Really Long time......LOL

I don't know if anyone ever reads my blog at all anymore, but if so then thanks for listening.
Hmmmm......Not much really going on with me. Life and family, like everyone else.

I did quit babysitting and am now working as much as I can at my church. I love it, not only do I get to get out of the house and be with other adults..hahaha, but I can bring my kids with me. Of course, I can leave them at home with their daddy too. I started out trying to babysit when I got laid off which was nice for awhile, but soon got annoying. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, I really do. Suppose I must since I have three right? :)

I just couldn't take the parents and the wishy washiness, "how much do I owe you?", "what time do you put "?" down for a nap?"...seriously?!? I even had a set time that the kids had to be picked up...5:30....me calling at 5:30..."you almost here?"....mom reply"I'm leaving now.."....AAAAAHHHH!!!! Not only that, but drop the kid off at no later than 9 am and pick up at 5:30 or later and only send maybe some fruit chews and a can of spaghettios and not one thing to snack on for later. I only charged 20 a day....no set amount during the week. Hell, there were days when the kid had no change of clothes...no diapers or wipes and occasionally nothing at all to eat in her bag. Not to mention bringing her over when it's maybe 50 degrees outside in a light jacket and sandals? Geesh.

Ok...enough about that. I started working at my church Wednesday nights, watching kids for the parents with choir and other things going on and then they asked me if I could work in MDO(mothers day out), in the preschool class. I jumped on it. I am now going to be a lead teacher in the 2 year old room next year and am working every other Sunday Morning as well as an occasional Sunday evening. I get to work with children which I love and be around other great people and still get to be there for my kids...could I ask for anything better? NO!
It's a win win for me...work but not work and that's hard to find. I worked the music camp with my daughter and my friend and it was a blast.

I am looking forward to seeing my firstdaughter and my grandson at least once this summer before school starts back up..haven't seen them since Jan 1st, and I know that little boy is getting so big. Hit a milestone bday this year...the big 40! Ugh....then to top it off my daughter turned 13....wow how time flies. I was lucky enough to go to the Jonas Brothers Concert with my daughter who was thoroughly ticked that I got a better seat than her. Her best friend and her won tickets and so I had intended to wait in a tent outside with all the other parents. About ten minutes after I had gotten in and started reading my book, a woman came in and offered me a free ticket...wow! It was fun, but a little awkward being a grown woman with no teenage or younger child sitting next to me...I felt like a pervert..LOL! Even though I knew that my daughter was there, no one else did! Anyhow, I love that I was there for my daughters first REAL concert.

Well. I'm sure there is so much more I've left out and I am sorry that it's been so long. Hope everyone is having a wonderful year and summer!

Much Love and God Bless
