Long Time, No Post!

It's been too long since I've updated my blog! My new job is going good! It's been three months, so we are getting along well. I am getting used to working with kids in such a close fashion. I knew I would be a natural at it, but it's nerve wrecking since it's been so long since I babysat. I was scared they were going to be brats, but they are such good kids! I have enjoyed doing part time, afternoon work, so my mornings are free! I am going to start volunteering for children soon, as soon as they get back to me. I just want to gain more experiences working with kids.

I am taking an Early Childhood Education class (another one, took one Winter semester). I love it! I am learning so much about kids. I want to try to teach preschool when I get enough units. Or at least keep volunteering to make sure that is what I want to do.

When I left my old job, I've just been busy getting a lot of random business things going, like finishing my name change (now I have to change it for the college and get a new passsport), but other than that, done with that part of the business. The other parts I honestly forget, but all those things added up and I was so glad that I had all that time to take care of them.

My mornings are me struggling to wake up before 8 (I need to get back to my early morning person), so I joined a Folsom walking group that leaves at 7 to go walking. I did that a few times by myself, but it might be nice to meet new people in Folsom and to have company on the walks. I love being by myself a lot, but it could be also enjoyable to have company.

Still going to my book club with the ladies. Still trying to see if I can get a friend or two out of that. They are nice people.

Still singing in the chorus, love that! We are on summer break right now, which I think we all needed. I can get to be a lot of work!

I am being sneaking and getting Mac to read more. We have a Finer Things Club and just had our first meeting. It was fun!

What else...seems like a lot, but sometimes still feel like I'm not doing enough to help the community or build my resume. Volunteering will help me fill that void. That is the one thing I'm really looking forward to be doing.

I guess that is it for now!

New Job!!!

I have good news: I have a new job starting in two weeks in Folsom! It is working with a family with two boys, ages 4 and 6, helping with homework, tutoring and other child care duties. I'm so happy it's only five minutes away! I'm done with this commuting, it's too much! I'm so happy to work with kids, I will have fun! Now I can live in Folsom for real :). Ok, more later.

Zombie

These past few days, I've been kinda crazy. Today, I am just a zombie.

Monday: performed a concert at Eskaton in Sacramento (an elderly home). Had a good time.

Tuesday: went to take my test. Mari came up and we went to Thai for V-day. (Was crazy today at work).

Wednesday: Still crazy, went home and was just tired.

Today, I'm a zombie.

Weekend

Ok, so now to talk about the weekend.

Friday: I've been wanting to see Woman in Black and had the worst movie theater experience ever! Hubby and I went to the Palladio theater in Folsom and there were groups of teenagers everywhere in the theater. There was constant talking and one older coupled announced: "I'm tired of this bullshit, I want my money back" and stormed out. It wasn't until this really annoying kid kept talking, like loudly, that I flipped out and said "shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down". Mac, usually cool headed, laid back Mac, told the kids behind us "you don't have to make a comment every fucking time". The movie itself was not what I was expecting, only ok. I got angry and drove home and scared the shit out of Mackenzie and myself. I was very upset and fell asleep after that.

Saturday: much better day! It made up for the crappy night we had. Mac took me to Karen's bakery in old Folsom. Really good brunch. We got dessert to go. Lounged around home, then had fondue for dinner. It was very classy. Candles, wine and dimmed lights. Very impressive. Had the cake for dessert. Can't forget the two hand massagie. So awesome.

Sunday: went to see Anna and Tricia in Vacaville. Had a nice lunch. Went home, feeling fat, so worked out. Then cleaned a bit. Momo threw up a few times, so had to clean up his puke. Poor Momo. Then snuggle time.

Today: Had a case of the Mondays, but who doesn't? I felt better when I went for a walk at lunch time, then visited friends upstairs. I was really hating my job, but it's ok.

Mozart!

Here is a picture of Mozart with our brand new camera:
