Hello everyone! Well I officially have no good reason to not blog more. As of April 30, 2009, I am officially unemployed. YEAH! I have been working since shortly after turning 14 years old, that is over 15 years! Never once have I had the joy of getting unemployment, NEVER!
My plans? I applied for my substitute teaching certification (emergency sub) and am awaiting approval. I have signed up for several school districts so hopefully I will be able to keep pretty busy. I am still engaged in my job search for law and non-law jobs, but few people are hiring in this economy. I keep getting told someone is going to "snap me up" but no one seems to be snapping at the moment.
After the end of the school year I plan on staying home with the girls for the summer. We are going to party it up!
Right now, my two days of unemployment have consisted mostly of preparing for Apple Blossom, napping, and observing CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) in action. I am applying to be a board member on the local CASA board. They serve as advocates for children in dependency actions. Josh has tomorrow off before he heads off to the Yak for three more days of training for the transition from WAMU to Chase. While he is gone, I am going to clean all of the areas of the house I don't normally touch (i.e. his bathroom, his closet, the storage unit, and his corner of the office). SHHH! DON'T TELL HIM! I can't wait to get rid of stuff! He has five or six pairs of tennis shoes. Two styles he has two each of, none of which he has worn for YEARS. YEAH ME!
We will also be blessed with a visit from my sister and her kids (minus Colt and A.J.)! I can't wait! My sister is my kindred spirit, I love her to no end. And her kids are too cute! Her twins are the same age as Marilyn, although better behaved;)
My plans for the rest of the week are to get organized with my home office, straighten out our budgeting process, meal plan and schedule plenty of gym time, get the house clean and clutter free, and shampoo out my car (which is very smelly after an apple cider incident).
This last weekend we got the chance to visit with lots of our cool church peeps at High Mountain Hunting Supply (it is awesome, check it out!), had a BBQ to celebrate my employment impairdness and friend Chris's birthday, and ran the Apple Blossom Fun Run! I finished in 32:10 which I was happy with considering the current state of my lung capacity. We also got to visit with the Deshazos and attend friend Liz's baby shower.
Will try to post some photos soon, My camera is buried somewhere, I must find it...
