updates...

It's odd, how busy life gets when you want more free time and how slow it feels when you are bored.  So, I've accomplished my goal of filling up all the time that I was wasting on thinking: I'm overweight, underpaid, and bored.  Here's how I did it...

•  Got a Job at the Kitchen Company (a gadget and food accessory superstore)
• Took on instruction of a Saturday SAT prep course (can you believe it?)
• Replaced a reading teacher at the college, who left 3 courses in the middle of the semester
• Lost my bag at the library (went through the whole fiasco of trying to replace all of it's contents, and then have it returned the next night)
• Quit the job at the Kitchen store
• Help plan Will's dad's "un-birthday/family reunion" party (cleaning, food, games, and kids)
• Help Will's sister move out of her house
• Deal with kitty-allergies (finally, got some meds at the k-mart clinic)
• Got paid (after working for 10 weeks!)

It makes me tired just thinking about all that's expired in the last few weeks!  However, the silver lining is that I still get to be with the love of my life, his family and friends and I know all of my family and friends are waiting in the wings. 

I also have found a great job (although challenging most of the time).  I get to teach (most days) and that keeps me going.  I may not be teaching the content that I enjoy or in the environment of my choice, but I am happy that I am helping students understand and putting a smile on their faces.  Even if it's not all of their faces, all of the time...I know that they are learning and it's getting better all the time!
