I don't I think I've formally mentioned this here yet, but we are officially moving to Portland, Oregon in exactly 8 weeks.  A decision very hard to make, however I think we will be more likely to build the future we want there.   Financially, it's the best option.  If we were to stay here I think I would persue an Assistant Director position, but ( Read more... )

I finally got to wear the purple heals I bought with Ash in Vegas a year and half ago, last night.  These shoes are metallic purple with fancy beading along the top, down to the pointy toe.  They really go with nothing I have, however, I am currently unable to wear any of the "dressy" clothes I own due to my horrific weight gain, and so last night ( Read more... )

The drive up to Portland sucked.  We got stuck in LA traffic for 5 1/2 hours.  It took us nearly 24 hours to get up there.  Everyone kept saying (including my director) "you should leave earlier."  Well you know what?  I don't get paid for the holiday if I take a full day off before.  So I took my half day and didn't lose 3.  I am poor, I need to ( Read more... )

I really got on a roll posting everyday, until my hard drive crashed!  That really just put the icing on my cake last week, especially after losing Chrissie.  This week has been better, despite having to come in early every day (at least I'm getting paid over time for it).  My boss is being all pessimistic about finding someone before xmas--she's ( Read more... )

I am now without a co-teacher.  She was let go this evening, 5 minutes before we closed.  I helped her pack her things, walked her out to her car, and hugged her, leaving with a promise to meet for coffee in a few weeks.  I can't believe this has happened.  Having respect for the owner is hard to come by, yet you have to pretend she's the most ( Read more... )

The first thing my co-teacher said to me this morning when I walked in the door "Just to warn you, I'm probably going to be fired in the next few minutes."  She had given one child's bottle of breast milk to another. Thus begun my day.  As of this evening she still has her job, however, from what I can tell the owner has not yet heard the news ( Read more... )

I said god damn I'm tired.  For the last month I've been having such a hard time sleeping.  I'm exhausted during the day, but when it's time for bed I don't feel the slightest bit tired.  I end up staying up until at least midnight, if not later (one night I went to bed at 3 am).  It's an awful cycle.  Tonight I'm feeling tired enough that I should ( Read more... )

I've been really moody this weekend.  A bit odd considering I just finished my second period in a row (woo hoo). Which reminds me, I really need to make a gyno appt now that I have health insurance. I am a very lucky woman to have a man who handles my mood swings so gracefully.

I've decided to get my life (and home and car and work) organized.  I' ( Read more... )
