap but hopefully it will last us awhile! "and I promise you you'll see the sun again..."  throw my hands up in the air...i want to run to You
 wow...these are adorable and cute summer shoes!

| i've got cabin feverI've been at home cooped up in bed for almost a week now and it's killing me......I feel like I'm going crazy and yet it is just now that I can get up and do something without feeling completely dizzy and faint. I'm eating my first real human food (well- some people would call salad human food instead of rabbit food ) instead of the fluid and crackers diet that I've been on. I've sucked down every drinkable thing in our fridge and am now starting to feel myself again. I feel sorry for the kiddos who got this flu thing...because I was miserable and I'm 23. I knew I would get it...I've been catching everything this year it seems. I never thought I'd be so excited to get back to work...I miss my little Kindergarteners and I hope that everything hasn't fallen apart in my absence- at least I gave Lizzy Ann a little "real-life" practice before her student teaching since she subbed for me!
I just made a lovely little dinner for a couple at Chelten who just had a second child...it was so much fun, making food and not having to eat it...and I am hoping to make some new friends in the process. I still don't feel settled in here like I did in Lancaster. Philly people just don't seem as friendly sometimes. 
The blue bomber is gone...I'm surprised Josh didn't cry...so many memories 
well...I've got to go think up some K things to bring into school- ketchup, kangaroos, koalas (aww it makes me miss the Aussie outback!)
"Let me fall in two
Wide as a river and spread as thin
What it could start and no one would finish
Bottled up frowning treaties or what they would..." -guster

| 2008...
a new year, and my mood has been up and down so many times, but right now I'm waiting and hoping for spring to come...I need the sunshine!
School is going well...I have successfully completed 1 year of teaching and now I must say that it is much easier than it was before...however if anyone still thinks teaching is easy- they're completely wrong! It's definitely a long day and I still have no lunch break. I am so proud of my little Kindergarteners...I am so excited for my favorite part coming up in April- the baby chicks!! Anyway, I have completely given up hope of finding a public school teaching job in the Philly area...it's hopeless for a new teacher to get a job in grades K-3 in a public suburban school.
I have a sweet new car now...it was my grandfather's silver Taurus and it's been a nice upgrade from my Grand Am.
So...my sis moved out and is living in York. I'm going to see her next weekend and I'm looking forward to that!
I have been going to a lot of wrestling tournaments at Penn and with Penn...it's fun being a coach's wife!
Well, I have to get to bed...I have to look over my Sunday School lesson and I spent way too long setting up a new facebook account since Josh finally let me have one again!

We had a "birthday party for Jesus" today at school...the kids were hyped up on sugar and candy canes 
going back to L-town tomorrow- I'm getting a sweet silver Ford Taurus on Saturday!!
