In the Immortal Words of Alice Cooper....

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!! I really think my girls really needed the 3 month break. The last few weeks of school they were impossible to get out of bed. They wouldn't do homework or anything. All they wanted to do was hang out with friends. The last day was Thursday. Tori had to be up at 7 am on Friday for graduation rehearsal (she is in the choir, not graduating until next year).

One of the things I am looking forward to is getting to work earlier. I know, that sounds weird, but it makes me feel good to get to work on time. Plus, I really want to be kept on when my 90 day probationary period is up in July. I know I was whining about driving to American Falls, working so far away from the girls, it wasn't an IT job, yada, yada, yada. But, I really enjoy it there. I fit in personality wise, I am catching on quickly, I am making small changes that are being accepted, and some of my computer skills are being utilized. I am even learning a lot about agriculture. That is a much slower process.

So all in all I am feeling pretty good. I will get used to the drive, the girls will get used to the schedule, and my bosses are more flexible than I thought they would be. Plus, I am finally getting my finances in order. That is the biggest thing. I am finally able to pay my bills by myself. I haven't been able to do that for 3 years!

I will check back in as the summer progresses to update on the "boredom" the girls will experience this summer. That's just the standard word I hear all summer long.

Where is my free time?

I just realized that it's been almost a whole month since my last post. I guess that's what I get for landing a full time job finally. If I thought life was busy with 3 kids and all of their stuff, I forgot just how busy it was when I worked full time. I am basically going full tilt boogie from about 5 am until 10 pm or later every single day. Now I am only counting the time I spend working, driving to work, and driving kids around. Well, I guess we could include housework, laundry, church, and a little down time in that span. However there was no accounting for extras like concerts at school (choir or band), out of town bowling tournaments, plays, or other performances. I can easily say that I am plumb wore out!!!

So Kat and I had fun at the two bowling tournaments. In Filer, her team of 4 placed first in her division. We have no idea how she did at Pepsi, but she bowls more for the fun of it. She considers tourneys just more practice time, and a chance to meet new kids from around the state.

Oh, more good news! After 3 1/2 months of unemployment, my ex husband got another job. And on the same week that I started my new job full time. I found that to be a little creepy. So, if all goes smoothly, I should start receiving child support payments again in June. When God blesses with money, He really lets it pour!!!

I think I have run out of things to say for now. If I think of any more fun news I will share. Happy Monday!!
