Update: Crawling Out

Doing better today. Have cried a little. I think I have late onset abandonment issues. Is that a real thing? Never mind, it is now.

not again.

One o'clock in the morning on a school night. What am I doing? Not sleeping, that's what. Luckily for you, dear reader, I am not the crying mess I was an hour and a half ago. I'm about ready to go to bed and try again.

Needless to say, I'm having trouble coping with the uprising of "those people." I made it through the whole thing quite well, and then on the way home, I fell back in that old hole. Then, the hole got deeper. I don't know why I have so much trouble with this. I really thought I was out this time, but it turns out I was just fooling myself again. I'll probably explain more later, but since I did some bill paying, I have calmed down quite a bit, which is weird.

There is no telling what I would have written if I had come here first.

Until I can explain,

SKH, blogging from the hole

I. LOVE. MY . JOB.

'm LOVING my new job. I'm working at a medical clinic
with preschoolers with disabilities. I have some
teaching responsibilities, but it's more like helping kids reach
certain goals than what most people think of as teaching. I really
like the people and the kids are fun, even if they can get a little
out of control sometimes.

I'm going to start my graduate program in January. It's
all online and distance learning. I've never
done those kinds of classes, so I'm a little nervous.

When I get my special ed licensure, I might be able to move up to an
administrative position as a program coordinator, so
that is also very exciting.

I'm off to Little Rock tomorrow for a friend's wedding, so wish me luck. I am going to be surrounded by people who have been very mean to me, and while I'm sure they won't make a fuss at the wedding, I will definitely be pushed aside and talked about. Pray that I will have the strength to ignore them and not respond to their hate.

Peace Out,

SKH

Birthday Presents and Drawings

Here is a picture of Roxie in her birthday present. She always has the crazy eyes when I take a photo. And, I've been drawing pictures lately, so I thought I would post them. Here are a few.

An Email From Ashley

Ashley: I really want to call you to tell you this because I know you'll laugh, but it's 1:30am, so I won't. I was just looking through my old texts and saw the one you sent me the other night about being hit on. This was maybe the third or fourth time I've read it, and first time I actually read it correctly. If any of my responses didn't make any sense it was because I read it as "Got hit on by an armed man last night." rather than "Got hit on by a one armed man last night." The word "one" was at the end of a line and I somehow managed to skip over it multiple times. Good grief.

New News!

A. Roxie turned two this Halloween! Let's look at how the little gal has grown, eh?

A few weeks ago while preparing for the Razorback game. Spoiler Alert: We Lost.


And unrelatedly, I found Elvis at a craft show in northwest Arkansas.

B. I got that job. Should start in mid-November.

C. I got hit on by a one-armed man with "the crazy eyes" on Halloween.
