Well, it is one week into summer break from school. I am finding that jobs are rather evasive little imps, and everything I seem to apply for just sort of disintigrates, or turns out un-get-at-able for one reason or another. I'm hopefull of two, at least.

Break began in a wirl. I lost my powercord to my computer enroute to the Homeland, and it has not yet turned up. I'm hoping it didn't come out at one rest stop or another. That weekend, two of my brothers and my father went off on a boy scout campout in Wakefield. They went to Jamestown (which, by the way, is celebrating it's 400th aniversary!) and had a first rate experience, but all we got to hear about were the knives on display, the latrine, and the racoons at night. Boys are great for details, I'm findin'. =) I started a job hunt, from which I have not rested until today. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. However, I think I've found an in.

It is quite funny to be "free" when one's family is still engaged in attempting to finish the school year. One thing is for sure, that if I will not do Seton with my children. I don't wish them to have as difficult a teenage life as I did, but of course most of that was just my own fault aside from Seton. If I hadn't read so many books, I'd have had an easier life. It is quite a wonderful thing to be free with school. I've reread three of my favorite books (Letzenstein Chronicles by Meriol Trevor) already, and am starting a fourth, more serious book.

I broke my camera in the last week of classes, and have continued to put off doing much in the way of talking with the company to see if they will rectify the situation for me, since I only had it for a few months.

As I was driving home the other day with several of the natives in the car, there was an elderly, heavyset lady walking down the road somewhat unsteadily with her fists planted very firmly on her hips. "You know what she's doing Naomi? That Lady's holding herself together!" How the heck am I supposed to keep them in line if they are so funny. I was not blessed with wit, but they seem to have got my share.
