We ain't got much now, we're just startin' now ...
Ah, life.
I haven't updated about me, my life or about much in quite some time.
I have been working at the Revere "YMCA" for about six weeks now. I do not have many children - but that does not mean it has been easy. There were many issues, trust me. Between not having an official license, trying to get the program started, behavior management central and operating out of a school, it's been tough work.
It's fantastic having some kids that I knew from over the summer. And also having Kristen. She's been like my life saver over in Revere. The kids are entertaining, to say the least.
I have been trying to improve the program and make it better overall, and I'm doing the best I can under the given circumstances.
I miss the Saugus YMCA and I don't. If that makes any logical sense. I miss the office chats, the crazy staff, having someone to work with during the day, knowing everyone in the building, and being at an actual YMCA-- as opposed to a school. I don't miss the drama, the animosity between upstairs and downstairs, Cindy's negativity, feeling left out at work.
I still keep in touch with Cindy often, and we have lunch together usually once a week. It's nice having that to look forward to. She updates me on the drama, and boy have I missed a lot.
My friends are fantastic, for the most part. My family is the same. I have to give them props for dealing with me when I get home from work and don't want to be bothered at all.
Speaking of family - Mom is moving out, in like a month. Less than, actually. She is going to the Avalon apartments in Peabody with Bob starting November. Which means it'll be Chris & I living here. That ought to be interesting. It's weird, I can't believe she's really moving out. I am going to miss her, even if I rarely see her. I feel like my Mother is doing all the things I should be doing. She's engaged, set a wedding date, and moving to her own place. She's 50 and I'm 23.
What's wrong with this picture?
Anyways. Five year reunion is coming up in November. To go, or not to go. That IS the question. I wouldn't be opposed to going. I don't look any better and I haven't done anything special with my life, but I am just curious basically. Manda & Alpo are vehemently opposed to the idea of going. They are both pretty stubborn about it too. They are obviously entitled to their opinion, but I really wish we could just go together. I don't understand what the big deal about going is. I probably won't end up going because I really don't want to go unless they are there. Corri probably isn't going either, because I don't think they are sending out official invitations. Jen may or may not go, I'm not sure. I don't know - it won't be the end of the world if I go or not, but I am curious.
Uhm, I don't know. I have been busy with friends and family. WICKED pumped for my vacation in March. I also have 8 days of time to use before December 31st.. and I can not wait to use that time off.
This past weekend I enjoyed Fall. I went to the Mansfield High Football game to support my cousins. Lauren in the Colorguard and Sean on the Football Team, JV - even though it was a Varsity game. Saturday I went to Tospfield Fair and then we all hung out at Manda's & Karly surprised us, it was a nice evening. Then Monday (NO WORK!!) I went Apple Picking, saw Dane's new movie "Employee of the Month" and then went shopping with Manda and then over Corri's to watch the new episode of the next season of What About Brian?
Back into scrapbooking. I haven't done it in months, it's kinda nice getting back into the hobby. It's definitely not a summer time art & craft project.
I'm going to end.
El Fin.
I'll try to update more.
