Sigh.

Ok I know it has been a long time but I am trying to get this up and running again. I am trying to get a new job in 2nd grade and I will post how it goes. The job fair is May 21 so it is pretty far off right now.

The reason for the change is a lot of things. One being that I know I won't be moved at the campus I am at now. There is a lot of issues why which I won't go into since it is still going on :). I am burnt out of the TAKS stuff and I feel that a change in grades will help since I can't pursue my real goal which is to go back to school to be a school librarian.

Martha on my team is almost complete with her degree for this and it really makes me upset that I can't pursue what I really went in to teaching for since I had to have 3 years of teaching to be a school librarian.

This goes back to my trying to jumpstart my goals again. I am trying to make rules for myself money wise so I can start having money in the bank and not be so broke all of the time. I have also started my 403b plan up again so when I retire I will have something to help live off of since I can't get Social Security due to the Texas Retirement System for teachers.

My next goal money wise is to stop spending so much money on books and eating out. I don't keep track but I must spend about 200 dollars a month on books. Eating out is also expensive and is one of my downfalls on my wanting to get healthy. So if I cut that back I hopefully will help on my weight loss plans.

On my weight loss goals I have really dropped the ball. I am eating healthy sometimes and others I really jump off the deep end. I am still emotionally eating or boredom eating which needs to stop. I also haven't been to the gym in over 6 months which is sad since I worked so hard before. With the stress at work all I want to do is go home and be left alone. I don't want to go to the gym or get out my work out videos. This prompted my wanting a change at work.
