Confused

Did you ever have one of those mornings?

You wake up early to go to an appointment thinking you are going to have a meeting about one thing and the meeting is something unexpected. Not in a bad way, but not in the way you were hoping, either?

So, did you ever have one of those mornings ? I did. Today.

I went on an interview, thinking it was for one type of job... and it was for something else. I went through the interview... b/c ... well... I was there, I need the practice... and one never knows where things will go. The thing is, I left feeling confused and asking myself: Now WHAT ??

I stopped by my husband's work on the way home. He listened to me and then his response was : Well, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. He is right on so many levels, however, right now I just feel confused, a little frustrated, and a little overwhelmed.

I guess it is a good thing I work my part time job tonight b/c then I can take a few hours to NOT think about how frustrated I feel!

Wednesday.....

Usually I am working. It is the first week back to school after early winter break. I am not surprised that I am home. I have plans to go to the library and then take a ride. I am also heading to mini-spin with my Mom!

On this day my thoughts are random :

• Is the snow going to ever melt ?
• Looking for Job Dust
• Can't wait to read Twilight and see what all the hype is
• Will my work hours at my part time job pick up?
• Hoping I have no cavities tomorrow when I see the dentist
• Wow... it is the last Wednesday of February
• Eagerly awaiting my Birthday
• I can't wait for the weekend.... I am going to see SlumDog

That is all for today !!

Friday Fun !

WOO HOO! It's Friday !!

I had a very nice day! It is the last day of my vacation from school. I went to lunch with one of my bestie friends at Olive Garden. YUMMY ! It was very nice!

Then I headed over to Target to pick up some make-up. I wandered around, not really needing anything, but I had some time to kill. I looked at the spring flip flops. They were cute, but I will wait for a sale!

I picked up my Mom and headed to the mall. I bought two spring shirts with a rewards coupon. I used my work discount, so it was like I bought one for free......... WOO HOO! My mom also bought a new spring top! We then headed over to Bath and Body since I had a free body wash coupon. We wandered the mall for a little while, then headed home!

All in all it was FUN FRIDAY !

Sunday Night = My Five Happy Thoughts !

Five Things to Be Happy About Right Now:

1. Spending Time at my Mom's for a Nascar Daytona 500 Party !

2. It is staying lighter longer at night!

3. A nice warm cup of coffee made by the DH with chocolate cake that I baked for Valentine's day !

4. I have this week off from teaching!

5. Saying a clever little joke and making everyone laugh! I am usually not that quick !

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day !! Give a hug to those you love - your parents, spouse, siblings, friends, and your pets!!

Eat some chocolate! Drink a nice glass of wine! Smell the flowers! Enjoy a nice movie! Take a little time to share the love with someone!

Friday the 13th

It has been an interesting day! I was up late last night because sadly, there was a plane crash in my hometown. I was very sad to finally find out from the news that there were 48 people on the plane. I kept saying prayers that it was just a small plane with no passengers. I have been sending prayers to all those family members all morning.

I am not happy with the news right now, either. They were on the air until I went to bed talking about the crash. Then of course, they were on the news all morning - both local and national news. It is sad news and a major event, but I am saddened for the families that there is so much news and speculation.

On a more positive note, I am not working today. I am going to lunch with my sweet hubby! We are going to Cheesecake Factory. We have been so good with not eating out that much during December and January. I am very excited. It is part of our Valentine's weekend! It will b a nice treat.

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! Be sure to give your loved ones an extra hug!

Sunday Night.... My Five Things

Five Things To Be Happy About Right Now....

1. My eye drops for pink eye seem to be working and I look and feel better!

2. It will be warmer outside this week which means a cute skirt & tights to work. I like to show of my legs b/c it reflects all my hard work this past year in my spinning classes and healthy eating!

3. Next week the schools are closed, so I get a break from my one job!

4. My Mom sent me a cute Valentine's Day Card with Lucy from Peanuts on it. It was perfect for me. I called her and said " This is the best card ever!"

5. Spring is less than 40 days away! WOO HOO!

Not a bad list for getting pink eye while teaching on Thursday and being stuck in the house for the whole weekend. I did get to surf the web and watch my Nascar. PERK!

SIX MORE WEEKS..........

On Monday, Phil, the groundhog, told me that there will be six more weeks of winter. I have one thing to say to that:

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the first winter in a long time that I am counting the days until spring. Hello...... I have a countdown on my blog! It is not the snow so much as the COLD! I had bus duty today at school and it was -6 outside! I was chilled for the rest of the day because the wind was so brutal! The best part of my day was when I was hot in my spinning class!

I sure hope it gets warmer soon! I miss the warm weather!

Five Things To Be Happy About......

Time for another installment...

1. Superbowl Sunday... Football, Homemade Pizza, Dip and Chips! (Plus I have the day off to enjoy it!!)

2. It is February which means one month closer to Spring!

3. The sun is shining today!

4. Warm Cozy Cords keeping me toasty during these freezing temps!

5. A middle of the week lunch date at Olive Garden with a good friend. I could not do this if I was teaching full time. Yes, I want my own classroom again, but it is nice that it is a teacher work day because I can plan a lunch date!
