confused

ok. so i guess i don't really know what i want. i think i am pretty stuck with my decision to take a leave of absence though. i realized that what i need to do is make decisions for myself. it's really important for me to get support and advice from people, but what i need to do is take the parts that work for me from each person and add that onto my own thinking and come to a conclusion. through all of this i am learning about myself and growing more aware in my thinking which is turning into action.

i applied to a job to be a toddler teacher, it's really close to my house and i think it would be good for me especially since i am going into it with a positive attitude and knowing that it is for the time being. i also looked into being a big sister. it's 3 times a month with a year commitment. i think i could do that. i am going to think about it.

karapist is away this week (bad timing - whaddya gonna do?) but i am still going to go to the clinic bc i need refills on my vitamins and supplements. i might try for an appointment, but i am not waking up early to get there, i am going when i wake up or rather go when i feel like it bc i have been waking early. by early i mean, i am up around 6:30/7am which is kinda lame bc i don't feel like i have that much to fill my day and i end up napping, i would rather wake around 9am and not take a nap, i think i woke up around then today, but there was the clock changy thingy.

it's freezing here, literally 32degreesF or lower and they are threatening snow again which i am not too jazzed about. in other completely unrelated news, i've been updating i am what i eat somewhat regularly with one majah revelation...

That job sounds great.

I'm excited to hear how it turns out.

You know, my friend, it really is a big process. You ARE learning. You are a different person today than you were yesterday... And it's not even about learning from mistakes or what works... sometimes we can't predict how we will react to situations and don't know how they will effect us until they happen. You learn from it and go forward better prepared.

I am proud of you.

You are really growing.

Keep going forward and taking things in stride. Own your life and make it what you want it to be...

thanks! i love my template, too. it feels really "me".

i called that job and the woman was very nice she said she was going to be looking at the apps in the night and have interviews next week. good to know. i also applied for an after-school teacher and a floater at a child care center. i am going to look and apply more tomorrow. not that i really can be, but i know what i can and cannot handle, therefore, i am being very selective with the jobs i am applying to. i am taking time reading and researching about the places and not just applying to every job posted.

working on myself is really hard work. no wonder i avoided it for 20some odd years.
