Back to Reality

Well, back to reality. Back to fighting children and constant noise. I have realized that noise is one of the main culprits to my stress and anxiety. I can deal with almost anything if it does not entail yelling, whining, crying, etc. I have tried to start reading a book I bought a while ago called the Highly Sensitive Person, but have had little time to really get involved in it. I think that I should try and finish it now though before school start again.

I attend U of M-Flint and am working on my backelor's Degree to be a Social Worker. Many people believe that I am crazy, but that is what I believe in my heart I am destined to do.
I want to work with children, preferably in the school system. That will take also achieving a Master's Degree. We'll see. I would also like to work with abused children. I believe that today's children are tommorrow's future and that they deserve every chance possible to lead a happy and fulfilling life. They are so many children born every day into poverty with no chances of ever getting out. Every child deserves that chance!!

Anyway, enough about that right now. I am babysitting right now for Dana and the kids are being as good as expected from them. They are watching a Baby Einstein video. Today has been a pretty good day, this morning I started looking for a new car, and after I leave here, I am going to go to Costco for groceries for dinner. Later, Jeff and I possibly will be out looking at new cars because we are pretty sure that we are going to sell our truck and camper and concentrate more on spending more quality time with the family. We feel that if we get rid of some pretty big bills that we will have more money and time to have some quality day trips and more outings at night with the kids. Right now, we spend more money on our cars, camper, and insurance than we do on our house. THAT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!! Anyway, we'll see where this takes us. I'm not even sure what kind of car I want and Lauren is very upset about selling the camper. We would have more money though for bigger and better vacations if we made our payments cheaper. We could save more throughout the year.

Well, the children are starting to get out of control & Kenna needs a bottle.
