Unemployed

I found out due to buget cuts and the trickle down effect from the union seniority list - I will no longer have a job after June 4th (at the end of the school year). I am so so SOOOO upset and sad.

Billy Ray Cirus

This morning on the way to work at 5:15am an old song came on the radio. It was My Acky Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cirus. As dorky as that song is, I have always loved to sing along to it.

So this morning I cranked up the volume and sung my little heart out. I even put a little country twang in my voice.

I was grinning the entire time, almost laughing really.

What an awesome way to start the day!

Cement Anyone?

My head is killing me. I feel like it's full of sluggy cement. I wish I was at home snuggled up in bed with David and the animals. With some lose baggy pajamas, the fan on, and my lovely pillow.

It's going to be a long day I can tell.

Valentines Day is coming up!! Yippee. I love celebrating how much I love my husband

Welcome to Face Book

I have officially joined the millions of other people who are Face Book users! This includes one of my sisters, one of my sons, almost all of my extended family on my father's side, and my niece and nephew. Not to mention a bunch of people I went to high school with! How crazy is that??!! Sunday night I talked to a cousin of mine that I literally have not seen or talked to in at least 10 years!! It was awesome. So much better than email :)

Of course when I tried to log in last night I forgot my password so I need to get it reset today so I can get back on! And apparently there is a game called Farm Ville that I want to learn how to play. I think Nick is going to show me tonight.

Speaking of tonight, Lost premiers tonight!!!! 3 hours!!!! We are going to tape it since David has to close. We'll probably watch it Saturday night :)

And speaking of Saturday, I am working ALL DAY at our IHSA Wrestling Regionals. Fun, Fun but $75.00 is hard to walk away from!

Dinner

We are meeting my dad and his girlfriend for dinne at 5pm at Roma's. We are looking forward to it! I know the conversation will be good and while it's one of my least favorite places to eat - the food will be good too!

Dinner last night was pretty amazing and I'm saving the left-overs for tomorrow night.

The Grammy's are on late. Not sure if we'll watch it though. Depends what else is on :)

Today

Today I made myself a nice breakfast, started a pork roast, am going to make cheesecake and picked up two books from the library.

I watched a movie with the kids (but Nick fell asleep). It was Julia And Julie. I liked it :) I had rented it before but didn't watch it. My sister saw it said she loved it so I gave it another try. I'm glad I did.

Found out there is a small slight possibility I may lose my job do to budget cuts, lay-offs and the state not paying the public schools! It has alread been announced that we are going to lose or pre-school program next school year. Hasn't anyone thought about where those little ones will go?

Dream Entry #2

Dreams from last night

1. Dreamt we decided on the spur of the moment to fly to Mexico for the weekend. The kids and I were playing in the ocean and David was watching us. I remember the sand was soft under our feet, the water was active but calming at the same time. The sun was warm. I grabbed fistfuls of sand and rubbed my arms and elbows with it to make my skin soft. Outside our little bungalow we found a small cat and I wanted to keep her. The people in the bungalow next to use were famous football players. I hadn't heard of them but David had!

Dream Entry #1

For the next 7 days I'm going to record my dreams. Maybe I'll be enlightened or something.

1/28/10

1. Dreamed David was cheating on me with the mother of one of the boys friends. We were fightening and I was trying to get him to leave the lady's house and he wouldn't. He just didn't care how much I was hurting. I finally got mad and said if he was going to do this to me than I was going to go do the same thing. That seemed to have gotten his attention

2. Dreamed my dead Aunt was alive.

3. Dreamed we were in our old house and that David wanted strawberries on a chicken I was going to roast. Dreamt the tattoo I have on my foot was actually on my chest and I was skinny. I was going to wear a cute summer shirt that would show it off. Dreamt I decided to not go to work but forgot to call in until later that morning. I made up a lie that I was up all night with cramps in my toes and that they were still cramping and I couldn't walk.

Cancelling New Life Change #1

I tried it and I don't want to do it. I feel bad giving up but I DID try it. That being said though, I've only had 3 cups of coffee since then (unlike about 10 that I normally would have had by now).

I'm feeling kind of blah right now :( Don't know why.

Frankie begged to go in the van today when I took Robert to work so we let him and he ended up making a poo in the back area!! So GROSS!! My whole van smelled!

I have enjoyed the 2 snow days we had on Thursday and Friday but it's going to make getting up early tomorrow morning very hard. I'm not looking forward to it.

I need to call my dad to make arrangements to see him for Christmas but I can't get anyone's scheduled to match up! How frustrating.

Right now I'm deciding what to make for dinner, I'm thinking pork steaks cooked in oven, corn and something else that I can find in the pantry ...

Heat Wave

It was 3 out when I got to work a half hour ago. It's now 5 degrees. It's a heat wave folks.

New Life Change #1

I'm committed to no longer using sugar in my coffee or drinking sweet tea. I actually like tea without sugar so that shouldn't be hard to comply with. The coffee one though, I love sugar in my coffee. I am vowing to switch to artificial sweeteners.

I'm diabetic so sugar is a HUGE no-no. Cutting out sugar from my coffee is a big step and once I've mastered this eliminating sugar from other things hopefully will be a little bit easier.

I started this change today.
