Wind swept

Dang it! I was trying to post often and them life got in the way.

A has been talking about getting out of the military. It would be a big life change for he both of us, but we could make it happen. I have been really worried about our relationship lately and we are both talking more calmly about separating as a possibility. Things like the fact that neither of us want to take the kids from each other and foster healthy relationships for the two of them with each of us. Both of us want to be close to the kids. We both think that it is important for each of us to get our educations. Without a proper education, how are either of us supposed to support the kids in the long run? We both don't want to restrict where each other lives, but luckily, both of us have the same ideas for future living places. I know, it isn't that ideal, and things won't work out perfect, but it is nice to have these open conversations with one another.

I am now a VP of a student organization and a member of a couple more professional organizations. I will begin getting my resume together in the next few days. Today, though, is cleaning day. Tonight, I have a leadership training and some homework to get done. I am getting my shit back together this week.

The post that makes me sigh

So I am looking into resources in the campus area. Looks like there are some really affordable ones around campus. How am I going to come up with $400-500 a month just for rent though, I don't know. I only make at most $80 a week. That doesn't add up to $500 a month though. *sigh* I will qualify for Food Stamps though as well as WIC. Maybe even a child care subsidy. My school money may be a way to finagle financing the move though. I don't know. I just don't know anymore what to do. I am a person who always knows what to do in every situation. Maybe I do know what to do, and just don't want to do it.

School has been going well. Tomorrow I have a meeting after my last class for AWG on campus. I will also put in 2 hours of work. On Friday, I work for 5 hours. After I get off, I will drive up to pick up the kids and drive back down for a meeting/get together at my bosses' house. They are feeding us pizza. Yeah for free food! It will be nice to hang out and get to meet everyone in the lab that I haven't already. Saturday I am volunteering to do game day recycling and am handing out recycling bags to tail-gaters for an hour. Sean will be slung for the time and Allie will stay home. Sunday is the Norman Sustainability Network meeting at 3 at the library. Adam said that he would watch both the kids. That should be an awesome meeting :).

Busy, busy, busy. I also need to put together an Earth Scout troop plan for the weekend as I am leading a group this year. I have to have it ready for the NSHA meeting on Sept 12. I can do it...I can do it...All I need to do is prepare a budget, set up a few meeting plans, print some flyers, make a website, secure a place to meet, figure out a good meeting time, promote at the NSHA meeting and around campus, get cheap or recycled/donated supplies, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....
