Have I lost it?

Hi friendly, friend, friends.

For the past couple of weeks I have developed a new "addiction" or "hobby" if you will of applying to jobs all over the USA. Am I crazy? Have I lost it?

I think so.......maybe a little.

The strange part about it is that it's something I don't think I would normally ever do. (seeing as I am basically a homebody and tend towards the anxious side of things.) But the fact that I'm pursuing, and feeling good about it, and feeling like I SHOULD do it...leads me to believe it is God tugging my heart to another place.

Don't get me wrong....thinking about actually picking up and moving away scares the living you-know-whats out of me. and then I think to myself....eh. God you know...I'm good here. I told you I'd go wherever you lead but....I'm good here. Really. See? 
Because when it really comes down to it, I want to be in control. I want to know what will happen. I want to be comfortable.

BUT. I need to trust.

I've prayed for God to open doors and close them.
I've gotten a couple of call backs (out of literally THIRTY OR MORE applications people). I have a Skype interview tomorrow with a school in North Carolina.
Whether it's just more practice or something else, I'm feeling confident that God led me to it for some reason.

I'm prepping for the interview and I just told Harper hamster that maybe she'll be a new classroom pet.
She doesn't like the idea much. Maybe We'll stick to PA....

New stuffs

hellooooooo gorgeous.

It's the weekend woooooweeee!

This past week was my first week working all my three jobs...(and technically it hasn't ended yet because I have to work this weekend). *New story of my life.

I started working at a private preschool, that (for the purposes of social media) I'll just refer to as Carter's Kids. No, that's not it's real name. But. just.

go

with

it.

K?

So I'm at Carter's Kids, for only two hours a day from 4-6 after school, and let me just say, it is the perfect amount of time. After two hours I'm totally ready to go and have had my fill of 1-2-3 yr olds, thannkyouverymuch.

I ALMOST took a full time position there and I am SO GLAD. so glad. I didn't. (I think I'd lose my mind there all day. )
But OH these little 1/2 year olds kill me.

I don't know if it's a new face coming in to their room at the end of the day or what, but they flock around me, bring me books to read, show me toys, give me hugs, touch my shoes, stare at my face.... it's all quite amusing. and welcoming. (can you imagine if adults acted this way)

and when I say flock. I mean flock, people.
Imagine a little heard standing around one person in a large toddler like group. and that is my 4-6pm everyday.

errrday.

I have recently gotten a new hamster friend.

I thought this hamster friend was a  boy so I have been affectionately referring to ...erm it...as Sheldon, but it turns out that Sheldon is in fact a girl hamster. So her new name is Harper. :)

I've been trying to tame her (get her used to human touch). The way I do this is by bringing her upstairs and sticking her in the (dry) bathtub with me. :) (We are all fully clothed, don't worry)
She likes to walk up my arm, sit on my shoulder and chew on my shirt.

....which can't mean good things for my Carter's kids uniform. Can you say holes?

In other news....I've eaten a whole lot of fast food this 2013 and made myself one healthy meal. (but in all fairness I have eaten that healthy meal all week longgg.) notcomplaining.

Still looking for my adventure.

Day 1 of 365

I consumed A LOT of saltines today.

And ginger ale.
lots of ginger ale.
Mmm ginger ale.

My body thought it would be fun to ring in the new year with a stomach virus.
Happy New Year to Me!

I guess in trying to be positive I DID relax a TON today. (I am in fact going a little stir crazy)
I played a lot of sims.
Watched a lot of greys anatomy.
Layed on my couch in my pjs.

...and consumed lots and lots of saltines and ginger ale.


As soon as I get back to full health...

I want to do something great this year.

I don't know what it is yet.

But it will happen.
