Stress of Grownup



I have some big decisions to make and I have NO ideas what I should do. I hate having to choose without knowing how it will turn out. This is an exciting adventure, but a real pain in my butt!! To cope with this I have baked banana bread, stuffed my face with Cheetos and JuJu Bunnies (yes, I am only picking out the pink and red ones,) and I am avoiding the things I really need to do. This isn’t going to really help me, but I need to get my mind off of this stressful situation. I have even given up on my Magic8Ball. It keeps sending me mixed answers. I hope I can make the right decision.

Update with Us



Coll and I are making bets on who has the best luck. If I get a job outside of Logan that means I have good luck, but if I get a job in Logan Coll has the better luck. Hopefully I have the better luck (keep your fingers crossed for me.) What I have learned about myself during this job search:


  1.  I hate filling out applications! They take forever and I get bored doing them
  2.  I talk too fast. I have had two people from interviews tell me I talk too fast
  3.  I am passionate about what I do. I had a principal tell me I shouldn’t have a problem finding a job and that I was very enthusiastic about teaching. That really helped me feel that I am in the right career
  4.  I am not a patient person. I want to get a job ASAP!! I hate this waiting around. I am a planner and need to start planning my classroom and lessons. This is driving me nuts!!


Hopefully I will find a job soon :)

Coll and I got our tax return! We were responsible and did the adult thing by paying some debt and saving for the months I won’t get a pay check. It’s amazing how mature we are getting! We did agree to have a little spending money for each of us. I have decided to put my money toward clothes and food storage. Coll thinks I’m weird for spending my allowance on food, but it will really put my mind at ease.
