How exhausting!

Today was my day off work and I spent waaay more time applying for positions that I thought I would. This could be a good thing, though because that means there were a lot of positions for me to apply to. Today I applied for:

8 positions in Garland (probably require us to move)
1 position in Coppell
Kindergarten position in Blue Ridge (really far away! gonna have to move)
2 positions in Rockwall (thinking we would be moving for this one)
3rd grade position in McKinney
and
1/2 time Pre-K position in Northwest.

So, thankfully those positions were there for me to apply. These positions are all new since the last time I checked (August 1st). Please keep me in your prayers. Maybe one of these will be THE JOB! Now that I have spent 6 1/2 doing this, I think it's time for a nap.

Catch Up!

The last two weeks have seemed quite busy for me, but in a good way. I started working more hours at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately its not quite full-time hours, but its enough to cover what I was making at Children's Courtyard. I'm really enjoying being there again enough to know what's going on!

Landon is doing a triathlon in October so last week he started training. I'm doing the training with him and it has felt so good! I have been swimming and I even ran for 15 minutes straight (and I am not a runner!) It has been a really long time since I've done that. Training also means healthier meals. It has been so nice to cook healthy meals without getting an eeww look from Landon.

So far there has been no new news on the job front. I am coming to terms with the fact that I need to make a plan that does not involve teaching in my own classroom this year since school starts in less than 2 weeks. I will be substitute teaching for Lewisville ISD and working a Wal-Mart, sort of like I did before my long-term sub job last year. Just keep praying that the right position will come along.
