Hey everyone, I hope that everone is doing well. I start my new job on Tuesday, and I am extremely excited about it. I have two jobs now, and I am actually working on a budget to get a car now. My brother told me I could use his discount at his work, so that will help me out a lot. But I want to know that I can afford it. Flora, you are awesome, you know that--don't you? I thank all of you that have been with me the past couple of months. I appreciate everything that you all have done for me-especially the prayers. I do want to say how fortunate I am about my new church. I have been going there for about 4 months now. There are some really nice people that go there, and I love the pastor. Last Sunday we put a wall up in one of the buildings that the church has. This Sunday we get to put sheetrock up-woohoo. Well, my weight sage has been not-so-good. I gained quit a bit of weight during Novemeber and December. But I have been kicking myself back into the gym, and I am losing weight again. It is going to be a long journey- but darn it I want a tatoo. Have to have 50 gone before that will happen. My goal is 100, so I do have a ways to go.
I have fallen in love with working with preschoolers. They have taught me so much about myself and my true temperments. I did not realize how hard it was to discipline. I think this is giving me good practice for when I have my own (or when i become an aunt-oh wait I get to spoil those kids). Although I have had to discpline some of my kids a alot, they still give me hugs at the end of the day. Those are the days that I hold onto, because I know that what I am doing is right. I get to help plant seends into children. Although I wont get any instant gratification from it, hopefully the fruits will be seen when they get older. If you are a teacher for yong teachers, you cannot be in it for yourself. I have learned a whole new way of emptying myself for others.
I think class is going to be fun this semester. We get to do a lot of creative stuff which makes me very happy. I get to go do workshops for creative concepts, and I get to do all types of training. In fact, I have SIDS training for my new on Tuesday. I am glad I am getting all this stuff. I know it will help one day. Love yall.
Well, that is it for now. I have to go some stuff. One, I need to go to the gym-today is leg and thighs day. Thursday was arms and chest-boy am I sore up there today. I have already lost a couple of pounds this week, so that makes me very happy. I also need to get some other clothes.
