Waiting on ...

I'm not really sure what we're waiting on here. So far there haven't been any teaching jobs open up. I guess that means that I'll substitute teach again this year. I keep thinking that maybe I should try getting another job. But I really hate to do that because I really want to be a teacher. Should I settle just to boost our income? I don't know the answer to that. In the meantime though I am very lucky to have such a supportive husband.

We started building up our food storage this week. I used some of the money we got from our wedding and went to Aldi's and Sam's Club to get a few items. I'm pretty sure now that we are close to having our 3 month supply, although I don't know how "comfortable" all these foods are. I love fresh foods so much that it would be hard for me to subsist on canned and bottled foods. I KNOW we don't have a 3 month supply of water though. I don't know where we would store it either. Well, one thing at a time.

It's been hard not working. I am feeling very lazy. I always find stuff to do, but sometimes I sleep in very late. This morning I actually got up about 7:45. I was very proud of myself. Have I gotten anything done you ask? Well, this and that. Hey, I'm blogging! Be grateful! This afternoon I plan to take my resume and cover letter to some schools in the area to let them know I want to be on their sub list. Which reminds me ... I need to get a hold of the county and change my name on their records. They are so impossible to get a hold of!

I went to JC Penney's yesterday and bought a lot of clothes. Well, to me it was a lot because I never buy that much in one visit. I was desperately in need of some professional-looking clothing though for subbing or teaching or whatever I'm going to be doing. I was so impressed with the selection of clothes they had at JC Penney's, especially for bigger people like I am. The clothes were not frumpy looking, instead they looked very nice and flattering on me! And the best part, is that I got them all on sale. I am SO proud of the fact that I got 2 pairs of dress pants, and 6 dressy shirts all for $100. Everything I bought was on sale, and half of it was on the 70% off clearance rack. I got one hoodie sweater for $2.38! That's right, I'm a bargain shopper. I guess this is the time for sales because it's back to school!

Well, I guess I'd better find something productive to do so I feel good about myself later. Or maybe I'll just sink into a good book for a while ...
