It's been a week since I posted, and let me tell you what an amazing week it has been. Although starting a 11 hour work day has been stressful, it's easy to see that I am where I am supposed to be, and although I spent much time moping and groaning, I am smack dab in the middle of a very cool time in my life- I'm busy, I'm happy and I feel quite fufilled. After all the time I spent feeling very lost, I am glad God has gotten me back on the path and that His timing has worked out. Now, everything is not completely perfect- 6 a.m. comes quite early, I wipe a LOT of snotty noses, sometimes my hair gets pulled and sometimes the kids just won't stop screaming. (I am a Special Ed assistant, after all.) But it feels so good to see the progress they make at the end of the day, and it feels amazing to know that you've made a difference. After everything I've been through, my confidence level is through the roof- seriously. And it shows in my interaction with the students.
I've also been quite fortunate in the romance department- Last night, I was approached by two "businessmen" who run their own wrestling match and was asked if I "liked wrestling." After a resouning "no" and stupid responding that I did not have a husband or boyfriend, I was asked "What's a pretty girl like you doing being single?" I told him I was picky, which I am finding more and more to be true....
It's nice to be called a pretty girl, even if one of the business men did have a greasy white/yellow thinning mullet and allowed his stomach to hang outside his t-shirt....
This is the second time this year, nay in the last three months, that a man has asked me about my interest in wrestling and offered me tickets to a match. I've got it going on, friends.
