Hurray

I got to enjoy my birthday today because it was one of my days off from work. It was really peaceful after the kids got on the bus and my hubby and I took our first walk to get fit. Since we are not going to get to start adult lap swim in the morning till November grrrrrr I will try and walk off as much of the 23 pounds I have gained back over the past few months of inactivity. And drag my husband along for the ride.

Then I got to go to a swim meet at a school an hour away and watch the girls do awesome. Most of them have already qualified for sectional in the first meet. Sara did better than she thought she would. She was saying the day before that she was going to suck big time today.
Poor thing is suffering with poison Ivy on her face and neck in this awful heat and humidity.

They all seem to be settling in quickly to school. Megan came home the first day and gave me a blow by blow of every step and room she visited that day and how cool her teachers are. Thank goodness I was worried she would be totally overwhelmed and come home and never want to go back again. She of course has a tough act to follow with 3 siblings who have past before her. All known for various things good and bad. She really likes the fact that she sees more of her friends now and can even sit at lunch with whom ever she wants. The other 3 don't ever tell me how school is anymore. I have to ask leading questions and am lucky to get a three word answer. So I am going to savor my chatty Cathy for as long as I can.

I started back to work on Tuesday and really realize that my job totally sucks. I have hardly any brain cells as it is and this is killing the remaining. So I am intensely looking for something else anything else asap. I am even tempted to work at a local manufacturing plant as a temp full time just to catch up on bills and save my hubby from having to go out right away and try to replace his per Diem job he lost last month. It would work if I got the first shift for 7 to 3 I would still be able to be at all the games and meets etc. and that is really important. Then if we catch up I will be going back to school to get a real job doing something I want to and will enjoy. One foot in front of the other.

Ian has his second football game tomorrow night and might actually get to play in this one. We are all going to watch and cheer him on. Then Sean has his first scrimmage on Saturday so my weekend is filled with football.

Well its been a long day and work is tomorrow my bed is calling my name can you hear it.
Dream land here I come.
