This week has been a little off for me. On Monday I didn’t have to go to work because of President’s Day, which was nice, but I got pretty bored. I read a few chapters of Angels and Demons, wrote two posts on my site, did some laundry, went to Walmart, and sat around. Today it was optional for the kids to come to the Lighthouse, so only four kids from the Orange class showed up. We combined with the Aqua class, and spent most of the day in their room. I ended up staying with the kids who didn’t adjust well to the change in the Orange class, and they slept. It was cold outside, and there wasn’t much to do in the room besides look out the window, and all there was to look at was a cold day. My leg hurt all day long for no apparent reason. It happens every once in a while, and there isn’t really much I can do about it. So, I sat, stood, walked, and stretched to try to make the pain go away as Kaitlyn and Sullivan slept, but nothing helped. When I got home from work, I ripped one of my favorite shirts, which made me even more sad. Today was just a silly day. I hope tomorrow is more normal. Maybe I should wear the magic OT shirt.

I guess I will take a bad day every once in a while. I really haven’t had one so far this year. At least not one that I can remember. Maybe I was just due.

It’s Wednesday, but it doesn’t feel like it for some reason. Tonight feels more like a Thursday night. I know there might not seem like there’s much difference between Wednesday and Thursday, but there is. I’ve noticed that working full time in the day doesn’t leave much time to do things that are important, like go to the bank, the post office, little shops that close early, brunch, etc. I’m glad I get off work at 4, or things would be much harder.

Today I went with Jessica to watch her try on wedding dresses, and man, she is gorgeous. When she puts on some of those dresses her waist looks so little. She is going to be a beautiful bride. After that I ate Chili’s with Jennifer in our living room as we watched American Idol. It was fun seeing people get so happy about being chosen for the top 24. I like watching people who are surprised. Maybe that’s why I like creating surprises more than receiving them.

I could write another long post about work, but I think I’m going to try to take a break from writing about it for a while. I took pictures of the kids in my class at a Valentine’s Day party yesterday. I am not going to post the pictures, but they are available upon request. Lane gave me a box of chocolates yesterday, and it made my Valentine’s Day amazing. I was really touched. I also got a few other Valentines from kids in my class that are now sitting on my desk in a pile of things that I am taking to work on Friday and putting on my bulletin board. Ok, that’s all about work.

I’m happy right now. I’m tired, but happy. If someone had told me two months ago what my life would be like today, I would have been shocked. It’s so weird the way things turn out. I guess God knew what he wanted for me all along. I’m happy with his script so far.

I love writing on this site. I love knowing that people can see what’s going on in my life even if they are really far away, and they can communicate with me through comments. I love reading other people’s blogs that I care about and seeing the things that they are interested in and hearing their stories. I love how sites can be personalized, and people can write about whatever they want without getting interupted with someone else’s opinion.

I wish more girls had blogs. I know of a few that do, but I wish more of you did. I would like to know the reasons that you don’t, or I would like to just see you start one up. Use blogger and it’s easy, I promise. The problem with writing this is that I think the only girls that read it already have one, but on the chance that one of you who doesn’t have one reads this… this is for you.

I told some people already, but I have a new screen name. I figured it was time for a change. My new identity will be mollywithlime. I felt a little strange about posting about it, but I didn’t really know how else to get it out there without talking to everyone individually. Not that everyone checks my site… but whatever.

One hour and 57 minutes left in the contest. So far I have recieved five stories. Remember, there is no length requirement, which means it can be very short, and multiple entries can be submitted.
