A. Working Out
B. Blogging
C. Baking/Cooking
D. Life

Oh hey, look at that.

This has just been a weird week. A "Natalie Funk Week" as I like to call them. Weeks were, I just don't feel like me.... Labor Day weekend was SO much fun. I love, love, love spending time with my family. My aunt had a garage sale Saturday and Sunday so naturally, everyone showed up. Give us a reason to hang out outside, drink wine, eat food, and chat and we're all there. I seriously love my family. I couldn't imagine ever moving away from them. I would be lonely and miserable.

Now, I had a job interview on Tuesday for a 5th grade position that opened up. I felt really, really, great about my interview. I worked with the principal at summer school even. I still haven't heard anything... my friend who works there said he said it was between two people. If I don't get a phone call or e-mail Monday I am throwing in the towel. I mean, they need a teacher ASAP. The 5th grade teacher got pregnant and decided she wasn't coming back, the 2nd week of school... so WHY are you people waiting so long!? UGH. I just really want this job. If I don't get it, it's not the end of the world, I'll still have subbing and I have my foot in the door at the school I student taught at. I am trying to see the positive side of things...

Anywho... Then Wednesday I woke up and my teeth were hurting so, so, so, badly. I couldn't take it anymore. (I had work done on a tooth like, a month ago and it still hurts but that's another story). So I drag my butt to the doctor. My doctor is walk-ins. I got there at 9 am and she told me it was already a 2 hour wait. SO, I went home and waited and when I got there  at 11:20 they called my name, wahoo! I didn't get out of there until 1. By time I got my medicine filled it was two. Then my mom called me and my sister had been in a car accident and her car isn't drivable (she's fine).

Thursday... I got called to sub. It was horrible. I dislike 8th graders. The teachers were interesting, they played into all the students drama, rudeness, horrible attitudes. The teacher I subbed for, he up and left last week. So they are scrambling to find a teacher for them. They asked if I'd like to interview for it, I turned them down. I am not meant for middle school, at least not at that school. Good lord I'd be gray haired and crazy in a year. I DID go work out Thursday, YAY ME! I took Zumba and then Turbo Kick and my body felt like jello.

Friday... I slept through my alarm and missed my turbo class, so I was not happy. Julie is the best, best, best turbo teacher. I hate missing her classes.

Which brings us to today... I've been doing a lot of sleeping on this medicine. While I have been feeling better it's really killing my energy levels. I am hoping to wake up in time for Zumba tomorrow morning. Lately though, it's just taking a lot of energy to get up and go. Since I gained weight this summer I just feel like a hopeless cause. I have been struggling with weight since I can remember and it never gets better. It's a constant roller coaster and I'm really sick of it. However, I am determined to get it off by time Camp comes around.

I want to break out of this funk. This funk of self-doubt and self-pity I have going on this week. Hopefully Sunday Zumba will do it... If not maybe Monday Turbo (if I don't sub, otherwise I'm not sure what's on the schedule for Monday evening).

It's hard not having someone pushing you. All Summer I had a friend who went with me and now, well that's a whole nother blog to bore you with later...

I feel better just getting that off my chest...

Also, seriously, I love following Curt Mega on twitter. Anyone, if anyone, reads this, follow him. His tweets sometimes are just what I need to make me think about my life, smile, laugh, etc. It always seems to hit home. He seems like an overall wonderful person.
Today's favorite?
"I don't always know what the future holds but I am ready to take it on with an open heart, ready to learn & grow :)" (like seriously, this is exactly what I needed to read this morning when I woke up).
