Today's Whine

Same ole same ole today with the exception of the call hubby got. I must back up here to explain. Hubby went to his first interview at the paper last Friday. He did well and today he got the call for his second interview. We are keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well and he gets this job. We NEED this job for soo many reasons. The reason for the second interview, well one of the interviewers was not available the day of his interview, hence the second.

The only yuck part of this job is that I will be running our route and going to school. I know I am whinning here, but this means running the route then going to school before sleep. I'll be attending class with little sleep. I am hoping to hold out until Christmas. I want those holiday tips. They make it worth doing. Last year we got over a thousand dollars just from one route during Christmas and that is the one we have now. Last year we had two routes. We earned about sixteen hundred in holiday tips last year. It helped us save our house. It was a huge blessing.

I took 3 tests today in math and passed all with 100's. Too cool, but geometry is looming ahead and well to say I am scared of this is an understatement. Mrs. Sacky let us know that in 2009 the GED test is changing. They will be replacing all current math with calculious and trig. I am sooo glad I am doing this now. I plan on having my GED, at the very least, by years end.

Tomorrow we have another vocabulary test. I got that in the bag already. Next week we have a test combining both tests. Not too worried about that either. we were suppose to have an essay workshop this week, I hope we still do. We get off schedule alot. There are a few students in the class that well, kinda get things off track. Today one of those students knocked a bookshelf over. It landed on a desk almost taking out a computer and a very expensive printer. Mrs. Sacky was not amused.

I have a high respect for Mrs. Sacky. She has five, yes FIVE different degrees. The time she spends with us is donated time, meaning she does not get paid for her time. She is also a counselor for children as well as a gudiarn light for them in court. Her main degree is engineering. She also reaches class at the BCC here in my area. For those of us that plan to go to college, she helps them get all the finical aid together. Helps them find grants and scholarships thay would over wise not know about. Yes, I respect her alot. She is making a difference in this world.

Changing pace here, a cold front came through and bringing with it lots of rain. We are under a flood warning through out the night. Great, I am running the route tonight so hubby can rest up for a good interview in the morning. I hate running the route in the rain. You are soaked through to the bone by the time you are done. It takes extra time as you also must double bag the papers and make extra sure none go in the ditches as they are filled with water. There will be no stopping and rescuing those that end up in the ditch as they will be soaked. Hubby also informed me today thet the route is already somewhat flooded from last nights rain. Spfttt! We have a low riding car and does not handle well on water covered roads.

Ok, stopping now as I am finished with my whine of the day. This really isn't bad when you look at the big picture in life. I have many things to be thankful for and though this post does not show it, I am grateful for all things in my life, yes, even the trials.
