Christa's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

January 14, 2004

Ok, moving day is fast approaching. I am losing my mind! I have boxes to be packed. Can't pack much else right now. It is that in between time where you can't pack up the stuff because you need it on a daily basis. But God, I want to get this over with NOW! It is so hard to pack or even move anything with a toddler. I can't load boxes down the stairs and leave him in the house, can't tote him out time and time again. UGH! So this Saturday I will have to get up before the chickens (so to speak) and pack it all up at once.

Austin has today and tomorrow left at the school he is in, then Tuesday starts at the other school. He said this morning that he couldn't wait to get out of this school. I can't wait either honey. I picked him up early the other day to spend some one on one time before Grandma brought Noah back. We did some moving and played some games. But when I picked him up his teacher questioned me and talked to me like a 6 year old. Ohhh! I came unglued right there. UGH! I hope his new teacher is MUCH better than this one.

School is going good, lots of information in this class. Which I thought to myself the other day "man I am glad I am pretty much home during the day to get my reading and studying done." Yeah well that may be changing sooner than I thought. My teacher emailed me today to call her at the school. I ended up talking with the job placement lady and they have a great lead on a travel agent job and my teacher said I was perfect for the job. *GULP* Am I really ready for this?!?!!! I really didn't think I would be sent out on job interviews till after school was over. Last class only a few students were placed before graduating. I am finding out more tonight in class about what and where this job is at. Wish me luck!

Ok, I am about to say I give up, forget it, I will never be my skinny self again. So much is going on in life. I can't even squeeze in time for myself. How about a miracle pill? haha! Can I wish myself skinny? Please!!!! Wishful thinking I know. I was reading the local paper and there was a picture of my cousin on an add for Metobolic Research Centers. She lost 35 1/2 pounds and 38 inches. She looks great. UGH! And her youngest kid is 3 days younger than Noah. Ok so I am having a pity party here. But I have so much to loose and heck I look at the scales and cringe everytime. AHHHH!!!! I am really thinking of going back on a program I started last summer that was working till I couldn't do it anymore, because of money. I sat back the other day and realized my kids are 7 and 2, I am going to be 32 this year and look at me! I guess I am just venting now. There is so much going on in life, times I want to break down and cry, thank God I have a great friend from school that is there for me. Don is there, but sometimes it takes another woman to understand my views on body image.

On to Noah...
Such a ham! And independent. FHEW! I smile with love every morning when he wakes up, comes down the hall to give us morning hugs, wants his cup then off he runs to the bedroom to say Hi to Austin. Or should I say yell, "AUSTIN, look, Austin, mommy and daddy in there!" Austin just grins and tells Noah he knows where we are. Haha! If you ask Noah where his papa or grandma are he always tells you, "wight thewe, at da door!" Right there at the door. He thinks papa and grandma are always right on the other side of the front door. He gets excited when any of the grandparents come to visit.

Well this may be the last entry for a while. With us moving the DSL won't be hooked up for 10 days after we move. Why? I have no idea. But that is what I was told. I guess it will be a good time to get unpacked and hopefully the weather will be nice and I can start walking around the complex.

Christa
