Waited too long yet again...

I wanted to be better about updating my blog, but really I am doing way better than before so you all should still be very happy.

Hmmm, where to start.

HIH drove me nuts last week. I can't really describe why. It's just the same old thing everyday, while seeming crazy. I feel like this week has gone much better. Tomorrow we have 22 kids in my group and 18 in the older group that are all going to Skate America again. That's 40 in all, yikes. Hopefully that will just keep me busy enough that the day will go faster.

Last Friday me and the sisters had a friggin blast hanging out and being stupid. We were air-banding stupid songs and once I realized how ridiculous we looked, I came close to peeing myself. I love how we can have so much fun together and be weird and go all out. Had some very very fun times Thursday AND Friday.

Saturday we all volunteered for the Senior Center at the Water Street Mile. We literally did nothing for 15 minutes and got a free Tshirt. Meh, fine with me. We felt a little odd when we realized that all of the volunteers were the old people, and everyone else and their mother and child was running or walking the mile. We only volunteered because Becky has been doing her service learning there and they asked her if we would. Man, I could do 1 mile so it felt a little pathetic. Ha.

Then Saturday evening Errin came to town(she's still here too). It was fun to see her again and we went all out drinking too. WELL, it wasn't like our birthday but it was fun. We started at El Patio for $1 margaritas and then spent the rest of the evening at the Joynt. After bar close Errin and I stayed up at the apartment being stupid too. I felt rather sick Sunday for not being black out drunk. We went to Sonic to cure the hangover, which worked...temporarily. We spent a lot of the day doing nothing on our computers, then we went to Mega and got a movie and Redbox and got stuff to make pizzas, only to then decide Cancun would be a better choice. This is why living in EC and being around friends is bad for your health. She went out with Collin to OLeary's and I went to bed. I just couldn't do it all over again, and on a school night.

Last night Becky and I went to Menomonie to catch Shannon dance, but we got there at 7:04 and it started at "7pm" and we missed her group. They were already on the 3rd group when they got there so they must have started early. Either way, I felt bad because I haven't seen her dance much and I also know what that feels like to be kind of let down with stuff like that. Our family(minus me and Becky and Theresa) is not too punctual. Too many people, and we got all into talking and goofing at dinner and realized we were going to be late. Hopefully she isn't too upset. Then I saw her f'ed up bf and waved all cheesy like to hopefully embarrass them. :)

We came back and went to the Joynt with Errin again, because Hayley and Stacy are here now too. It was nice to go out and see people for a little bit but then go home after a few. I still stayed up too late on a "school night", but it's the first night I went out before having to work at HIH so I managed. I felt soooo tired this morning but when I got there I was surprisingly hyper. Then after we walked a million miles to the Little Grand Theater and watched The Hobbit(AHHH! I hate that crap) I crashed. I kept yawning and the kid next to me was going nuts too. He has autism and kept begging me to play with my feet! I LOVE HIM! Not because he likes my feet, but because he's the cutest kid ever who says really funny shit. I love his smile and getting him to smile. Anyway, good job to the kid actors, but no thanks for that kind of fantasy blah blah lands and creatures. Dumb.

After work I made dinner and did some job stuff online. Watched some TV with Becky and fell asleep on the couch for a while. I think there is no possible way I could ever go out again tonight, even if I went for an hour and drank water. I just don't feel like going out. Hopefully Errin and the others won't hold a grudge - SORRY LADIES! I am an old woman now. I will go out tomorrow if they insist, perhaps we can make the pizzas Errin and I bought the stuff for.

I meant to post last week when I got an email from Owatonna. Basically, the meeting went well, HR likes their proposed plans and all that, but there are still bumps to smooth out. They've added a couple of sections, and they need to figure out where those will be, etc. They said administrators are mostly on vacation so they won't be deciding until early August. I basically feel like I am going to end back up there, it's just a matter of whether or not the position will be the one I want. Nothing else is really coming up or working out, so what choice do I really have but to take a band job if that is what is open. Maybe with the extra sections, they will completely redo things and create another different position that hasn't been proposed yet. We'll wait and see now. I am trying to not get worked up about it. The job thing I guess I can handle at this point, but I hate not knowing where I am going to live, etc. Theresa and I are moving out of here on July 29th before we go to Chicago because our lease ends on the 31st. We are getting storage for our things and staying in Becky and Rick's extra room for 2-3 weeks in August to work until we know what is up with life. I feel like I at least have an idea, or a lead if you will, but I hope something comes up for Theresa soon. This is so weird.

I have a lot of things I need to get done and I am hoping I can do a lot of them this weekend. I need an oil change, new rear brake pads(yep, still haven't done it), clean my car inside and out, laundry, pack up to move yet again, go through some teaching stuff, get new ink cartridges, buy new tennis shoes/socks, and for sure clean out my purse. I am sure there's more, but the biggest thing is just tending to my car. That poor thing needs to last me awhile. I am going home Saturday so I can do the car cleaning and laundry and also sit by the pool which dad got all fixed up. Then Saturday night the little kids are coming back with me to EC to have a siblings night. We'll hang out Sunday, perhaps go to the drive in or budget theater. Can't wait.

In other news, I still love my family and friends a lot. I have one small side-note that I wanted everyone to understand. I sort of promised myself I wouldn't say anything about me and Josh on here, and that I wouldn't make things everyone else's business. So, I just want people to know that I am doing well, while I still think of things often, but at the same time I am trying to move on, accept, learn, and focus on the future. It doesn't mean I have forgotten, am heartless, or emotionless. I am not against putting personal feelings on blogs, I just don't want to do that here or now. I have my own way of dealing and healing, and so does Josh. So, that being said...that is why I do not write about that situation.

I think I am going to hit the hay now. I really hope to sleep well tonight. I am going to need all the rest I can get for tomorrow. Congrats to Courtney on her job! Congrats to Joe for finding a job! I love you all!
