i keep saying

... that i will get a job one day that does not require latex gloves, clorox wipes and/or disinfectant. but i am coming to realize that my wishes are simply not coming true and it doesn't seem like it will be soon before i will have a job that does not require at least one of these things if not all.

besides. i like clorox wipes. they're quite handy.

moral of the day: stop whining and get to work!

tis cold

it's chilly today. my philanges are losing feeling. but that's ok. halloween is coming and kenny is going to be a lion and i am going to be dorothy (wizard of oz...) it'll be fun i think. we are busy and doing lots of work here in iowa. mark is busy with work and finishing up some digging before it gets too cold. i'm working at the school and still love it. it's lots of fun and i have one student who is really kind of difficult but he's so much fun too. he's sweet but has a hard home life which makes me so sad. life in general is good though and we're all having lots of fun. love to all.

NEW JOB!!!

I am currently working at Kinsey Elementary as a teacher's aide in the special education room. I love it! Anyone who would like to know more just ask!
Love you all!

ugh. bad pounding freakin headache.

california was nice, the wedding was really pretty, and the weather was ok. (not great, but ok.) work still sucks and i'm still going nowhere with my life. plus, i would love to hear.... "that sucks and i feel bad for you." with that whole deal. but ah well. love to all until later. sara

stuck on a plateau with nowhere to go

my life is awfully boring compared to all of yours. to be honest, it's quite depressing realizing that i am now working in a job that i would never have taken a couple years ago, because of how it beats down the spirit of a person. now i do all that and still haven't seen much of canada, mexico or the rest of the world to be honest. and i think that morocco is further off than i had ever imagined. as is italy, spain, portugal, and ireland. crap on my life. damn.

my new name... yes i expect you all to call me that.

so i'm a shitty poster. i know. i have news though. i have a new job at nemschoff. i sew all day. funny story though. i got the phone call that i had the job about a month ago and a week later got a letter in the mail with all the details for, you know, the sake of it i guess. and it said blah blah blah, "sewer" and i guess i was tired but read it as "sewer" (like the gross dirty kind.) makes me laugh everytime i see my job title. let's see what else is new.... i get to visit cali in like 2 1/2 weeks for an extended weekend. kenny has learned to dance, his favorite band as of right now is snow patrol. we'll see how that works out. :) he also tries to sing along by rhythmically jabbering on. he can walk well now and is always in something new. he also shakes his head no and says yes and officially says mommy, not just mama anymore. well. i don't want to wear myself out posting too much. ciao for now.

your loves like one last cigarette

so i have a terrible cold and am realizing that i also have given it to many others... namely my family. well, i got the job at nemschoff and will start the 29th granted i pass my drug test (not too worried about that) and i'm pretty excited, but it seems like a long ways off. i'm going to cali for almond blossom festival. the one time a year that our little town of ripon is bustling with strangers. it should be fun though. mark is coming with me too. We had a our family christmas with mark's family this past saturday. mark's only living grandparent is sliding downhill. it's really very sad. she's getting into a bit of alzheimer's and didn't realize that any of us were related to her. i feel really bad for mark because 2 of his other grandparents got to the advanced stages of alzheimers and he's pretty much in denial right now. more or less so ignoring that it even exists. anyone have any advice for how to deal with mark or his dad ( who also is in denial) or his grandma? i would love anything i can use to help them. anyhow, it snowed. quite a bit. the most all winter. not too bad though, i just don't like the roads. don't you hate how it seems like everytime you go away you leave something behind? either at home or where you were visiting? yeah, i did that again. big fun. so i'm missing some shoes and a couple other things. well that's all for now.

[insert favorite lyric here]

too tired to really write. but it's been busy. home was great. missed mark a lot. gave the whole family, on both sides, pink eye. lovely. been working alot this weekend. will be really glad to hopefully get a new job. everyone needs to pray that me sewing on a industrial machine will be good for me and that it will work out. ok, goodnight.
