"Antiquities" Pictures..Our Beauty Queen!

(I'm sending you all this picture in the mail)

Abby has been doing her "Homeschool" as she calls it. She loves it! First we do the workbook where she's now learning to recognize the letters and numbers. Grandmommy got her a great Phonics program where we go through the flashcards everyday and learn all the letters by the cd that we sing the abc's along with. Once she learns that, she'll learn the sounds of the letters and eventually be able to read the little books that came with it! She's so excited about it, she can't move on to reading until she learns the letters and sounds so she pretends and tries to trick me into thinking the knows how to read the books!

I forgot 1 thing. The hair day, I walked outside, and there on the windshield was a parking ticket! I had parallel parked on the side of the main road and pulled in from the opposite side, so the drivers side was facing the curb and apparently that is not allowed. So, it cost me a whole ten bucks, heh.

Well my hair's not like a "bad" haircut, it's just too short and not what I asked for. I have to fix it with a clip to the side and curl the ends to make it look right. I called to see if I could get my money back but they want me to come by tomorrow and see what they can do with it, although I won't let them cut anymore off so I don't know what they'll do.
Anyway, we did school today! We woke up at 9am, went to the library and picked out some books and came home and read them. We learned about germs and how to wash our hands a lot and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. We learned numbers 1-6 and I didn't realize Abby could pick out the number if you asked her to find it. She did picture problems like today she had to guess which picture has the boy doing the least amount of yard work. She got it right and got to color the picture. We sang the a-b-c's and had snack time and even rest time! We set the timer for each activity and Abby just loved it! I'm hoping to teach her to read by the time she goes to Kindergarten. I don't know how well that will go but I always remember how Jessica taught John Mark to read when he was only 4!
I'm looking into some part-time jobs. Tomorrow I'll apply for a Book Keeper position at the library. Monday thru Friday from 9am-1pm. We'll see from there :)

Hair Disaster :(

I went to get my hair trimmed and the girl put a lot more layers in it that I didn't ask for and put layers as short as my bangs on the sides where there didn't used to be any layers!! She showed me a manican of how my hair basically was before and she asked if that's how I wanted it and I told her yes, just trim it up a little bit and take a little of the thickness off the back. She took exactly 2 hours to cut my hair. I didn't see in the mirror until she showed me when she was done. I told her it was pretty short but that I thought it would be ok. Well, now I have short layers on the sides of my head and my hair is not really angled anymore like it used to be which is the whole reason I wanted my hair short!! :( I'm so upset about it. Don't ask for pictures because I'm not putting them up :)
I don't intend to say anything bad about her, she did a good job last time. I just didn't get what I asked for and it doesn't look like it used to :(

My interview went ok. I won't know if I got the job until Monday but I think I'm going on another path. Am thinking of homeschooling this year (yes that's right mom!). Will write more about that later.

I just found out the position is for a Loan Associate (not officer)..duh Bethany :)

I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!

Thursday-2pm with my bank, Unity National Bank, to be a loan officer (Associate?). I'm kinda nervous because I feel like I'm not qualified (let alone I don't even know what a loan officer does!!) but she read my resume and I told her on the phone that I've never worked at a bank before and she knows I don't have a degree, just a high school diploma. She said I would be responsible for imaging loans at the bank (I don't even know what that means! She explained it but I missed half of it because I was trying to keep Abby quiet, hehe). So hopefully all will go well! I think this is the one that's Monday through Friday, I'm not sure..I've lost track because I've applied to 8 other places! Yippeeeeeeeee!
