What's been Happenning. I've Missed My Blog!

I haven't written in so long! I've been busy! uninspired! and busy!
I am looking for a new job. Not that my old one is bad or anything it's just that I want something full time. And with all the cutbacks due to the economy blah blah blah, my family will in the very near future need mama to be working full time.With benefits. (I can safely say all this on the Internet due to the unfortunate fact that the staffing agency I signed up with decided to call to "verify" my current employment while I was making small talk with my boss. That was fun).
Anyway, trying to find a good job is a full time job in itself: the resume (trying to adjust and manipulate pre-formulated formats: oh just shoot me!); the interviews (the outfit, the nails, the hair, the shoes, the bag, the toothbrush, the extra deodorant--you all know I sweat like a pig), the right smile, the right handshake. And of course, finding the time and child care to make it all happen.
It's crazy.
I am so so so thankful for my work in exercise on the side. I make money doing something I absolutely love!
The boys have been easier the last couple of weeks (which is maybe why I am so uninspired!). Life feels normal, predictable, safe. When it's like this I almost can't believe how crazy it can get sometimes, until I go back and read my blog. Heh heh.
It's about that time of year when all I do is start writing about the weather, and how bad I want summer, and how terribly cold it is, and how good it feels to feel the sun on my cheeks.
Yep. Brace yourself.  March and April are the hardest months for me to get through. I want summer so bad I feel like pressing a fast forward button.
This year, however, we have a slew of fun stuff planned to get us through these last two grueling months. We are planning on going to San Diego to see my new niece? or nephew? in a couple of weeks, whenever the little darling plans on getting out. Then we are going to go to Graeagle, one of my very favorite places in all the world with it's massive trees hundreds of years old and the stillness in the air when you take a walk after dinner...it's like the definition of peaceful, in a place. The smell of mountains and dirt and not of car exhaust. Anyway I love it and I love having my boys up there, seeing them enjoy all of the things I loved when I was little.
And then we are going to Vegas, me and my honey. I've never been to Vegas and I am so excited! Joey is running in a race and I am going to sit by the pool and shop. Then we will come together and go to some big race dinners and stuff and it is going to be dreamy and fabulous. We even get to go on a plane! I am sososososo excited!
And then it will be May, and hopefully the sun will have decided to stay, and I can breath and take off a lot of clothes and hang out in my backyard as much as possible. We'll get the pool out and sun bath as much as possible and if I can, talk Joey into getting a trampoline.
The other day at my pastors' house Ethan jumped on when of these things for hours, and heck, I still want one from my childhood. It's just a matter of finding the right spot, you know? Plus I heard they help you tan (they are black) and they are great with the sprinkler underneath or for a fun place to sleep in the summer. Ooooooo....see, now I want summer even more!!!

I always thought it would be soon fun to camp out and sleep on a trampoline not sure why... the idea of sleeping under the stars never appealed to me unless it was on a trampoline... Good luck with the job hunt. If you need to drop the boys off somewhere for a few hours ever lemme know... :)
