grown up life = boring.

I officially have a full-time job at Chestnut.  I have been full-time for about a month, and it's...going...  Don't get me wrong, I usually like it, but it can be extremely stressful.  These boys can make me laugh, but they also make me want to scream (which I cannot do).  They can be over dramatic, take everything way too personally, and just rude.  Unfortunately, when there is one doing that, it makes the whole day much longer.  I hope this is what I am really supposed to be doing.  There are a few that make it worth it, so I really hope that I am helping someone with my time there.


I think the stress of work is combined with life stress in general.  For the past few months I have had to reevaluate where I am and what I am doing.  For the past four years (at least) I assumed that I would be starting grad school right around this time, but instead I am working a (basically) dead-end job with very little pay.  It is also difficult because everyone else has graduated and left St. Louis.  I love living with Dan, but I wish I could live with Dan in Normal.  I want to be home, so I think I am stopping myself from really loving my job / life because of that.  I would just really like to be home with my friends and family.  I'm lonely in St. Louis.


Tomorrow I start my 6 days in a row of work (10 hr shifts + 4 extra hrs of training on Friday).  Yuck.  BUT! Hopefully it won't suck because I will be there knowing I am leaving in a week for Texas.  I haven't seen Joshy since May 29th, so I cannot wait to get to Texas and see him graduate as an Airman in the US Air Force.  It is going to be so amazing!  Hopefully I'll survive these next 6 days of stress and frustration so that I can truly enjoy my break.


In other news.  Miss Riley Roo is amazing.  She is over 25 lbs, and is so cuddly and lovey.  I just can't get enough of her.  She follows me around, lays at my feet, and enjoys cuddling on the couch with her momma.  She is very awesome, and I am so glad she is part of the family!  However, my kitties are still not fans.  Payton puts up with her, but Pika does not like being anywhere near here, so Pika will only cuddle with me at night while Roo is in her cage.  Poor kitty!  I really hope that with time, they will find peace!

funny Aidan comments

I am home for the 4th and miss Aidan has been cracking me up.

She was playing basketball and made a basket. She said "woo one in a row!"

A few minutes later she asked grandpa if she could sit on his motorcycle and said "dont worry. I won't drive it anywhere!"

Earlier she said she wanted to play barbies and said "i can't play with three alone, I don't have 3 hands"

She was trying to jump rope and couldn't do it the first few times and said "its because I need to be on the trampoline, I think"

Hilarious child.
