Friday started out with me taking half the day off and taking Kayti to her Algebra class. I waited for her to get out, she skipped driver's ed and I took her to get her permit. Long story shorter, I wound up having to take her to Oneonta to take the test so it took up most of our day. She passed, of course and so I now have the joy of teaching ANOTHER teenager how to drive a loaded weapon! Yea me! lol
No, she's a good girl and I'm proud and excited for her. I plan on getting her a car with my income tax return. Of course that is all pending on me buying a car for myself at the end of this month and us getting a place of our end before the end of the year.
We finally decided on where--we are moving back to Clay. The girls both decided they want to go back to public school but if they go back to public they want to go to Clay where they already have friends. Brooke is fascinated by the danceline and the idea of playing school soccer. She is the kind of kid that will thrive whatever she does--public school or homeschool. And I had a blast in high school so I dont mind her having the same positive experiences I did. Kayti is more like her brother and Jeff. They could have cared LESS about high school except for getting out! And I was prepared to let Kayti continue homeschooling but she said if Brooke went back she wanted to also. That's fine. I know it isnt going to be easy finding a place in Clay that's gonna fit in my budget but I figured as long as I keep working in Trussville and the girls and their activies are primarily concentrated in Clay, I will save a LOT of gas. And of course, I will save on CORE tuition. I dont want or need anything fancy. Would love to find a townhouse for rent that allows pets. Three bedroom two bath would be perfect. The girls could each have their own room, we would have enough space to spread out a little bit and just enough yard space for Madylan Penelope to run around and no so much grass for me to cut! Be in prayer for us find just such a place within my budget.
After she got her permit, I had to bust ass to get to work. I had found a sub for the first part of the day but no one could do the 3-6 so I had to go in. I didnt mind, it was just a rush and I felt like a chicken with my head cut off! But when I walked in the door of my classroom, little Demi came running up to me! Those babies have my heart! Especially Vivi, Demi, Bryant and Reid. I know I'm not supposed to have favorites and I promise you I love on and am good to all of them. But those four are so much fun even if they aren't the best behaved! I love their feisty little spirits! I love my job!
When I got off, I rushed home and Jeff had already picked up the girls for his weekend visitation. I got ready and Shari and I went to meet Angela, Toni, Stacy, and Aldona for dinner and then we all went to the ER. I was bored at first but it livened up finally when people started getting there. I saw a lot of old familiar faces and omg, have we all gotten old and fat! lol I wound up staying till the place closed down and then Tammy, Mike, Angela S. and I went to the Waffle House.
Saturday I vegged most of the day until time to watch my Tide and then I headed over to Tammy's house. She had a housefull as usual and I saw some more old familiar faces and of course, had a good time.
Sunday--a day Shari and I usually veg out around the house we decided to get out. We went to Homewood to the spice store and then to Trussville. We looked around Cato's the Dollar Jewelry store and TJ Maxx and then met Steven for lunch at Hooters. We watched the Packers kick the Panthers asses and then came home. I spent some time with another very special friend and now it's time to start the week all over again!
But as I reflect on the weekend I realize how blessed I am to have such loving friends in my life. I also accomplished three major things:
1) I didnt "drunk text" anyone Saturday night!
2) I got a booty call at 11:30 p.m and I was strong enough to turn it down! I like the guy but he's YOUNG! And apparently has a LOT of growing up to do! I dont mind not being anyone's "significant other", I'm enjoying my singleness for now, but I will NOT be disrespected by anyone!
3) I had a chance to get back at Craig--major opportunity to fuck up his whole world but I declned. I proved to myself I really am over it--I dont care anymore. I was even tested on this further when he made ugly comments about the picture I'm about to post but I did not respond. God is going to handle him. God already HAS handled him.
Me and Judy Brown Cannell at Tammy's Saturday night:
I'm on top of the world right now but I know I still have a long way to go. Just praying I can stay positive while I keep climbing!
