The Osbournes

So last weekend, Sunday to be exact, I went down to LA (with friends) to see the taping of The Osbournes newest TV adventure. It's a Variety type show. We were the first audience. It was supposed to take 2 hours. We were there a couple more. I think the only saving point was the end of the show when Ozzy shot this foam stuff at the audience. I got a teeny bit on my shoe. Oh and I got a cupcake because well....if you watch the show (don't know when it'll be on) you'll see why. The guy that passed out the cupcakes had eyes on his back (his very buff/tan back). My gut says the show will not last.

Before we went to the show we discovered The Grove. Most awesome "mall" ever. I put mall in loose terms because it's not enclosed. All the stores are separated and you walk down the street. It's lovely.

Life is life is life. I work and work and go home and zone. Sad pathetic me.

Musings

This is what the clouds looked like earlier this afternoon. The view was amazingly beautiful. It makes me wonder though, what kind of storm is coming our way.

now I'm one of those people

who start a blog and then just sort of leave it. I didn't mean to let that happen. I'm in a life slump. A big life slump. I think that's the best way to describe it. I'm trying to be positive but sometimes it's hard. I just feel like I'm floating along and I don't want to just float along. How do you stop floating along?

I'm going to look into going to CSU, Sacramento for a degree in education. What happened to nursing you say?! Well.....I'd have to reinvent the wheel and honestly I've already had a lot of experience in the education field. Focus on the little ones. I so prefer them over the older ones.

Slump
I need to find a way out
one breath/step at a time.

Bank and other musings

So my bank, WAMU, had to be rescued by JP Morgan and Chase. Supposedly the transition is going to be smooth. I'm not so sure about the economy these days. Just so long as my money is there....that's all I ask.

I'm not that much of a political person, but I know that what's going on is of great concern. What a time to live in. Loans to pay, credit cards to pay, banks having to be rescued. And to top it all off a presidential campaign.

In other news work is going all right. 90 kids. 90! It's a lot of kids. We've got a rotating schedule though (thanks to me) and I think that's helped.

Life is still kicking me from behind right now. I'm just not sure which way to turn.
I need to find my groove. Get involved with more. Things that I find joy in. It's all about time management. And I need to get my license. Got my permit, have driven once. I need someone pushing me to get things done since apparently I have no drive right now.
Where do you find your drive?

I sound pathetic don't I. At least I realize it. That means I can do something about it.

just hope my money is still in the bank tomorrow (crossing my fingers)

reality

beginning of the second week of work. It's super crazy. Far too many kids, not enough staff. The reality of things starts settling in. Parents and their position on things (esp. if they have trouble kids). Co-workers and the way the function. The kids and what their about. At least I'm slowly learning names. Another reality: weve got just about 80 kids in our program, there's a school that has 12. That's a huge difference. How does that happen I wonder.

On other topics...I've realized having internet is dangerous. I'm here all of the time, doing nothing. Just looking here and there. It's dangerous. It was probably a good thing that for the past 2 years I didn't have the internet at my fingertips.

I'm tired and probably should go to bed...must brush teeth first. Can't sleep without doing that.
I miss having a door.

Driving

Last night I drove for the first time....and I didn't kill anyone or run into anything. Yay. I didn't go that far, but hey.....at least I drove. I just scheduled an appointment with someone who does driver training though it's not until Oct 4. No flip flops. I was wearing them last night and I couldn't feel what I was doing.
So yeah, 26 and finally driving (kind of)

Is it friday yet?

brightandshiny

Just before I left for my first day of work on Monday. I'll post one on Friday...before and after. So bright and shiny there. We'll see what I look like come Friday evening. 1-6 is going to take some time to get used to. It might only be 5 hours but it's a long 5 hours
