Well, my last day of my tenure as a teacher was July 14th. I decided that I would take a week off before I transitioned to my new job. So, yesterday marked the first day of my new job as housewife. I actually really enjoyed it. I got a lot done. It is amazing to me what I can get done in a couple of hours without the outside pressure of an outside job. I have managed to organize half of my living room–okay so maybe this doesn’t sound like much but remember me I am the one who doesn’t like house work and really thinks that I am not good at it. Hubby is impressed and hey, he is a tough critic. I think I will enjoy this staying at home. It really will be managable when I get a routine down. I even made hubby his lunch this morning. I am a morning person, sleeping until 730 is sleeping in for me. I still am enjoying a few hours of relaxing in the morning of blog reading and emailing watching and coffee drinking, but come on I must pace myself.

I hope to get the bathroom and kitchen cleaned today. I have found that setting a goal is great because then when you get it done you have a sense of accomplishment and anything above those tasks is a bonus and I can feel good about it.

We are 26 days away from leaving–if everything went okay in court yesterday. We should hear today and then we can finalize our travel plans which is awesome. Hopefully I will be posting later about a successful court hearing.
