Officially: EMPLOYED
* I am totally revolted by the "meatatarian" commercials for Burger King's Baconator. I am by no means a vegetarian, but the commercial is so revolting. Who could eat so much meat on one little bun?
* Isaac was giving me orders from the bathtub today and he said "I'm serious", which totally cracked me up. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. "I'm serious" and "Seriously" are definitely words I use and abuse.
* My job is going well I guess. I have hit the ground running with a back to school night MY FIRST DAY and it is a LOT coming at me all at once but I think I am really going to love it. It is a lot different than SF schools where I am used to working so there is some culture shock, but I think I am going to love it. I am so blessed to get a contract position four days before school starts. And my health insurance starts 9/1! Hurray! Oh and in case you haven't heard I am doing fulltime autistic support for kindergarten and first grade.
* It's starting to feel like fall. Hurray! I survived the summer with no AC in my car! Maybe by the time it gets hot again I can afford to have it fixed.
* I freakin love Amazon. I just ordered two books for 18 bucks shipped. Each one is 24 bucks in the teacher's store. It's totally the way to go.
* I had a pedicure a few days ago and it was positively divine. My toes are a neon orange color and look quite nice if I do say so myself.
* It is hard to get back into the swing of working again. I have been spoiled with such a nice work schedule this summer and so much time off. I seriously hit snooze for about 30 minutes straight this morning (although for the record, I was having a really nice dream that I didn't want to interupt). Isaac has been having a hard time too. Monday and Wednesday have been horrible drop offs at preschool. He has come up with a variety of amusing excuses though including the classic "I can't go to school, I'm sick" and the most creative "I can't go to school, school makes me farty". Hopefully we all get back into real life soon because the two of us thrive on routine.
Anyways, that's all for now.

The BK commercials make me laugh - my hubby's a total carnivore, and my SIL is going vegetarian step by step and is a big animal rights person. So when she starts in on animal stuff he always comments to me, "I like animals; they taste great!" or "if God didn't want us to eat animals, why are they made of meat?" or "I'm a member of PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals." One day in church the topic was emergency preparedness and the speaker was going off on how we need to store food an supplies for our dogs. BlueEyes, being not-so-much a dog lover, said that if we had an emergency and a dog, the dog would be food storage. Groan.
Though it sounds stressful to be thrown into the new job so suddenly, it sounds like a great fit. Good for you!
And "school makes me farty?" - that's hilarious. Where do kids come up with these things?
Yay!!!!!! that is great news!
