Once in a lifetime moment

Well I had an opportunity to meet Mark Harmon this past weekend. He plays agent Gibbs on NCIS. He played in a charity baseball game this weekend! So I had the chance to meet him, get an autograph and get a picture taken with him. He was very gracious!

I also started my new job this week. I really enjoy it. The kids are sweet and we have tons of fun :)

The daycare deals with DHS, so we have a lot to deal with. Today, I had my first parent gripe out. Her child plopped on the pillow and while doing that, she hit her head on the wall. Well, she got a bruise and her mother was mad. She pretty much telling me she is reporting to DHS. The other workers told me not to worry about it, she is rude anyways. The story was she is fighting the court system to get custody of her, so everything has to be perfect, even preventing normal childhood accidents. Well, I just shake it off and go on.

Well, I will let you go. I have a busy day tomorrow :)

New beginnings

Well, it is amazing how the Lord answers prayers. I have been praying for a better job for a while. The Lord has finally opened a door and I am super excited about it.

I got an interview yesterday at a daycare. She offered me the job when I walked in. It is working with one year olds. What is even better, I start at least 9 an hour. Once I get my master teacher certification, it goes up to 12 an hour. I start Monday. It will be Monday thru Friday 9 to 6. I am very excited because it is better pay and more hours and it closer to home. The best part is I can still be involved in church and have the weekends off :)

The Lord is better to me than I deserve. Till next time, bye for now.

Love,

The excitement in the month of May

When the month of May comes along, a lot of excitement happens during this month. Everybody is finishing up school for the year, and then come graduation. High school and college. This May was a month of first for me. First full year that I have been completely out of school (as in done for good, not for time being) and that I went to the OBC college graduation as an alumni.

Weird, it was but very proud of the friends that had followed behind me and finished the course. Also in May comes the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day. As much as I love springtime, summer comes up second in favorite seasons (not because of the weather) but the relaxation of it. Now for the working adult, summer means nothing, just a hot part of the year. I just enjoy being able to go outside to swim and have fun :)

This summer is different for me. I have learned alot about myself in the past few months and now being single again, I am going to enjoy my freedom just a little bit longer. I do wish my prince would come but for now, I need to improve before he comes. Well, must go to bed, busy day ahead.

Love,
