Week 6

Finally got back on track running.  :o)  It felt good to get back to it.  I so could have just sat on the couch all night to night, but I made mysself get my new shoes on and get out there.

The last couple days were fun and eventful here.  Tuesday we hung out at home and then went to the neightbors to play in the pool again.  Then Wednesday we spent sometime at my work (yes, on my week off) and did some gardening while we were there.  Then that afternoon we went to the pool, then to Ames for Chris' haircut and out to eat.  This morning we met a friend and her to kids at the Science Center in Des Moines.  It was a lot of fun.  Carter was even having fun "building" his lego cars and racing them.  We went out to eat at TGIF and then went to the mall for a little bit.  It was a good time.  Tonight we went to Ames again and I bought my running shoes I have had my eye on for a couple weeks now.  They are K-Swiss tubes and are super cute and comfortable!  I really like them. 

This weekend we plan to go home to my parents on Friday night to celebrate Michelle's birthday.  Then, Saturday we have the Carroll County Fair to attend.  Chris will be playing Mud Volleyball again while the boys and I watch and enjoy the "festivities".  I may try to sneak the boys up to the pool at some point just to cool down and have fun (it is supposed to be stinkin' hot).  Then, we may stay for the Figure 8 races that night.  Sunday we have the Hartwigsen Family Reunion that I am "hosting" (kind of it is really just in my back yard)...  ;o)  Then Monday it is back to the grind stone.  :(  I have really enjoyed having this time off to spend with the boys, it has been a lot of fun. 

I have been looking at job ads lately.  I really don't know what I want to do with my career "life", but I don't feel as fulfilled with this career as I used to.  I would really like to be a director of a childcare center, but I don't want to pay for full time childcare, or drive to Des Moines everyday.  I don't know.  This seems to be my mantra lately of what I want to do... I don't know if I want to keep this job, if I don't what will I do?  What should I do?  What can I do?  I don't know...  I don't know! Sucky feeling.
