there has been a lot going on in the last few months. really a lot of hard work has paid off for somethings. i was offered a position at my work that gets me benefits and puts me on a full time schedule!! and it came at a good time because a very disappointing softball season has just ended. yesterday. i started my teaching job at a private school this last monday and am so excited about where i am. softball always keeps me so so busy and it's a relief when it's over, but sad to see my senior girls go. but when i hang out with teenage girls literally all day, its nice to get a break from an evening of more teenage girls, although i will miss them because they were a great bunch. so as a single mom, my child gets to come to practice with me almost every day but my parents are so great about taking him on game days and it really helped me out a lot. now that it's over, i'm either going to find an apartment or a car or both, now that i'm getting paid a little better too :) yeah! all of my education and hard work is resulting in some great stuff. very grateful today!
