Sooo. Obviously August isn’t going to be a month full of a lot of blog entries! I think it has something to do with it being close to the end of summer. In Northern New York our 4 weeks of summer are defintely about up. The past few nights it’s been in the 50’s and barely into the 70’s during the day!
Truth be told, I CANNOT wait for August to be over! Why? Because at the end of this month I will no longer be working nights!!! I will be so happy to be able to sleep at night again…you have no idea 
PLUS. I’m going to be able to stay with the agency I work for, which is awesome. I haven’t officially been given the job, but I’m pretty sure it’s mine….I put together a kick ass resume and the Activities Director has already showed interest in me.
What’s the job? That’s the best part!! It’s working at Taylor’s middle school which is barely 2 min away from my house! The agency I work for received a grant to start an “After School” pilot program and they are hiring for “group leaders” for groups of 15 kids or less to lead fun after school activities, homework help and mentoring. It’s exactly what I used to do in Fort Riley and I LOVED it. It’s so fun, and since it’s something I enjoy so much it ROCKS that I get paid to do it!
The best thing are the hours. I’m not exactly sure what they are but they will probably be from 2pm to 6pm M-F. It’s a severe cut in hours for me, but the job pays even more than I make now, so that will help a little. I will still be out at least $1000 a MONTH…which sucks, but I’m willing to tighten the budget a little so that I can start enjoying more time at home. I will be able to walk Audrey to school everyday, get her dressed, do her hair..all the fun stuff..and something I’ve missed out on over the past year. Not to mention all the free time I’m going to have to get back into photography, sewing and god knows what else.
So YES.
I cannot wait until the end of August…I am counting the days, and it seems like it’s taking forever!
