My New Life

Things have been very VERY crazy at the Random House.  But good things are coming, I just know it. 
I recently moved out of the house with my girls.  We are staying with my parents.  You may have read the earlier post about the school/job thing.  That is related to my kiddos.

Lyric has been battling some depression/anxiety issues and that has taken up a major part of my energy and time for the past month.  She is doing better now.  Has been back at school for 4 days.  Is taking her meds regularly.  We still just take it one day at a time.

Jazz is trying to adjust to things but we are still in transition and she has good and bad days.

I decided not to do the PartyLite thing because I couldn't even manage enough business for a decent sized party.  However, since I am a huge fan of Avon products and I was spending a bunch of my money there anyway, I signed up to be an Avon rep.  You can check out my site at www.youravon.com/akrueger8895.  If you want to sign up to do an eparty, let me know.  The first person to sign up will get a special gift from me.

I will go back to school in August.  I will start looking for a new position in June.  We should be moving into a new apartment around May 1st.  I'm going to see Rick in July.

See, even with all the bad stuff,  I can still find good stuff to look forward to.  If you are so inclinded, pray for me as I take the next steps on my life's journey.

The Final Countdown

This is my last week as a secretary.  Next Monday (well, after jury duty), I go back to being a CNA.  I'm excited and scared about the change.  I'm nervous about not doing a good job (I am a little out of practice)  but looking forward to learning (and relearning) things.  I will be going back to working every other weekend, but that means more time off during the week.  (Can you say quiet time to study?!?)  Also, I won't need to use personal time for doctor appointments and stuff because I can do it on my days off.

I'm planning a weekend away with my mom and my girls in the near future, as well as a Mommy Day Away.  Just a quick overnight by myself.  Yup, that's right.  Nobody but me.  And don't call me because unless it's something I deem an emergency, I ain't gonna respond.  I know that's a little selfish, and I know you moms are thinking "How the hell can I get one of those?"  Just do it!  You deserve it.  Trust me, somebody can handle your kids for 24-36 hours.  Really, they can.  If you do end up making this happen, please feel free to stop back by and comment about it.
