My first week at my new job has been incredible! :D I've already grown to LOVE my kiddos... already have a few that are my faves! ;-) My boss is super amazing! Love her! It is such a positive and energized environment!
As an employee everyone has to work out at least twice/week.... so today I am going to try out the gym! :) Yay for getting back to working out! :D
My Shakeology came in!!! :D :D I had it for lunch today!! It's SOO good!! I cannot wait until I start selling it... which might be a while 'cause my life it too hectic to add something else to the mix!
Working 2 jobs. Taking a summer class at UT Tyler. Trying to get fall financial aid taken care of.
But life is good... today... 'cause it's FRIDAY and I don't have to work tonight. lol. YAY!
New Job!
Tuesday, July 19, 2011
Yesterday was my first day at my new job. It was great! It was pretty slow, but the kids that came in were good. They were very creative and entertained themselves... I love those kinds of kids! :)
They are still in the process of finishing the gym so it is still a little crazy. It's going to be awesome when it is completed! :) Metal building =no cell service. As part of my requirement for working there is all employees MUST workout at least TWICE/week at the gym... which is incredible for me... because I can't make excuses anymore! :D
My boss is amazing! She is super sweet and has such a passion for children! I think this job is going to turn out to be the best one yet! I think the Lord has some amazing things planned, I cannot wait to see what they are!
I still wish my old boss supported me in this decision, or bother speaking to me, or much less even look at me! :-/ It sucks to be completely invisible to her! It definitely makes me not want to be there or bother doing my job! Each day that passes, the less and less I want to be there because of the way she has been treating me! I most definitely miss my morning co-workers and morning members and a few of my favorite kids, but my decision to move on and accept this other job was made so much easier with her reaction to when I told her I was leaving. She has yet to even ask why I'm leaving, where I'm going or what I'm doing. It hurts a lot to see her support the other 3 people that are leaving and she doesn't even acknowledge my presence! I'm pretty sure she will never read this and most likely never know how much this hurts! I have worked so hard in the past year, I loved that job, most days, and I have done everything she asked me to do... I just don't understand why I am getting the cold shoulder and being completely ignored! I'm ready to serve my time and be done with me! Yeah, I know that sounds like a prison sentence, but that is exactly what it feels like when you know you are not want there. It breaks my heart that I won't see some of those precious kids anymore, but it's time to spread my wings and fly.
Frustrated. Ready to finish this chapter of my life and turn the page. Never knew it would hurt this much.... not getting the new job... just the ways turned out with my old one...

Last night I hung out with the most amazing co-workers I could have ever asked for!! So much fun! I don't know why we waited so long to have a night like that. Dinner, bubbles, talking until midnight. I will miss these guys soooooo much!! I hope my new co-workers can just be half as amazing as these 3 are!
I got the WORST possible news EVER last night!! I wanted a chance to start over, to grow, to change, to turn the page and end that chapter of my life. But you are like a weight chained to my leg that I have to drag with me every day. I HATE it!!! I went to bed angry last night! I told God that I was mad, mad at him, and I am! I don't understand why when something amazing comes along there is always that awful thing that comes with it!? I wanted freedom and happiness... I had all that... until last night! Why God, WHY?!

Whirlwind
Tuesday, July 12, 2011
I haven't blogged in a while because there is SO much on my mind I just don't know where to start; so I guess I will start from the beginning.
During Day Camp, some of the ladies were talking about being sore because they had done kickboxing that morning. I looked up the website to they gym they were talking about and was just browsing around. They bought out a huge building that they are moving their gym into... I kept looking and came across the childcare description. It said, "2 'Xtreme Kids' childcare areas... with healthy lifestyle activities only and a WiFi study area; Xtreme Kids program will promote focusing on the importance of health and physical activity starting at a young age. This really caught my attention, so I decided to send a message to a guy that I knew worked there. From the information I received it sounded amazing! So, I decided to apply for the job. I made a list of all the pros and cons... the pros outweighed the cons. I was secretly hoping the get the job... but then I started to second guess myself and what I was doing.
I finally got a call and set up an interview. The lady I had the interview with said that the staff were gonna go through all the applicants interviews and whoever got a call the next day would get a second interview. I left work on Thursday with that feeling that I did not get the job and I was okay with it. I got home and I got the call... :) ...She said that she felt confident enough in me and that I did not need a second interview. :)
Before I got the job offered I asked God NOT to open this door if this was not the place that I was supposed to... but He did open the door... and yet I still questioned Him
I was second guessing myself all weekend... praying that I was choosing the wrong thing. I talked to a lot of people about this decision... they all told me to go for it, take a leap of faith, because if I didn't then I would definitely regret it.
So, Monday morning I told my boss the situation and it did not go at all like I had hoped or expected. I will not elaborate on this!
I will miss my co-workers and quite a few of my kids at TMF! But I am sure that I would have regretted not taking this new job! This is part of what I want to do with my life. I will be out of my comfort zone, but you only ever grow as a person when you are out of your comfort zone! This will get me one step closer to what I want to do with the rest of my life and most people are happy for me and excited about what I'm doing, but there is that one person that didn't even give me the chance to explain or care to hear anything about it. :-/
I'm excited about what the future holds! But what I'm not so excited about is that for the next 5 weeks I will be working mornings for my new job and working at TMF for the night shift with studying in between. Needless to say it is going to be INSANE for a while!!
I am sure that I have left something out on this post that I wanted to say, but I cannot remember. Off to read for class.

Monica told me this morning that she wants to get back into working out and eating better. It is SO good to hear! I NEED my workout buddy back! It's been 1 1/2 years since either of us have been consistent with working out. We don't have a gym that we can workout together at so we're gonna do it back yard boot camp style. :) I've got some work outs planned to do and we have videos and 2 dogs that need walking!

Saturday was quite incredible! I was introduced to Shakeology at least a year ago when Angela started selling it. I bought some and LOVED it! One of the trainers, Rebecca, at work started working for this company. She asked me to go with her to a conference about this company. I was blown away with all the incredible testimonies that were shared of how these products have really worked. (But you gotta put forth the effort and work hard.) There is no "quick fix" in changing your life!
A few things that I picked up from Saturday and not necessarily from the meeting.
Rebecca said, we are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves... we have to love ourselves before we can take care of others and truly love others. <--Loving myself is something I'm trying to learn to do.

You are the sum of those you hang with.
Hang around people with the characteristics that you want to have.
I'm not in any way trying to say anything bad about my friends, but most of them don't care to change their eating habits and that is really hard for me to have no support when I NEED it the MOST!

You are above the criticism because what you are doing is honorable. -Carl
It's not about what you lose, it's about what you gain
Question of the day:
What am I going to do to end the trend of obesity?
What am I going to do to end the trend of obesity?
Decide & make the commitment. Effect someone else's life, for the better.
Have the COURAGE to come up with another option... skipping out on the pizza party and/or finding something else for lunch besides McDonald's. Don't make McDonald's a food group. Plan ahead. Lead by example. Be immovable. Deal with the criticism! You WILL be criticized for your healthy choices. Team up... don't do this alone! Find a success partner.
On the way home from Dallas, Rebecca and Miranda were talking about people had deleted them from facebook for whatever reason. Tonight, I realized that someone I thought was a very close friend has deleted me from facebook. And it made me really sad! I think it's time for a facebook detox! Facebook has taken over my life! There is SO much I could be doing besides WASTING time on facebook... to name a few...
1. I could be actually studying for school.
2 I could read all those books I have bought and have yet to read.
3 I could get into God's word and read it and grow in my relationship.
4 I could work out.
5 I could spend time with my baby girl and take her for walks (my dog).
6 I could help out more... at home, work, and church.
....and I'm sure there are many more...
It was a great day! I met a lot of amazing people and was really encouraged with the 3 ladies that I had lunch with. They are such Godly women and they take care of their bodies. Those are the people I want to be like.
________________________________________________________________
There is a LOT going through my head right now & nothing at all at the same time... if that makes any sense!
God showed me a door and now I am just waiting for Him to either open it or close it. I've discovered it's too exhausting to worry about this decision! When the time is right I will hopefully know which to choose. Please pray that I will have a peace about this decision! I think it will bring me out of my comfort and some good things will come of it.

I'm just exhausted. I'm tired of fighting all these battles that I'm continuing to lose. Tired of being tired and not being content with my life. Things have been a roller coaster for a long time and I'm ready for it to just slow down so that I can get on a different ride!
