Slacker Blogger

It's been awhile since I've made the effort to blog. I hate to procrastinate and make excuses, so I won't do it here. I really have no excuse, except for pure laziness.

Anyhow, today is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! I am so glad because it seemed like every day it was getting harder and harder to get my oldest daughter out of bed and have her get ready to go. Frustration is a mild term to use describing how that MADE me feel. So anyway, my baby is finishing the second grade and they finished off the year with a swim party at a classmates house. I did not go because two grades, which of consist of two classes each, were attending and I really wasn't in the mood for the chaos or the mess. My oldest is finishing 5th grade and we sail on thru Jr. High to the 6th. It's a happy but sad time knowing that my kids are accomplishing something, but at the same time, growing up way too fast.

Many changes may be coming our way soon and ready or not, we will have to deal with them. I have made the decision, a little unwillingly, to look for a more steady job. At the moment, I have been babysitting at home and making ends meet between that and child support, and it's time to make an adjustment. Not only will I also have to find daycare or a sitter for my kids when there is no school, but lots of things will be different around here. I have been a stay at home mom now for over 3 years, and when you get into that one routine, it's hard to change it, but I think we will all somehow be able to adjust. I hope!

I am not sure what sort of occupation I really want, or what I can find, for that matter! I live in a rather small town, and finding something convenient......no nights, no weekends....may be a challenge. Also, being a single mother, it may also be a challenge to do all of this....manage a job, a house, kids and everything else....on my own! I am a pretty strong person, so I am sure I can do it, it's just to get my nerve up and do it.....wish me luck!
