So 6 months have gone by....

....without even a peep out of me on here.  Truth be told, I was super busy and life was a little (or a lot) hectic.  More on that later.  For now, I am making 2 announcements.
#1. My goal is to blog every day (unless I am traveling without access) even if it is just one small thing.  I get caught up in thinking it has to be a well-thought out and meaningful post.  But maybe a little something every day will be more meaningful and useful than one long one once every 6 months.  I say this tongue in cheek and blushing ever so slightly.
#2.  I started a new blog, too!  This new one is about how I am learning to grill and most likely some other foodie stuff thrown in.  Check it out here!

I hope everyone had a great winter and quasi-spring.  Seriously, what happened to spring in NJ?  I am on my summer hiatus from work and both hand surgeries are done so I should have plenty of blogging time.  i hope I have some followers after all this time!  Let me know if I do...comments are LOVED!!!!

Oh My!

Life has been very busy the past few weeks and that has obviously shown on my blog. I am doing a practicum for my graduate degree. It requires me to work 12 hours/week for 6 weeks at the Children's Center at Montclair State University. It is a good experience, except for a few things. The main thing is that I am paying (tuition) to work there and things are very financially tight for us. I asked to be in an infant room so that I can get more experience with infants with special needs. I am working with a little boy who has Down's syndrome. It is definitely different than what I am used to so I am grateful for that experience. It does not stop me from counting the hours...24 down 51 to go. Or, 2 weeks down 4 to go. Or, 1/3 completed! Sad, I know.

What else...I am looking for jobs. I am looking for jobs for September...teaching, early intervention, etc. I am also looking for something to get us through the summer...Rita's Ice, Target, Home Depot...anything I can do at night when Vin can stay with Lilly, really. Anyone have any leads for me??
