Home Skillet!

Why? IDK but, I love "Juno"! I have watched that movie so many times I have lost count. I was sitting at home the other night with nothing to do so I pop the dvd in. I guess I can relate to the drama of being a teen mom although, I graduated high school before I had my son.

I have not been the best I can be regarding my new fitness and diet plan. I have found out the hard way that I am a serious emotionally eater. So much so that I think I have replaced emotional shopping with emotional eating. I know, right?! Well, I haven't purchased any new clothing but there is always room for shoes but, not really that is why the floor in my room is a mess.

I have some major purchases coming up and I don't know where to start. I am in the market for a new car. Well, a new pre-owned car. Anyway, I think I want a Honda Accord, a Nissan Altima (but Q has one of those and I don't think we are that type of BFF), or a Toyota Corolla.

In order to afford this new car I have committed to taking the General Knowledge Exam for educators in the state of Florida. The first step to becoming a teacher using my Criminal Justice Degree. How? What? Yeah, I know. I am currently a Interim Substitute teaching 2nd and 3rd grade Reading, Writing, and Social Studies. In a world called perfect I would love to teach 2nd grade Writing. It is a challenge and some days like today, my cup overflows. I have learned one very important tidbit thus far, tomorrow is another day. A new day.

Growing up I always thought I knew "what kind of girl" I was but, everyday I learn more about myself.

I am a woman.
I am a mother.
I am a daughter.
I am a sister.
I am an aunt.

I am a teacher.



I am determined!


BTW: My daughter turned 7 yeasterday. My baby, the youngest is seven so, what does that make me? I also had a student ask me if I was around during the Civil Right Movement? WHAT? I need to find a good face cream.
