August 11 August awaits once more!Hey everyone!
Classes are starting up again for the fall. Big Jr. year as a big, bad college girl! Still working part time for Children Inc. I've been having thoughts of getting a new job. We recently got "raises" and I put it in quotes because the amount we got was a joke. I've been there for almost 2 years and this was the first raise I've gotten, and I'm still making way less than I should. It's CHILD CARE for Pete's sake! It's an essential part of most people's lives, it's not like I'm dog sitting...
So Stephen graduated from Purdue and he got offered a job at Target...HEAD QUARTERS! HOORAY! The only bad thing is that the H.Q. is in Minniapolis, Minnisota. He uprooted his firmly planted family and friend ties a little over a month ago to go live up there. I drove up there with his parents a few weeks ago for a visit. I hadn't seen him in over a month, was driving us both loopy. It was an 11 hour drive but we took it over 2 days (which I was soo happy about)We stayed at a super 8 and they had the coolest thing....When Stephen's Dad made the reservations the employee asked how many would be staying in the room and he said 3...we open the door to our room and there are 3 QUEEN SIZE BEDS in the one room!! THREE!! It was the coolest thing ever! So we each got our own bed :) We stayed up there with Stephen for about 4 days. It was really cool. We saw the Target H.Q., we saw Mall of America (not as big as you think it would be)we had thai food, went to an Ikea (that's a whole day's experience in itself!!)So there was really no dull moments.
Well, I have a lot to do tomorrow so I'd better go to bed. Hope everyone is doing well. Let me know!
Person of the day is my half-sister Samantha. She's 9 and I see her at work everyday (she's one of the kids, duh :) )and she and I have a unique relationship. We are pretty close, yet I don't live with her. I see her every week day, but it's not really quality time because I'm in my "teacher" role and we don't get to hang out as much as I would like. I wish things could have been different between us. I'm 11 years older than her so that makes it harder too; we can't relate to each other. Here's to you kid.
Word of the day is immature. Some of the people I work with and some of my family members are this word. Very frustrating, grow up.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had 2 glasses of water already AND taken my multi-vitamin AND put on sunscreen while I swam with the kids at Donner! So ha! You need to get with it people! :) Everyone sleep well and that way you can feel refreshed in the morning!
Love ya!
