I have not blogged in a while so I feel that I need to catch up. Thanksgiving was great and surprisingly quite drama free. I loved getting to see the babies. We took them to get pictures taken with Santa. They are totally fans of his. I think this is the first year Kali did not cry, I tend to think it is really funny when children cry st the sight of Santa, but the picture was precious anyway. Too bad it is such a rip off. We only bought two pictures. They rape you on the prices!
It snowed in Louisiana the other day. I was woken up at like 6 with a
call from my mom after a night of nightmares. It scared the shit out of me. She said "you wont believe..." as I prepared myself for the horrible news I thought was about to come out of her mouth she then said "it is snowing". I was beyond
jealous for several reasons: 1. I missed Kali and Sara's first sight of snow. 2. I missed the snow. 3. I had already had a shitty week at work and was feeling homesick and this
did not help. 4. It was 73 and rainy in shitty Florida! So, like I said, I was not a happy camper as I drove to work getting pictures of the snow and listening to
Christmas music in my car trying to pretend it was cold outside.
Last week was probably one of the worst weeks I have had at work. I worked until like 7 or 8 every night. I am swamped and it
doesn't look
like it will
get better. I
don't know if I was
PMSing or if I am just in the mindset of "I am leaving in three months". I cant wait to get into teaching. When I hear teachers bitching about their jobs it makes me want to throw up in my mouth. They have no idea how good they have it. Either that or they just have no idea how bad other people have it. I will
definitely appreciate the hours, vacations, and not having to look poverty,
despair, helplessness, and criminals in the face
every day. I think my job is slowly depressing me, and I am not a depressed person. I will stop complaining now.
Today was very nice. I went to Target which makes me happy. I got Sara's
xmas presents. I got her some play dough, a
finger painting kit, and some outfits that I know she will look too cute in. Then I went to Flavors, my
fav. They had a new soup today which also made me happy. I am beginning to think I am a loner because I was in my own happy little bubble sitting alone people watching and enjoying the weather and good food. I did not realize how much I liked being alone until I moved here. Then I drove around downtown a little just looking at all the gorgeous decorations. Lastly I went to my
fav nail salon and got the best manicure I have ever had from Tiger. (Jenn I took you there). I sometimes feel like I am going to really miss this place. Jacksonville is the only thing that ruins my perception of how much I love it. They boat parade is downtown tonight and I might talk Nick into going. And.... My best Florida friend got engaged last night!!! She came by the nail place to show me her ring with is fabulous. I
don't think I have ever been so excited for someone, they are going to be so happy. And they may stay in St. Aug so
it will give me an excuse to visit.
I have a new nephew also! Brian and Alecia had their big baby on Thursday and despite the snow, everyone made it. I saw pictures and he is really cute, and I
don't just say that!
I also sent off my application for the teacher program like two weeks ago so say a little prayer for me!
Thanks to Jordin I found the best book ever........ Are You There Vodka?, It's Me Chelsea. I laugh my ass off with every chapter. It is highly recommended.
I CANT WAIT TO BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!! I have been listening to Christmas music non stop lately.
Yay for family! I miss
yall!
