Heading to HOTLANTA for the week. Be back soon! | | |
| It is late in the night for me, 10:30...okay, early for some but for me I am usually dead tired. But I am not and my mind is going at full speed. So I thought I would read some blogs and hope that would help me get tired...Not that you all are boring or anything, but maybe looking at the computer long enough will make me sleepy.
I have been having this odd desire to want to return to work, teaching to be exact. My plan in to not go back until Jake starts Kindergarten which is in another year. This year he will be in pre K for three days a week, mornings only. I thought about going and subbing those three days but there are a few problems with that. I would have to find someone to watch him in the afternoons and pay them so it is worth their effort to go and pick him up, feed him and deal with him being tired. I have a friend who is interested but she hasn't told me how much. School does not start until 8:15 I think. So I would have to rely on my neighbor to take him to school in the mornings, plus let him hang out for about a half hour before leaving for school because I would have to leave to go sub probably by 7:30. I am sure she would not mind, but I don't want her to feel I am taking advantage of her, so I would have to do extra nice stuff for her, like watch her kids once in a while or buy her lunch..not a bad deal. Subbing does not pay much so paying for day care may not be worth it. I also really wanted to use that time when Jake is in school to go and work out at the gym. I have to loose weight and finding the time right now is hard.Yes, I know excuses, excuses but it is. I want to go back to teaching for a few reasons...I am actually missing it. I am not sure when we will be moving from here so I am beginning to think maybe I need to get my foot in the door through subbing and start working on getting certified in Texas. I dread the exams I would have to take, but I can do it.
What I really would like to do this year is find something I could do at home, at my time, and still make a little bit of money. It doesn't have to be much, but I always hear about those people who work at home. I have looked into a few jobs that I have seen advertised for working at home, but they have all had some kind of gimmick behind them, where you have to shell out some money in order to make some money...no thanks.
So if your looking for a highly motivated, organized, quick learner to do some work for you at my house, I am your girl! Maybe I should just open a day care in my house...Ummm...maybe not, I think I would have to be desperate for money, and I am not, before I did something like that. My head is hurting already just thinking about all the extra noise that would be added to my house by doing that!
Alright it is even later now, so I think I will go read some blogs, and surf the net a bit and then try to close my eyes and go to sleep.
Night night. | | |
| Fourteen Years!Today is our anniversary. Fourteen years of wedded bliss! Who would have thought that we would still be having so much fun?

| I am at my friends house doing her open house, she is out of town and trying to sell the house. While I wait, and wait, and wait for a potential buyer to come and snoop through her house I thought I would blog. My computer is finished. We will be buying a new one sometime in the future. We have insurance so I am waiting to here back from them. Anyway, my friend has a nice size monitor. Not sure of the size, but the pictures on everyone's blogs look awesome. Bob and I will have to discuss this monitor size more intently.
Alright, I stole this from Cyndee's site. It looked like fun, and I really do not have much to blog about so I took it. Feel free to be a theif too!

| I am so frustrated. Yesterday when I tried to get on the computer, I could not even get the tower to turn on. We had a thunderstorm the night before but I am not sure that caused the problem. I have a lap top that my son stepped on so the picture is distorted. I hate how small the key board is. I am constantly messing up. So I may not be around for a bit. Gateway is giving me a run around with support. All I want is an authorized tech to look at it so that I can see if insurance will cover it. But they tell me to call this number and someone can help me. Then that someone says oh you need to call this number. We bought the computer at a military base store (AAFES for all you savy military folks) so Gateway keeps telling me this computer is registered as a business computer because it says military on it! And to think, I liked Gateway. So frustrating. Hope to be back soon. Take care. | | |
