Times are Changing

Well, times are changing for sure around here... I have applied for a new job. Sigh. Well, actually, I have applied for a few new jobs. We will see what happens... Not that I mind driving bus, but it was never my dream job. I started so that the kids were not raised in daycare and so they were with either myself for the hubby for the majority of their days til school. Then school started and the 5 yrs until V started kindergarten seemed to have flown by. I stuck with it since it worked with all our schedules.

Now it is 8 yrs later. Eight years!!! My, how times flies when your having fun, huh? Between the two of us, the hubby and I have decided it's time to get back to something I somewhat enjoy doing. There was a lot of strife going on this last school year. Issues I can not get into. And there was a lot of stress. I so needed the summer off, for sure. So, I have somethings in the works and we will see what pans out this next coming week.

Since today is the 14th, we have 17 days til school starts. Not a lot of time to make changes.

There are other changes going on within the family, but that is for another time.

M is starting 4th grade this year. WOW!!! 4th Grade!!! My little girl is growing up so fast and before I know it, she will be wanting the keys for the car and Tom is going to be having aneurysms about teaching her. Guess that may just fall to me.

V is starting 3rd grade and we will see how he handles it. I know that starting a new job just as school is starting isn't optimal, but it is what it is...

On to new things!

I have started taking better care of ME... I have started looking at what I love and what I like to do. Started eating better and eating to live, not living to eat as it seemed to be. I have lost a total of 16 lbs this summer which isn't a lot, but it's a bit more than 1 lb a week. Right where I want to be since this is something I want to keep off and not continue to yo-yo back and forth.

So, I will try and check online for a weight tracker to post on here along w/my Breaking Dawn Counter. I Can't Wait!!! Have I said that yet??? LOL!!! I love the books! They take me back to my H.S. love of books and just make me go to a happy place when reading them. I am so an enabler to anyone who shows even a minute amount of interest in maybe reading them. I am right there with my books saying, "Take mine! I will share!"

I will also try and get my photos updated. Finally found my cord for the battery charger for my camera. So the majority of my pix are on my cell. Have to get them off and onto a disk and onto here.

Well, Tom is snoring away on the chair watching something about 9-11 and it's so interesting that it is starting to put me to sleep. I know that if I try and turn it off, that he will wake up, poof! So, off to searching for my tracker and working on other things to get done.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!!!
