every monkey has a butt...

the past two weeks have probably been the most stressful time of the entire summer for me. week before last i was dealing with summer semester finals and presentations, then last week was 'job search marathon 2007', and while the stress of actually finding a job was quickly taken care of, i then had the stress of paperwork and training sessions to deal with.

so, with all the craziness that's been going on this past weekend was mostly about me trying to get some good, uninterrupted sleep and taking my mind off everything i'm going to be responsible for this upcoming semester. thoughts and worries seem to pop up out of nowhere, like how i'm going to be responsible for 17 little kids at my new job; how i'm going to be taking a full load this semester and wondering if i'm actually going to be able to keep up with everything. so with all of that, sleep has been something that's eluded me for awhile now. with so much going on it can sometimes be very difficult for me to get my brain to shut off at the same time my body wants to, so it was nice to finally have a few days where i didn't have to worry about setting my alarm.

so, friday night rob and i took advantage of tax-free weekend and jaunted down to wal-mart for a bit of late night shopping. i got some great deals on some nice shirts, and we picked up a few things for the house. saturday we really didn't do much of anything for a good portion of the day. we did go out driving around to look at houses late that afternoon. then yesterday i drove to my mom's to hang out with her and, again, go shopping while the deals were hot. all in all it was a good weekend, though i am still pretty exhausted. luckily, i have the next few days to relax and get some things around the house done before the madness starts back up again.

well, it's lunch time and i'm starving, so i'm off to get some food! hope everyone has a great week. later!
