Week 2

Well I've made it to week 2.  I turned in all my paperwork and finished the first book.  My worker was impressed.   She did bring up my house and actually wanted to look through it and I told her no.  I know it needs a lot of work...however she did say that was the only concern.   I haven't accomplished much this week because I spent a day with my cousin (even got to go see the new baby in the family) and some time with my friend and her boys.   today I have to go to town for a show and auditions for the next shakespeare show.  
However I did buy a rug for my living room...$300 dollar rug for $60...yeah I'm that good.  I also have plans to get the piano and cabinets out of her tomorrow and that's one of the things she mentioned.  I haven't been back to the horse place which saddens me lots...I emailed a question and never heard back so I haven't made it yet.   I keep meaning to.  I really need to work on motivation.  I also haven't started the second book....ack.  Guess I better be motivated somewhere.   Or tomorrow and Monday morning are going to be extremely hard.
:-)  PS.  I LOVE SUMMER!

I'm doing it anew!

This summer I've really branched out to change my life and do new things.  I'm working with a Shakespeare company in a nearby town (hurts with gasoline, but eh) and am about to finish the first show this weekend and have already volunteered to be involved in the next one.  I also have started this whole foster adoption process.   I've had my first meeting, my house was not as clean as I wanted it, and have been working hard on the first book and two stacks of papers.  
Today (well technically yesterday now)  I went to a Horse rescue place not far from here to have orientation for volunteering.   I spent almost 3 hours there and really enjoyed brushing and petting the horses.  I've always loved horses and wanted to e around them and hopefully this will work out.  And no matter how much I want to (which I already do)  I can't take a horse home.  :-)   Although many were very thin, almost all of them were not shy or jumpy.   Tonight I really spent most of my time with the shetland ponies/donkeys and one big horse.
Hopefully all these new things will work out.    I'm excited about these new activities.  

Meeting One done!

Well today I met with my trainer.  I have 2 stacks of paper to fill out and a whole book to read and answer questions.   The paper stacks are about me, while the book is more about fostering and adopting and what it means.  There are 6 books total so this should be fun to do along with my homework for school.  Overall I think the meeting went well.  My house isn't as clean as I'd like it, but I got the kitchen clean and most of the living room.   I'm also starting this week volunteering with a horse rescue place.  I think this will be an interesting experience.  I've always considered volunteering at a humane society, but am always afraid I'll want to bring all the animals home.  I know I can't bring a horse home.  :-)

Here Motivation, Here motivation!

home after a weekend of fun with my friends and their boys, I know I need to start some massive cleaning but I am so unmotivated.    I have two days to really get this place clean, unless I don't spend time with my nephew this weekend...which will never happen.    :-)

Oh I also talked to the guy that is fostering the baby I was interested in...She's not up for adoption at this point, though it may happen and he said he'd keep me updated.  She's definitely not going back to her mother, but there is an Aunt and Uncle that may take her.      

Well I should at least get motivated to find some food.
