The perfect fall day!

Today was the absolute best fall day! Sunny, not a cloud in the sky, cool, crisp air and of course my daughter at my side. Today was a half day for her so I decided that after school it was too nice to stay in. We went and picked up her best friend and headed to the park for some fun (and pics). But being the thoughtful resourceful mom I can be, I packed a big thermos of hot chocolate to keep the girls warm outside. These two girls have more energy that I know what to do with, but they had an amazing time. We went for a long walk, then played, then drove to a different playground and played even longer. I wish I was a kid again without a care in the world and all the energy to spare. Those were the good ole days!

Those of you that know me know that I have been juggling two jobs and 5 classes in school, and my daughter. And even though somedays I am not sure how i manage to do it all, I survive and live to see the next. Well, I have been praying alot lately for God to guide in me in what to do becuase something had to go. Today I went on leave from steak n shake and am not all that sure if i will actually return the end of the semester. Only God knows the answer to that. So even though I did that I was still worried if working only a day or two at the YMCA would solve my financial issues, but I know that God provides to those who believe. Two hours later my boss at the Y calls and says she has some extra shifts in the teen room so I can work and still do my homework. Praise the Lord, He is GOOD!! I used to question the things that I believed God was wanting me to do, but those days are long gone!

And just because I like to be random...
This winter I have a few goals, LISTEN UP!

1. Lose at least 10 pounds a month (it may seem like a little, but its like 80 pounds by summer!)

2. Becom stronger in my faith and remember to let God guide my daily life.

3. To let the friends that I know I need to say goodbye too go.

4. To try and take a little time for me!

Wish me luck on those! I need your help to keep me on my toes.

Until tomorrow...
