new little job

Now about my new little job. I’ve now been herding kiddos for 1.5 wks. I’ve been peed on once, retrieved a poop ball off the floor, wiped countless noses, and learned the importance of time-out and naptime. Oh, and when they’re completely out of control and running amuck, flashing the overhead lights gets their attention [...]

kill me now

Today, tomorrow, and Friday are dedicated to my dear, sweet, youngest sister Susanna. It’s 1:30pm on Day 1 of this Susannathon, and I’m seriously contemplating stabbing my eyeballs out with the nearest pencil. Seriously.
Her brain. Oh my. It goes in 20 directions. All at one time. Talking to her is like swatting gnats. I made [...]

Hello, World

Let the Chronicles of Social Sarah continue…
Arose yesterday morning after a night jam-packed with good times.  Ron, my former boss, was the headliner of my dreams – I had actually somehow forgotten just how terrifying he could be – how his hooded eyes could look at me and I would just curl up under my [...]

nerves

Today, I was social with a vengeance. Went to lunch with Bobby’s company in celebration of VIEW’s one-year anniversary, then came home, printed out resumes, and headed back out in search of a job. I didn’t find one, but I’m now officially a volunteer at the Anderson County Museum. My first volunteer shift is tomorrow [...]

this morning’s conversation

Daddy: Blahblahblah-Dave Ramsey-blahblahblah-Michelin-blahblahblah-Ceilbrite-blahblahblah
Me: [Interrupting him, employing the surprise tactic 'cuz I'm sneaky like that] So when are you getting remarried?
Daddy: [Surprised, laughs] Well, Sarah, I’ve rescheduled it for next week.
Me: Ha. Funny. I’m serious.
Daddy: I don’t know. When the time is right.
Me: That’s a non-answer. Have you talked to Mr. Oklahoma-Preacher-Man about it?
Daddy: Well, yes. [...]
