Okay....so I am trying to do better about blogging more frequently. It isn't that I haven't had a lot to say....life has just been really busy keeping up with kids, looking for a job, doing all sorts of things that pull me away from here. I've also been a little under the weather. I'm pretty pleased...normally by December, I've had bronchitis several times. Here it is almost middle of the month and I'm just now starting to get what usually ends up with me on antibiotics! I can't really see anything I'm doing differently this year and it is the first winter season I've been on the immunosupressants....weird.
So this blog will be a mix and match all-in-one...catch you up on life blog.
Did anyone else watch that Texas-Nebraska game Saturday night? OMG they nearly killed me!!!!! I couldn't watch the last drive at all. I stood in the laundry room with the washer & dryer going and Barbaro's Angel yelling what was happening to me now and again and my heart sank when she told me the game was over and the Nebraska boys were running on the field. Then there was that jolt of adrenaline when I heard there was 1 second...yes 1 second left for my team to make it to the National Championship game. Don't I have enough stress and anxiety in my life. Even the diehard aggie in my house was yelling at the TV when he made the kick! Maybe they really are a team of destiny...maybe mom really is putting in a good word for Colt and the boys this year. (Thanks Mom!) Colorado Living...I think I finally fully understood what your wife goes through when the Broncos play :)
Speaking of Saturday, while Barbaro's angel was off kicking ass and taking names in debate...Mouse was singing at the community Christmas event. She did a fabulous job per usual and I'm looking forward to the Choir concert at school tomorrow night. While there....some acquaintances that I've met during my time homeschooling the kids came over to check in on me and the kiddos since they know them all very very well. Turns out...one of them will be leaving town in the very near future...and she thought I might be interested in her job....DING DING DING...we have a winner!! I spent a lot of time thinking about this over the weekend...it would mean a significant cut in pay but....it would afford me so many of the other things I have struggled with 1) I will be very close to the kids...able to take them with me on their days off that I'm working...and they can spend all summer with me 2) and maybe more importantly it is some place I feel comfortable and safe...that in and of itself is HUGE and finally 3) it is a job I think I could really enjoy doing. I have spent the last 2 days shadowing the person whose job I will be applying for and learning all the ins and outs. She is introducing me to all the "right" people. She even invited me as her special guest to a board meeting tonight. Looks like I'm also going to some training with her next week. All this...and I haven't even applied for the job officially and have no guarantees I will get it when I do. (Although, I think her letter of recommendation that she is giving me might help ....a LOT). Nothing but good thoughts from everyone because I could really use this break. I am still actively looking for a job....because there are no real guarantees in life and I don't want to be caught off guard. I can tell you if this doesn't work out...I will be pretty disappointed.
So....that brings me to the update on the estate. I think I actually see the light at the end of the tunnel...and I really don't think it is a train this time! Everyone keep their fingers crossed because we might actually have all the paperwork submitted and the house closed on by the end of next week. That would be the absolute best Christmas present this year.
I think that covers all the mundane day-to-day stuff going on....life is just too busy and moves too fast! Before you know it....it will be 2010! Those of you not living in HELL....enjoy the snow for me...please....
Dreaming of a white Christmas....or even one that won't be in the 70s would be nice this year
