All Out Of Sorts


 I am usually a positive, upbeat, happy person but lately I've been unraveling like this zebra. My body is feeling it and hating me. I am in a mental slump. I've been feeling it in my body for awhile. I'm feeling sluggish, tired, and blah. I've been working out daily but it just isn't helping.

I'm going through a lot of personal issues going on in my head. I'm feeling disappointed about everything I do and can't see the positive. I'm reading into other's emotions and taking them too personal.

Lately I've been really feeling that every day is like high school all over again. I was (and still am) the girl who loves to make everyone happy and puts myself last. I always tried to be involved but was often the one that became invisible. I'm feeling that way again and hate it. I'm in my 20s and shouldn't feel this way. I've tried to not "try" anymore and just have a bad day but then I get told that I am being rude. I just can't win.

Ok now that I've ranted I'm going to make a change. I was inspired by Paige over at Running Around Normal Post on negativity. She mentioned this book and how it helped so I downloaded it today and will be listening to it.

I've also made a list of people who are always there for me to rant to and I know will always support me. I am also listening to podcasts of sermons from Radiant Church and reading my bible more. I know that God is always there for me to turn to.

Hopefully all this will work, along with school and work being done this week! If you have any other suggestions please let me know :)

3 Random Questions... Please Help!!

Well it's Sunday night again, I know this night comes every week but I still dread it every time. I had this big long post about how difficult my past week has been but I decided to save that for a later date, a date where I'm a bit more peppy and feeling like myself. To help ease my mind I've decided to ask all my bloggy friends for help. Please pass this on to someone if you know they can help!

So here are my questions in no important order:

1) I love linking to different blogs when I see/ use their fantastic ideas; How can I tell if someone has linked to my blog?

2) Beginning in January I will start looking for teaching jobs. Right now I'm really looking at North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia. Anyone have any other ideas? Do you currently work/live/teach in any of these states and have thoughts?

3) I am absolutely loving my Iphone 4 but I need help finding good, fun, cheap (preferably free) apps!! Give em' to me!




As stated before please pass on this post if you know someone who might be able to help answer 1 or all of these questions.

Stress, Stress, Oh How I Hate Thee!

Today was a bit stressful. I was tired. I was cranky and didn't want it to be Monday. Needless to say by the time school ended at 3:15, I was out the door and on my way home.

1st thing, workout time! I did the elliptical because I needed to go to my mindless place, you know that place right? Where you do a constant motion and don't have to think? Yep I went there and didn't stop for 45 min!


Then I got into my comfy clothes (yoga pants, ovesized fuzzy sweatshirt) and took a marvelous 15 min nap :)


I had to work tonight at the library so I quickly packed my favorite to go dinner. A stuffed sandwich and a yogurt mess (Chobani vanilla, granola, nutella, and peanut butter). This meal is packed with protein and fiber and is so filling!


Now I'm going to spend the rest of my work night watching these two handsome men! Seriously I think numbers has the perfect amount of cuteness, math, mystery, and general amazingness!
