I have a job!!

I know I kind of disappeared for awhile but I am back now.  When I left you I thought I was going to be going on vacation.  First with my dad to New Mexico and then with my mom to Lower Michigan.  I had an interview about a week before I was supposed to leave and they would let me know in one or two weeks.  Since I didn't know what was going to happen I was still planning on going on vacation.

Well I got a call only a few days later that I was hired!!! Yay!  Except I haven't seen my parents in a while so I was kind of disappointed I couldn't go on vacation.  My job is at a daycare which is what I wanted.  I started only a couple days after I got the call.  I think I have been there for three weeks now and I am mostly loving it.  I work afternoons in the 4 year old room.

Last week we had somebody spill their drink at snack 4 out of 5 days.  And twice on Friday!!!  These kids are crazy.  So far we haven't had any spills this week.  Knock on wood.

Since I am only working part time I am probably going to need to get another part time job.  I would love another job where I don't work weekends but I don't know if that is possible.  We will see.

Husker Game Day

Husker Game Day

Football season starts on Saturday.  On my way home from work everyday I drive by a park where a bunch of little guys practice.  They started practicing a couple weeks ago and it has made me really excited for Husker football to be here.

Last week marked the beginning of high school football.  On my way home from work on Friday a woman called in to request a song.  She requested "Boys of Fall" for her son.  It was his birthday and he had a game in South Sioux City.  Plattsmouth played in South Sioux last week.  It was kinda cool to hear someone from my hometown on the radio even if good ole' P-town did get totally demolished.  It was pretty sad.  Apparently the word on the street is that none of the fall sports are going to have very successful seasons.

Back to the point of this post.  Nebraska kicks of their first season in the Big 10 on Saturday and I GET TO GO TO THE GAME!!!!  I am super excited (if you can't tell.)  The only game I had a chance to go to last year I had already agreed to babysit for a couple going to the game and then my bff invited me :(  Since I thought I might have more opportunity to work for them I didn't want to back out.

Anyway, my roommate/bff's grandma has season tickets and usually her uncle uses them.  But his family always goes camping over labor day weekend and they make the reservations a year in advance.  Since they couldn't go her grandma was going to sell the tickets.  But since my roommate and I both have Saturday off we wanted to go.

I have been seeing a lot of these "inspiration boards" from polyvore.com so I decided to make one.  Since the game is in the afternoon I don't know if I will be wearing a sweatshirt but I have one similar from last springs university collection.  And the rose earrings that I almost never take out of my ears aren't glittery.  And I don't have a pair of black flats (but I really want some.)  You can be sure I will be in my red and white.  I'm so PUMPED!!! Yeah!!

I'm hoping to get back into blogging.  I haven't felt very inspired lately but I think I might have some interesting stories to tell.
