2 Weeks & Counting.....

Well school officially starts in less than 2 weeks. I went over the weekend and picked up a majority of the school uniforms for the kids. I have been buying school supplies a little here and there....so I pretty much have that taken care of.

Pre-K registration is this week at Midway. I really want Coby to start pre-K but not sure if they will let Kase go to school there too. Kaitlyn is already on the roll....so she will be in 1st grade. I have to go talk to the principle on Friday to see if I can get them all three there. If not...then Coby will be there for pre-K and Kase & Kaitlyn will be in Loranger. Oh I wish things worked here like they did back home. Here in our district they only have room for 20 pre-K kids out of over 100.

Well anyway....I have been cleaning....really need to do alot more...but a little is better than none. :) I start orientation on Monday for North Oaks...so I am trying to get things in order this week.

Playing Catch-Up

Things have been kinda crazy here....lets see. I have the job with NO's but I dont start orientation until August 4-6....so that is that. I have been working PRN with Heritage for the last few weeks. I trained for 2 days and then I have been on my own since. I really like it there. I am a night person, but the evening shift works better for us as a family.

Enough about work....I go next week to put Coby in Pre-K...so hopefully I can get all three in school at Midway. My only prob is figuring out what to do about getting then to and from. I should be able to take them...but I may have to put them in aftercare so that it will give Keith, JP or Mary Ann or me time to pick them up. The only prob with that....is the MONEY. It will prob be around 65-75 per child per week.....kinda sucks...but if we have to do it that way...then we have too.....

School starts here on the 8th. I am so ready....I have enjoyed being with the kids this summer...but they are ready to be with there friends. I am ready to have some ME time.....!!

Chelsea passed her TEST to advance to the 9th grade....I am so proud of her. She is now a FRESHMAN!!! Boy where did the time go!! I hope she keeps up the desire to learn and can make these last 4 years enjoyable. She tells me of plans of college and what she is wanting to be....I wish her the best!!!

Well I think that is about it for now....

What to do???

Well the weekend went by fast!! The kids popped fireworks Friday....and I went to a party at Amy's on Saturday. We all just hung out at home on Sunday....really was a lazy day.

I got a call this AM....they chose me for the job at North Oaks...now I dont know what to do.....LOL!! I like the idea of working only 3 days.....I mean who doesnt?? But I maybe still train at Heritage and be a PRN back up...I am sure I can always pick up a few hours here and there!! Well they said they have to check my references....and then I would get a call....so we shall see!!

Well better go....need to start laundry!!

~July 1st~

Well the summer is just passing by.....the kids and I are enjoying the time we get to spend together. We are doing crafts, swimming, reading books....but mostly just being lazy! :) I talked to Chelsea over the weekend...she seems happy.....and that makes me happy. I hope she passes her test...so she can continue to the 9th grade.

Well I went to my interview yesterday at North Oaks....it went well. The supervisor told me that there were several people who interviewed for the 1 position....so I decided to go and put in some applications elsewhere. I applied at Heritage Manor in Hammond....a small nursing home...and they hired me right then! I am so excited....I go Thursday to fill out paperwork and watch new hire videos....! I met all the staff and they were very pleasant. I will be working 11-7...4 days on and 2 off.....unless I need more time off.....!

....going to go clean ....the house isnt going to clean itself! :):):):):)
