New jobs, new thoughts, new ideas, some in control, some overwhelming, some good, some ugly....

some days there is time enough


other days need more hours

here I sit enjoying the solitude of wind chimes and lawn-mowing neoghbors.

Coming Around

I had the most wonderfull compliment last night. I am being recommended for a most remarkable job. Whether or not it happens will remain to be seen, but I've got to say, I'm flattered.

I just noticed...

...I have reconnected almost exactly two years to the date of my last entry. What could it mean?

HELLO!!!

Oh joy of all joys!! I have found my old blogs and have renewed my desire to write! I have so much to say that I don't know if I can say it all. I am so excited to have found my book list and my travel spot. I wonder why I stopped writing in the first place! It is good to know that I can pick up where I left off. Well, I must comment on my recent trip.

Well now,

I just rattled and prattled and wasted 10 minutes only to have my work erased. Annoyed. Will try again tomorrow.

Memorial Day

Wow! I never expect my posts to be so far apart. I wonder how people do this on a daily basis. I also wonder how people find blogs to read daily and how on earth do they wind up getting their blogs published?

Much has happened since my last entry. Mom will be here over the 4th of July. I'm so excited! She hasn't been here since the wedding. I guess she's averaging once every 2 years. We'll be going to Key West. She'll be paying for the hotel. We'll get the one in Key Largo. Anyway, she'll have an opportunity to see her grandcats.

I accepted a job...Well, I will be accepting a job tomorrow with Bright Futures Academy...A charter school in Palm Beach Gardens. Although it is a teaching assistant position, I think it's going to be a great experience. The pay is lousy and there are no benefits, but I see it as a year long paid student teaching position. And I will be keeping my full time job. That in itself has it's pros and cons. I'm not really ready to give up Channel 5 yet. Strange, isn't it? I guess I've become comfortable there. It's tough to cut the apron strings. On the other hand, I'm forced to work there until next August. I don't like to be forced to do anything.

I guess I need to discuss Chelsea. What is my aggravation with her? She's so young. I suppose I am trying to get her to take risks. Get out on her own. Get off the tit. It frustrates me to watch. She is nearly an adult, yet acting like she's 16. I guess she has the right since she dropped out of school. Nope, no excuse. If you drop out of school, you should have to make your own way. Would I be a tough parent? Would my kids be hanging on? I don't think Tom's kids would.

Alright. Off the Chelsea subject.

We are going to buy some land somewhere. I guess right now it will be in northwest Florida. Later I guess it will be in Tennessee. I need to talk to Cheryl and find out where Brad is and if the area is nice.

Guess I will do that now.

Ah...The South Beach diet. One last complaint before I go. Tom lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks. His belly is thinner and I am so proud of him. I have lost about one. I feel better. I'm glad to be changing my eating habits. I still would have liked to lose weight. I wonder what happened? I guess I never ate a lot before. It was just what I was eating. So now I have to do what I knew I would have to do all along....Exercise to lose weight. So I ran a 15 minute mile yesterday. Need to get it to 12. That's all I got.
