Three hasn't been too much interesting going on lately, just the usual days dragging on, getting slammed at work, and keeping our fingers crossed that things will work out! Jeremy's yard sale thing seems to be panning out a little better than we'd originally thought, which is nice, and I keep finding more piles of things to work on. I tell you, being a child care provider is a thankless and painful job. There are brief moments when the parents tell me how awesome I am that it seems worth it, but there are days I just want to walk out the door and never look back! I've also decided, as I'm working at a church, that I'm sick and tired of hearing the phrase "non-Christian" used as a derogatory term. There are lots of "non-Christians" in my program, that's the POINT of my program, and that doesn't mean they aren't perfectly awesome kids who deserve the same amount of love, caring, and kindness. I can tell the parents who say this to me don't realize that I'm a "non-Christian" and that they're being terribly offensive, but I also have seen the reactions of my quite Christian seminary friends when they hear people say these things. Since when is being exclusive and looking down on people who don't share your views Christian?
I'll stop my rant there now, but it's probably the most irritating thing I deal with. Kids are kids, let them be.
Anyway, I've been getting myself together, did a lot of laundry and have been trying to get back in to the habit of cooking. It was so hot all summer that we didn't cook much and now that it's a reasonable temperature, I have to get back in the habit of shopping properly and cooking!
We've watched a lot on Netflix's instant play server, it's probably the best thing I've paid for in quite some time-- Jeremy can watch cheesy movies and I can watch Anthony Bourdain and Futurama!
Jeremy's birthday is next week, so I'm still trying to figure out what to get him, and though I'm fuzzy on the date I know Ana's is as well-- I totally messed up on that one and forgot to mail her present to Marc and Jan to be included, but no worries, it'll be on its way soon!
I'm basically rambling at this point, so I'm going to have a snack and hit the hay! More when I'm coherent/actually have something to say :)
Ciao for now!
