Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone is having a happy and blessed Thanksgiving! I know I am! I know I complain a lot but I am truely thankful for all my family, friends, and even my not so very friends. Because I wouldn't be the blossoming woman I am without them and the experiences they have given me. This year was quite different from all the rest. Its the first year that I had to choose what to do. Since my dad and step mom came home last weekend they were not here for me to spend the time with. So, I took a chance and decided to spend the time with my little sister and mom. Since I don't always get along with my mom I was cautious about spending so much time with her, but so far so good. We traveled to Sicily Island, LA to visit my stepfather's family whom I haven't seen in a good 3 or 4 years. We ate lots of food as normal and watched the New England Patriots kick Detroits butt! (yes, I'm a patriots fan, get over it!) Now we are making the trek back to Marshall and hopefully we will be getting up early to go shopping! I have never gone Black Friday Shopping and my mom usually goes every year, so I'm looking forword to it! Wish me luck in not getting trampled to death! Have a great weekend! Gobble gobble!!!

Sickness and Thanksgiving

well, it's been 2 whole weeks since I updated, and I apologize to my 4 readers for that. LOL

Things have been going okay, except for the fact that I am currently at home sick with a 101 fever and a severely sore throat.

Other than that things are exceptional! I learned I could move into my apartment the 2nd week of December and not pay December rent. Though I gave my word that I would stay at the day care through December, and I'm an adult, so I must follow through with that responsibility.

My family was home this past weekend, part of the reason I haven't been able to update, and we had my little sisters 8th birthday party here at the house. So lots of cleaning was required. I did make the cake! and it didnt come out how i planned...but...it looked pretty cool. Rachel wanted horses, rainbows, and flowers on it. Which proved to be the most difficult task. I didn't cover the cake in fondant like i had originally planed to do, but now that i think about it, it would have been smarter. O well.

Its Thanksgiving week once again, and my plans of going to the theater and watching movies all day has been thwarted...again. *sighs* Now I'm driving to Marshall, then to Palestine, back to Marshall, and home on Sunday. Providing that I am not still sick later this afternoon. Hopefully I will be going to the dr. today.
Anyways, that is all my weak and tired body can handle for now....lol...l8er!

Sarah Needs Her Kitty!

Well, thankfully this week has gone much better than last week so far. I began walking in the mornings with my friend Woody. We walk about two and a half miles each morning and talk and just be silly. Its quite nice.

I have found multiple projects and hobbies I want to learn how to do. Like making pretty cakes, I am going to see if my mom will let me do my little sisters cake for her birthday, and since she will only be 8, it wont be critically horrible if it is not perfect.

I also want to experiment with cutting hair...so if anyone wants to volunteer...i dunno how well i will do, so if you do volunteer you cant hate me if i mess it all up.

Well i have 8 more weeks of work until my last day, I hope I can last that long. I still need to find a job in Nacogdoches. I am going to look while I am there on Saturday. I also want to take one of my cats with me, but that will cost me over 400 for the spring semester. Anyone wanna donate to the "Sarah Needs Her Kitty" fund? I think that would be better than letting me learn how to cut hair using your hair!! lol

well, that is all for now I do believe, more later maybe?

How about I just be me?

Its nice to know that people support me, and are proud of me. But how can I accept their support when they tell me I have to dress a certain way to prove that I'm grown up? If the way you dress defines how grown up you are, I don't want to grow up. For a 20 year old girl who works at a day care, I say I wear clothes fitting to my profession. Of course your not going to see me in nice frilly shirts and black slacks and heels! You only see me at work! Yes I admit, some of my nice clothes are a bit drab, but I have had no need to wear nice clothes in over 2 years! So, if you don't like the way I dress, maybe you should buy me new clothes. It astonishes me how inconsiderate some people can be. We all have stress, we all have problems, as my grandma says "put your big girl panties on!" We have put up with your whining, we still love you, but geez at least start treating your friends like they matter please! Ok I'm sorry, enough venting!

New Beginnings

I have decided that November is the month of a new beginning. I went to church for the first time in a very long time on Sunday and the sermon just somehow spoke to me in ways that I can't explain. It was about faith, and how, with prayer and fasting, a faith as tiny as a mustard seed could move mountains. This mountain could be made up of anything, and with just the smallest bit of faith, it could be moved, or demolished.
