The temperature is finally starting to drop. I am constantly bemused how temperatures that feel balmy in the spring are downright chilly in the fall. I logically understand why, but I still find it entertaining to contemplate.
In local news, I had a job interview yesterday. I was expecting a position as an Inclusion English teacher. It was that; however, the position also includes inclusion Spanish. The principal lead with "we don't expect everyone to be highly qualified in Spanish," meaning they weren't expecting someone with background in Spanish. I happen to have a minor in Spanish studies which would have been a major had I not been so lazy my final semester and taken one extra class. Hopefully, I manage to get this job. It's been a bit scary not to have a job, but I'm learning to trust in the Creator. Odd to say, but this has been a learning experience in faith and trust. I am stronger for it.
I have released two ebooks on Amazon about frugal living. Finally, they have made more than their combined cost of covers. I'm officially an author who makes a profit. Only a dollar thus far, but hey, I'm excited!
It's harder than I expected to be a stay at home mom. Not because of taking care of the kids, though with Kaz redefining the "terrible twos," it can be quite difficult, but I find time management to be difficult. If I stick with my routines and lists, I can accomplish quite a bit. However, I can sometimes fall off the proverbial wagon, which causes the time to slip away like water through my fingers. I'm really learning to self-regulate, another issue with which I struggle. My mom was always very dictatorial, so I never figured out how to manage myself when I wasn't under pressure of an external deadline.
All in all, I'm reaping unexpected benefits of being unemployed. Now, if I can manage to swing completing this novel and getting published, I will be on the road to my goal of being a writer by trade. Optimally, that would be before Kaz turns five, so that he won't have to go to structured school.
that's all for now; ttfn!
