123 this is the job for me..well at this moment in my life.
Work it out:
Sunday-Elliptical, running and biking.
Monday-4 mile run
Tuesday-Rest Day
Today-2 mile run
Well I really have to say that being a nanny has it's challenges. I am learning how to handle children in a small setting. I really dont know these children, so I dont know their likes or dislikes. I dont know their families or their backgrounds that well. Needless to say its different watching children I barely know. Lets just say that yesterday was just as much a challenge as it was on Monday. Today, I have the day off. Lily is sick, but I'll be back there tomorrow morning.
"God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better."
— Elisabeth Elliot
You know, I had to wait a long time for a job. His love and timing worked in which I got the job when it was him timing for the plan for my life. This might be a huge challenge at the moment, but its God's mercy and grace that will get me through these 6 weeks. Some day I will have a better job, a better income, and will have the tools and be equipped to handle children whose parents are going through a divorce.
In other news--I got invited to ANOTHER wedding yesterday. Its in August. I thought I was done with weddings for the summer. O well over it. It will be fun.
Today is the 18th week since I chopped my hair. I want it to grow faster than it is thats for sure. I miss french braids, side pony tails. Hair that can do more than go down and into a little nub of a ponytail.

License Plate Game
Yesterday I got up at 6Am, got ready and then headed off to Illinois to pick up my friend Terah. We then drove to Perioa, IL, went to Wendys and then met the others(Margo, Katy, Tyler, and Zach) at the hotel. We got ready and then drove the 10 minutes to the winery where Stacey and Tyler got married :)
It was SUPER hot outside and I almost passed out. It was a beautiful ceremony though!!! We went to the reception and just had a great time :)
We ate breakfast together, and then Terah and I took off to go back to Chicago so she can get home!! I got back to OH around 540. Now Im doing laundry, packing, and cleaning my room. I am going back to Toledo tomorrow for the week so that I can nanny in Perrysburg :)
Fun Tidbits of my road trip:
~I only had to get gas 3 times there and back. I am SO grateful my car is terrific on gas.
~I named my GPS....his name is Gregory. He got me there and took part of my lovely trip there and back.
~I ate so much garbage these past two days:Clif bars, graham crackers trail mix, Wendys(chicken nuggets and apple slices) Wedding dinner(cheese, vegges, salad with strawberries, chicken, mashed potatoes, a few sips of red and white wine(at a winery gotta try the wine), cake, and some candys) cinnamon roll, orange, yogurt and toast.
~I saw LOTS of country flat lands in the three states I traveled through.
~I totally missed the hour of 1 o clock today!!
~I decided to play the license plate game yesterday when I was traveling to Perioa with Terah. If I was truly playing this game I would have won!!!

Missing Sheets
I so need to complain/vent right now. So after I was at the rec center for 2 hours today(I was really wanting a good workout/I have nothing else better to do so why not) I head to the bank, and then came back here to shower/throw my bed sheets into the wash. I figured I would take home some clean sheets while moving out things. Well I threw everything into the dryer and when I went down to pick everything up from the basement, I noticed that my pile was feeling a little light. I got back into my nice cool apartment(the hallway feels like you are in a sauna or something its so hot and dry) I dropped everything on my bedroom floor and started to fold my pile. Well while I was shaking out the mattress sheet, I noticed the sheet was gone. Like I have no clue in the world where it went. I started to panic. Went back to the washer and dryer I used. Both empty. Retraced my steps. Nothing at all on the steps or floor. I checked my closet. Nothing. Someone in my apartment complex STOLE my bed sheet. WHAT IN THE WORLD?! Seriously?! I am so annoyed right now. I even called and complained. I got laughed at. FOR REAL?! Well that caused all of my frustrations to even filter to the top more, and the water works came pouring down my face. I have had so much bad stuff happen to me in this apartment all year living here, and this was like the last straw. UGH :( Can I please have a hug, chocolate, ice cream, a kid to play with, a back massage, or a really awesome surprise be given to me right now?
Well, I'm off to the store to get a few things for breakfast tomorrow(I ate at Panera this morning because all I have in my apartment for food is applesauce, garlic bread, frozen veggies, pb, and some noodles) Needless to say, I decided to go for yummy bagels and muffins for breakfast. I hope you all have a great weekend :) Im off to Illinois in the morning for a wedding, to see project friends and to just get away.

Sunday I went to church, came home, ate lunch, then took the youth pastors kids to the park, came home, ate dinner, then relaxed, ran and went to bed.

Yesterday I ran to the library, drove to Toledo, ate lunch, went to the rec, showered, chilled and then went to my meeting for the nanny position. I am going there tomorrow to meet their current nanny, see their favorite places, and basically see if I really wanna do this. I DO :) So Monday until like the end of August I will have a nanny position. I am soo excited!

I have been journaling my eats this week and today I like seriously pigged out when I was babysitting, bc i dont have any food here in my apartment so i basically made sure I like ate like i was a starving kid in africa. oops Please dont mind my un capitalized words. I dont really have the energy to be a grammar nazi today.

Stupid computer and internet
My computers internet button was OFF yesterday(no idea how that happened) but I fixed it. Last night I was super bored sitting at home all alone like I always happen to do and decided to type a blog on Word so that I can post it when my internet was working again. Enjoy!!
Work it out:
Wed-1 mile run
Thurs-Swim
Fri-Abs
Sat-nothing
Wednesday I went to Cedar point with my friend Melissa for a few hours and then went to church. On Thursday, I drove down to Columbus and went to the water park at the zoo. I totally thought of you Miss Redsoxwife(Ruth) the whole time I was down there!! It was a blast to hang out with my friend Jen for the day and to not worry about anything. I drove down to my grandmas that evening and grabbed dinner with her. I hung out with my grandma all day yesterday and drove back home to Sandusky today. I am teaching Sunday school in the morning(Which went amazing, the 6 kids I had were seriously angels!!) and then going to probably send the day in the sun. Even though I got burnt on Thursday I still want to go outside. Hopefully I get in a run this coming week. I def. hate the fact I haven’t ran since Wednesday, but being busy is okay. I have been eating pretty well lately. Hopefully I can lose a few pounds. I have a job interview on Tuesday to be a nanny. Pray I get this job!!
Which recipe would you like next?
1. Chocolate Chip-banana bread
2. 2.Spunky Monkey Snack Mix
3. Peanut-butter and Banana waffle-wiches
4. Summer Citrus Fruit Salad
5. Light n Creamy Tropical Dessert
6. Cranberry swirl pumpkin cheesecake
Vote for which recipe you want and I will post it next time I blog
Totally want to vent right now: I have been feeling VERY down on myself. Cant find a job. Cant lose a little bit of weight. Cant find the one the Lord has for me. Cant seem to have any friends want to hang out with me. All I want to do is be skinny, have a job, a boyfriend, some friends, and a baking party to give to the ones I love! Can I be given a break sometime?
