Changing Normal

So, today was SO nice to sleep in a little (Princess didn’t wake up until around 9a.m.), and just hang around. I didn’t get much else done…I tried, but I’ve REALLY gotta get some stuff done tonight. The girls are coming over for lunch tomorrow afternoon, and NeighborGirl (for those of you who remember “Little Neighbor Boy” this would be his older sister LOL). Anyways, she’s coming over tomorrow, too, I think, so it’ll be fun :) Oh, speaking of, I need to call Daisy real quick…

OK, I’m back :) LOL Of course, how do you really know if I’m just typing while still talking to Daisy?!?! LOL

I guess that Daisy’s SIL got the job she interviewed for…please keep her (Daisy) in your prayers with that…let’s call her LeftWing…Anyways, Daisy said that it’s actually a good thing. It’s really good money, and a LOT of traveling, so that means she won’t really be around that much, and she’ll soon have enough $$ to get a place of her own. Plus, she has a new boyfriend in Indy, and it sounds like it’s going to be a serious relationship, so that will be more than enough to keep her occupied & “out of Daisy’s way” if you know what I mean. I think she was just really nervous about LeftWing becoming a 3^rd parent to SweetiePie, ya know? Especially while living there with them.

Okay, moving on…

We went to the zoo yesterday!! What fun!! I think that Princess’s favorite animal was the elephants. There was a baby elephant that was just SO cute :) Before we left, Mom said she wanted to get her a stuffed animal of her favorite animal she saw all day, and as soon as Princess spotted this smaller very soft plush elephant, she wouldn’t let it go!! She said, “This is my favorite animal. This is my best!!” LOL So, of course, we gave her ample opportunity to change her mind, but she wouldn’t let go of her “ew-phant” even if she got excited over something else. She’d put it down, but wouldn’t let go of that elephant…so that’s what won as her favorite…Now, if there had been giraffes & zebras at this zoo, you’d better believe it would’ve been a giraffe!! She loves looking at picture of those!! But, those won’t be at the Columbus zoo until 2010…Polar Bears are coming in 2008…

We really had a great time. Princess had a little catnap before we got to the zoo, but she didn’t get to sleep again until after we dropped Mom & Dad off, and the last (honken) episode of Caillou went off (we started that video in Columbus, and it is the LONGEST video ever made!! LOL) Anyways, she just crashed last night. Today was nice & easy, and she took a VERY good LONG 3hour nap :) She’s already gone to bed, although she’s been up once asking for juice…

Well, I think that’s all…Oh, I do have a prayer request, if you would remember…Last weekend we ran into one of the pre-school teachers I used to teach with at Kiddie Launch, and she told me because of her husband’s health (he was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year, and they’re both in their 60’s), she was going to retire, just not come back, this school year. I didn’t think anything of it, but then today as I was thinking in the shower (one of my best thinking spots!! LOL), I got to thinking about teaching again. I really do miss it, sometimes. Her schedule was pretty easy, too. She only worked mornings, and she had the whole summer off. Since I have Princess that’s what I’d want. Enough time during the day with her, still, but to have the summers off just like a “real” teacher?!?! That would be awesome!! So, I’m thinking of calling the director up & just saying, “Keep me in mind if you have any morning openings coming up.” kind of thing. We’ll see what happens. TexasRose’s shoes are big ones to fill, but I think I have enough teacher connections that I would have a lot of sounding boards & help with that…Plus, NeighborGirl is moving up to 1^st Grade this year & is wanting to get rid of all her Kindergarten stuff!! I just thought of that!! :) Now, a lot of this depends on if Mom will watch Princess for me in the mornings, and if the daycare will agree to this schedule…So, please pray?!?! I really think this would be cool/fun/rewarding…Just keep me in your prayers. This is really, kinda, my dream gig :) LOL This would fit into me going back to school, too…

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!! :) I’m getting all excited about this, but have nothing to base it on…I just need to talk to people & pray some more!! LOL :) King is behind me 100%, too :)

Okay, I’d really better go. Talk to ya later J
