10 on Tuesday

1. I think I have applied for 15 or so part time jobs in the past week. I have a bachelors degree, am one semester away from having a masters, and yet still no calls for a part time job.
2. Garage sale is this weekend.
3. I am finally using the birthday money that my in laws gave me by buying myself a new sewing machine.
4. Game Day is going to be at the Vandy/Auburn game this weekend. My brother in law is busy making a sign with the hopes of getting on t.v.
5. I'm saving money for a new MacBook. I'm pretty excited about getting one!
6. I'm making a pumpkin cheesecake. Yum!
7. I want a dust buster for Christmas. How boring of a gift is that lol?
8. Wes is going to make me a new desk. Our front bedroom is becoming the guest/craft room.
9. It feels soooo good outside!
10. I'm going to Gatlinburg with my mom Halloween weekend. I bet it's going to be gorgeous up there that time of year.

Happy Tuesday all!

Ramble, Jamble, my mind is Scrambled!

I've got so many things on my mind!
1. I am trying to find a part time job because I am not using my time wisely at home. I do better with structure and a schedule. I don't want to go back to the classroom because since we are trying to have our first baby, and I want to stay at home with it the first year, I don't want to get into the groove of a classroom again. Besides I want to still be able to pursue other interests and before when I was teaching I didn't feel like I could do that. So I have been perusing administrative jobs, and pre-school jobs. I think that I could enjoy either.
2. Realizing you are losing friendships are hard. Realizing that you have grown apart is hard. I've had to realize that recently, and even though I don't feel very settled about it, I don't really know what to do.
3. I've really been on edge lately. I usually have so much patience but let me tell you I have been tested a lot recently.
4. I am really bothered about my brother in law's choice to go back to his ex. Why? I haven't a clue. I mean he is almost 21 years old, he's old enough to choose for himself. It's just that I don't trust this girl at all. And I can't handle fake people. And I feel like she's a phony. The thought of her being at the holiday stuff is really bugging me. But what can I do about it? Nothing. He's a big boy and can make decisions for himself. I think he is making a poor one, but my opinion doesn't matter when it comes right down to it.
5. I have a list of to-do's around my house that is over a mile long. Do I have the desire to get them done? Yes! Do I have the motivation? Sometimes. So I just need to kick start my hiney into gear to accomplish this. I'm really overwhelmed!

I love my life, and I am blessed. But I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again. NO responsibilities...just fun! But then again...I am blessed and thankful.

Hope everyone has a great week! Maybe it'll go by fast. It's fixing to be October...craziness....things just speed by now :)

Fireproof

Wes and I saw this EXCELLENT movie last night. ALL couples who are serious, engaged, and married need to see this movie. I'm not going to get into the details but I will leave you with the link to read all about it yourself. Seriously ya'll this movie was great. Kirk Cameron has come so far in his life and he is a real inspiration. I saw him speak at my parents church in Decatur about 3 years ago. All I can say is WOW! So if you are looking for something to go see at the theater, then give this movie a look-see. It'll be worth it!

PS. If anyone is needing to get ahold of me on my cell phone you'll have to wait till Wednesday. I dropped my cell in the dish water when I was washing dishes Tuesday afternoon, and it fried it. So Verizon is sending me a new one, but it won't be here until Wednesday.

Thursday Something

This week has been so unproductive for me! I have LOTS to do trust me but I have been otherwise distracted.
1. I'm in the middle of planning my cousins lingerie shower. I got lucky and her best friends mom wants to incorporate a "favor" party in with it, so we will be able to do both.
2. I have got to finish getting my yard sale stuff together. It is a week from Saturday.
3. I'm going with my mom and some of her church friends to Gatlinburg Halloween weekend. My dad didn't want to go, so I'm going to go with her. Gatlinburg should be really pretty this time of year.
4. I mentioned earlier that we have decided to undertake the painting of the inside of our house ourselves. So I think that me and Wes' mom are going to start it in a couple of weeks.
5. My brother in law has gotten back together with his *&%#! of an ex-girlfriend. NO ONE is happy about this. This girl has cheated on him not once, not twice, but 3 times! And she is shallow as H-E- Double Hockey Sticks. UGH!!! I absolutely can not stand the thought of this. Zach can do soooo much better than her. Our suspicions are that she is only wanting him back because he has this really great paying internship right now, and she LOVES for him to buy her stuff. Last time she broke up with him, she waited until 2 days after Christmas to do it because he had bought her a brand new laptop for Christmas and she wanted to make sure she got it. He has also bought her a shitzu for her b'day in the past. Plus clothes galore! And only takes her out to the best places, yadayadayada...you get the drift. And now she comes drifting back around trying to act like nothing happened. Can I say again UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's enough for today! Hope ya'll all have an excellent Thursday!
