I am definately stressed and anxious. I have a job interview a week from tomorrow. It is for a classroom aide with a local headstart/preschool. They are interviewing several people so I really need to stand out and impress them. Any tips on what to say or not to say in the interview ? I am going to wear a nice dressy outfit and will probably wear my hair up. This would be great for me because it would be no nights, no weekends, and no major holidays and with being a single mom it is hard to get sitters for stuff like that.

I have also recently sent off my resume to a school that was looking to hire 3 teacher aide's and an entry level position . My cna certificate is still active at this point. Going to take my resume to another local school this week to maybe be considered as a sub teacher aide. If nothing pans out within the next week or two then I may go start applying at fast food places. It has been so long since I have worked fast food that I am not sure if I can keep up and I sweat like crazy anymore. Sucks cause alot of retail places won't consider you anymore if you can't work all shifts on all days. I am praying that the right thing comes my way soon. Definately ready for it and being thankful now before it is even brought to me.

Took my kids to church today and they both went to their sunday school classes so I got to actually sit in the church service. They had a really neat puppet show after the classes and they did the puppets to blacklights......really neat.

One thing I am realizing and thankful for is that as my kids start to get a little older (still young 7 and 4 1/2) is that I kinda miss the baby ages but I like that we are starting to get to go out and do more things and I am sure that will get better as they get a bit older even.

Been letting stress get to me and things have been dragging me down and making me depressed so I have been giving into eating too much and the wrong things way too often. Had a bad weigh in yesterday with a couple of my groups. Doing good with getting my fitness minutes in though. Stayed in range with my eating yesterday and so far today. Trying to make myself try to include some fruits and veggies but I am bad with that. Get this ? Bought a bag of cherries recently and that was a new fruit for me to try and I was shocked to discover that they are messy and have a big pit/seed in them lol. Tried some canned zucchini in tomato sauce and did not like that at all. Usually when I do manage to eat freggies it is stuff like canned grean beans, cooked broccoli/cauliflower, bananas, grapes, sometimes apples......not much variety but some is better than none.
