BeYOUtiful with AVON

I was looking at my last post and since then I've found a job :) I work for DODEA as an Educational Aide for their SPED dept!! I love my job! I've also interviewed for a teaching position but didn't get it. I'm hoping this job will lead to a full time job. I love having the same schedule but not loving no holiday pay. So I must say-He did lead me in the right direction! Now I'm working towards my EDD in Special Education!! I'm super nervous but I can do this!!!

I'm still looking for a full time job. It's getting kind of tiring looking and applying week after week and waiting. I'm hoping that I'll get a call for an interview. My only fear is that I'll be overqualified for a job. I have a B.S. and a M.S. in education and special education but I don't want to go into teaching until we are back in Kentucky. (evidently they don't like hiring military spouses here b/c of the moving-understandable but at the same time...COME ON!) I'm hoping to stay in the education loop though by working for the school system-County or DOD. I just want a job that brings in enough money for child care AND enough left over so we can visit home, take fun weekend trips to parks and/or museums, and be able to breathe at the end of the day knowing that we actually have some money in the bank :) I'm praying that the right opportunity will come my way and I'm just going to keep on trucking forward.

There are so many things that I just keep to myself because I feel insane saying them...it sucks to have all that bottled up inside. So I thought I'd use this as a safe place for me to vent. As of now I'm a SAHM with my almost 13 month old daughter. I have enjoyed being with her all day but am getting to the point to where I don't enjoy it as much anymore...does that make me a bad mom?? I don't think so but a lot of people do. Some women are happy being home, taking care of their children, cleaning, taking care of their husband-I just am not one of those people. A lot of this probably has to do with how TIGHT our budget has gotten since having to get a different vehicle for my husband AND the lovely new event of our AC/Heating unit dying. The bottom line is, I have stretched our dollars as far as they can be stretched and it has become a luxury to drive to the park or to drive anywhere-and to me, I don't like this! I'm not whining or feeling sorry for mys...
