A full mind...

equals stress. "JUST TURN OFF!" That's what I've been thinking alot lately. So many things going on in my little world. I have so much stuff to do around the house, it's crazy! Explaination; We have a basement, it's a big open room. Right now it's being used as a storage basically. It's not a complete mess, mostly everything is in bags or boxes, I just need to get them put away, somewhere. I really want to have it cleaned up, and set up as KenLea's room by her birthday, at the end of march. With my personality, I'll make it into a bigger project than it probably needs to be.
Last saturday, Braidon took the ACT, which he's never taken before. He wants to go to school in the fall, which I'm super excited for him. I think he'll like college so much better. He really is so smart, and when he makes a goal he is super good at following through. But, going through the process of figuring out financial stuff, work, classes, stuff like that is making my brain hurt. He wont be able to keep his current job once school starts, so we're looking at different money making options.
I really want to help earn moe-nay, so I'm trying to figure that out. I would teach more cello, but it's so hard when I live out here. It is basically not even worth it, due to gas prices. So, I've been thinking about baby-sitting. I'm at home all day anyways with KenLea, why not. I don't know. This is just me thinking out loud.
Which reminds me, we have to sell Braidons truck and one of our cars. So if you know anybody who is looking for an awesome "around the farm" truck, tell em to give us a ring. It's an awesome truck, and we really don't want to get rid of it, but since Braidon is going to be coming in and out all the time for school, we need something that will get awesome gas mileage. And I don't know how we'll sell my other car. It has a million miles on it, and needs a few minor things fixed. (sigh)
I don't know, thoughts of moving into town? I really don't want to. I love it out here, but maybe it's best to be in town though, where if Braidon has a long time in between classes, he can come home to study, or have lunch.(Oh the strain on my brain!) He'll either go to SUU or Dixie, so neither are too far. Although if it's Dixie, that's a 45 minute drive one way. Oh bother...
I'm in desperate need of a new laptop, mine sounds like it's going to blow up! And, the mouse is a little screwy, KenLea spilled some milk on it, and it's a little messed up. I got that wonderful new camera and photoshop for Christmas, and I really want to take pictures and edit, but I haven't even uploaded the photoshop yet because I need to get this computer wiped, see if that helps, or save up for a new laptop.
And as of yesterday, my treasured Canon Powershot (little digital camera) decided to create a black spot in the lens. Urg! So of course I've been looking up how much a new one of those babies will cost.
...after all this craziness, I really can't complain. I have my own personal problems, and I have these big "life" decisions we have to make, but in all truth, I really have it good. I have a warm house, food to eat, clothes, family, faith, and my beautiful little baby, who makes me smile everyday!
I really am blessed. Atleast I have a computer, a camera, a phone, etc...Heavenly Father really does love us. I know if I strive my best to do the right things, he will lead me the right direction, it may not be where I expect or necissarily want it to be, but it will be the best.
Oh, and I LOVE SNOW! I'm so happy it snowed. Best valentines gift! Plus this lovely card my husband gave me. Haha!

Sounds like a lot is going on! I have been a nanny out here in DC 3 days a week, and it is so great. I am sure it is different out here, because most families have both parents working, but I found my job on www.care.com. You make a profile, and then you can see the jobs that are available in your area. Good luck with everything!
