7 Quick Takes

1. This was my day yesterday:
I started my day at the Preschool at 8:00, it was Pancake Day and I made 90 pancakes...none were left! I spent my morning wondering if it was a full moon because the friends were certainly behaving as if it was. I spent my afternoon working on Lesson Plans. Left work at 4:15, ran to the cleaners to get Mike's suit, ran to the store to get a new dress shirt, tie and belt for Mike's suit, went to Weight Watchers, went to Wal Mart to get Preschool groceries, went back to the Preschool to unload and put away groceries, went home ate dinner, picked up the house and then settled in at 9:00 for some computer time. After thinking about my day I realized that most of my days are like this and I really need to find some form of balance so, I can either relax more or have a bit more "me time".

2. I am thankful that a good friend of mine emailed me last week asking if I wanted to meet her this week for a pedicure. We are meeting tonight at 6:00 and going to Chili's after for dinner. So, it looks like today I will have both "relaxation" and "me time".

3. This morning is Mike's Oral Board Interview for Sgt. There are several guys going for only 2 spots. I've been torn on how I feel about this, basically because if Mike makes it he will go back on the road and work midnights. I've gotten used to his schedule now and like having him home at night and weekends. I was afraid to pray much for fear that I was praying for my needs and not thinking of my husbands. So, I turned it all over to God. Mike says he will be happy to stay where he is, but I also know he would take great pride in being a Sgt.

4. Laura Ashley came home from school yesterday very excited about an interview she has for her Internship Placement. She is going to school to be a Medical Assistant and X-Ray Tech and has an interest in also doing Physical Therapy. One of her instructors has been a very positive influence on her, likes her and has sought out a personalized placement for Laura to do her Internship. Laura has a interview with Dr. Buchanan who is a Chiropractor. If Laura gets this placement she will be able to use her skills as a Medical Assistant, do X-Rays, and train to do Physical Therapy. Based on what Laura's instructor has told the Dr. he is very interested in Laura doing her Internship and would like to train her to do the Physical Therapy, which means at the end of her Internship if she does good he will more than likely hire her.

5.Soooo...I "Re-Joined" Weight Watchers last night. I felt it was time to stop belly aching about how awful I looked and felt and realized the weight wouldn't come off on it's own.
