Nothing New

Nothing new going on here.

I got my car back, good as new

I feel better.

She got new plates and a name

Eva

I LOVE my auto

I got so bummed while Eva was in the shop I couldn't get off the couch.

My In-laws are coming to stay for a week on Sunday

I'm so excited /s

It's going to be great

I am going to start a medical transcriptionist course

Soon I hope.

I was supposed to get a washer and dryer today but it fell through. 

Now I have it set up to get a set in the morning. I need it here before the In-laws get here. Put me in a bad mood when it fell through this afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day. 

The kids are off for the week for Thanks Giving and I had a lot of joy turning off my alarms. The one I set to get my self up to get them ready for school in time. The one to get them ready and the one to remind me to go get them.

I am going to go to sleep now. Or watch Fraiser until I fall asleep anyway.

Bummed

Last year I got T-boned in my minivan and had to get a new car.

It was a minor T-boning. No one was hurt.

I ended up with an older model of my dream car.

I Love that car so much. Looking at it makes me happy.

But a week and a half ago I got into a fender bender in it.

I have been more and more bummed about it.

This week we put it in the shop to get fixed. 

I am so bummed I'm having a super hard time doing minor things. 

I didn't make it to the kids school to volunteer like I have been 1 day a week.

Today I was only able to exercise and cook dinner.

A one course dinner.

I get my car back tomorrow or friday.

I hope my mood improves.

And I hope Sean and the kids wont bug me about my driving.

I'd say 2 minor accidents in 33 years is a pretty good record.

I miss my car so much.

Adventures

Last weekend Sean had a training course for work in a town a few hours away so the kids and I went and had some adventures.

We went to a kids museum. We got to pet stingrays and starfish. I didn't get pics of that though. There was a whole section on the laws of motion. These little things were mechanical stuff. 

With all the super cool stuff this was the thing the kids wanted to do the most. Stupid minecraft.

Future scientists.

We also got to pet an alligator. He had squishy feet and a hard tail.

We got to pet a python. I wish I could have held him.

I shook hands with a bearded dragon

This is how our day ended. It was a sunbathing beach on the bay. There were boats anchored there. So pretty.

The pics got out of order but this is Louis giving a puppet show. 

Since we moved here we have had quite a few adventures. Just trying to explore our new home. It makes me wish we had done the same where we came from. But we are making up for lost time. And having a great time. 

Well it's been over a year since I last posted. My life has changed so much since then. I got a job working as a teacher's assistant. It was a really good job and I miss it. I took it because my oldest child was in kindergarten and my youngest couldn't qualify for state pre-k but if I worked at this private school he got to go to pre-school. I was home when my kids were home but still bringing in money. Win win.

Then  right before I was supposed to start working again my husband got a job half way across the country. Something we both wanted and were working towards. So we moved to Florida. WE LOVE IT HERE. Both kids are in a good school. I was driving for Uber but then I got into a fender bender and I can't drive Uber until its fixed. Hopefully next week. My plan is to take courses to be a medical transcriptionist.(Note to self: Learn how to spell that) That way I can be home with the kids when they are home but bring in more money than I am making now. 

I am still working on losing weight. But its not going too well. It's a huge mental battle right now. I haven't lost anything in 6 months. But I haven't gained either so it could be worse. I want to start blogging regularly again. There is so much to tell. Not all of it's the same old stuff. Though some of it is. And we are having all kinds of adventures in our new state. Did you know that Hooters was originally from Florida? 

The kids and I have seen 6 Alligators in the wild here. Sean has seen 7 or 8. Next time I see one I'm not going to tell him so I can catch up with him. I have aligator radar. 

Hopefully I will write again soon.
