Update

Oof! Things are good but busy and tiring. It's too much so I'm figuring out ways to cut back. I was worried about working my caretaker jobs on Sundays but I decided to give it a go and it's a no go. I gave my notice last week. I'm giving them the month of September to figure something else out because working 6 days a week is too much. My one day "off" is my one day to go grocery shopping, meal prep, clean, do laundry. You get it, too much! Even though I can grade and lesson plan over at Shelly's while getting paid, having the obligation to be somewhere for 6-8 hours when I could be doing that at home is just not worth it. I still might work occasional shifts here and there and maybe I'll work there again next summer, we will see. 

Over the summer I was feeling kind of lame and blah so I decided I wanted a project of sorts so I decided to train for a half marathon. It served me really well over the summer to have a goal and it helped motivate me to get back into good shape after having Shahar but now that school has started it is not serving me at all. I do not have the time nor the energy to train. I skipped the last two weekends of long runs. I haven't officially dropped out yet, I still may go and participate just for the heck of it and I may not. I'm done with the training though. Peace out! We will see if I decide to walk/jog it or sleep in instead.

Kids are doing good. Nothing new to say there. Piper continues to feel good about Gem Prep and about school in general which is HUGE! I'm so happy. I think her meds are helping a lot. She missed two days of school because she was sick and she was able to catch up fairly quickly. That is a big deal! Yay!

Well, that's all. I can't wait for October when I'll be done with my extra job. The end. I am also extra ready to put up my Halloween decorations and I've already made pumpkin cookies and pumpkin pancakes. The end the end.

Piper's 14! Crazy!

It was my friend Shelly's (not the girl I work for) 40th birthday. We had a special celebration for her. We booked a hotel and had a fun time downtown.
