What's Been Happening??!!??

It seems as though I've fallen off the face of the Earth, that's exactly how I feel. Here is a little glimpse at what's been going on in my life.

• I received a call last Tuesday telling me that my dream job at my dream school is all ready for me to apply for, and I did. I know I have a job and that I should be grateful but frankly, it's not paying the bills and it's running me ragged. I leave at 6:30 and don't get home until 5 and for some reason this schedule isn't getting any easier. I'm praying that I can at least get an interview because I'm sick of not having enough money to pay our bills and not having insurance for my family. It would suck to quit my job now because there are some perks and things that I really like but this is one opportunity that I can't pass up. School doesn't start until 8:55am and it is right around the corner from my house. I used to walk there when I subbed. I NEED this job!!!!!!! There are several teachers at the school that are doing everything possible to try to get me the job and I'm very grateful.
• Our preschool that we've been working so hard to get started is finally going to get off the ground!!!! We found a building, sweet deal on rent, and now we just have to get all of the rest of our ducks in a row. There's about 5-6 families that have been working our tails off to try to start this because our children were in need of a preschool because the one Little man attended last year just closed it's doors with NO notice. In the mean time R and I did find another free preschool for Little man to go to because our income was so low and we're still sending him there but also trying to get this off the ground because the free one might get cut because of state funding cuts so we wanted to have a back up plan.
• I'm so sleep deprived that I walked out of the house one day last week without any makeup on and didn't even realize it until around 10am. I also have nearly fallen asleep on the drive home several times. I'm getting up at 5:15am and haven't been getting to bed early enough. This week I'm making a goal of getting in bed by 9:30 rather than 10:30-11pm. I am also going to try to be more efficient in the morning by getting my outfit and things I'll need for my day ready the night before so I'm not fumbling around in the dark and forgetting things that I need.
• My parents let us borrow one of their cars so that we could get Little man to preschool and R lost the key. We spent this whole week looking for the key and it literally has vanished out of thin air. I had to meet my mom half way today and get their spare key so that we would be able to drive Little man to school as well as run other errands.
• R is starting his own business along with still applying for jobs that he's qualified for near where we live. It's worth a shot because he really doesn't have anything to lose. His mom is paying for start up and he's doing a lot himself so hopefully he's able to make just a little money to supplement our income.
• R has begun getting involved in several different community organizations and has been so happy, this is VERY exciting! He went to a meeting about the economics in our community last night and after the meeting he was asked out for a drink (that sounds really girly, sorry) but a head govt. person and he asked him to consider running for city council. It's fun to see him excited.
• I've gained a few pounds and it's totally making me feel really fat. I'm going to start scheduling exercise into my day because it's just been falling by the wayside. It's amazing what just a couple of pounds can do! I've GOT to begin running again and begin my strength training, it's so hard to find time though!
• I'm dead tired so I'm heading to bed, keep all fingers crossed that I can at least get an interview for that job!
