The life of a mother is never dull. However, finding time to actually sit down and write about my own personal thoughts and feeling comes few and far between. I spend more time cleaning spilled milk and poopy diapers than I do on my own peace of mind lately. At the moment, I am sick, just began a new long term substitute teaching position (which is ( Read more... )

Last weekend, we had a blast! Friday was my birthday and after lunch with Rachel, I met up with my old college classmates! It was good to see everyone and see how many of their lives have progressed in the year since we all graduated together! Friday night, Patrick went out to play Magic and do his thing. Megan came over and we had a double feature ( Read more... )

Waiting
Life passes by
Trees get taller
Children get older
Love grows stronger
Life passes by

People around me
Have babies
Have dinner
Have a life of their own
People around me
Life passes by

Constantly waiting
Waiting for jobs
Waiting for paychecks
Waiting for life
Constantly waiting

So, I've totally abandoned this place and figured now's as good a time as any! Well, my husband lost his job, all plans of more kiddos and anything else future-related have to be put on hold, we have lost our insurance, neither of us have many hopeful job prospects, etc. Just writing this all down is getting me a tad depressed! Let's think about ( Read more... )

It's been a while, so I'm backtracking a bit. Patrick had his week-long vacation! We didn't go anywhere, but we enjoyed some well deserved alone time! We had an actual date night! Megan came over to watch the boy, and we went out to eat! It was great to just be alone...even if the only thing we could talk about was our love at home playing with ( Read more... )

It has been too long since I last updated! Not much has happened since the Braves game, really. We had a pretty boring week after the game! Then, the weekend came and Patrick worked. Sunday, Patrick was off and we spent some family time together. Those are definitely my favorite parts of the week! Later, Patrick went to the grocery store and got ( Read more... )

What a great weekend! I spent Saturday washing clothes at my parent's house since our washer is STILL on the fritz! We spent some time outside, Cullen played in his swing, and we were busy planning for Sunday's cookout for my dad's birthday! When I got home, I got a phone call from Patrick. He told me to call the family and ask if they wanted to ( Read more... )

Me finding a job seems to be the cornerstone to so many things: paying off some credit cards, getting a new car, expanding our family, etc. I had a doctor's appointment this week and things are in the works so that we should be able to start trying for baby #2 around July or August. However, this can only happen if I sign a contract with a school ( Read more... )

I had the best chat with an old friend today! Juliane lives halfway across the globe right now and I miss our old times together. The trip to New York, Gatlinburg, lunches at Krystals, and OH Spanish class with Professor Hottie :) We've made many beautiful memories together and I feel like we were just kids back then. We've both gotten married ( Read more... )

...was pretty discouraging! There were HUNDREDS of teachers there vying for the twelve measly positions available. Hopefully I impressed the principals I interviewed with...but my hopes are not high! I do not have all my eggs in one basket though. I have also emailed principals in other counties expressing my interest (READ - BEGGING) in positions ( Read more... )
