So being unemployed has made me realized how "employed" stay at home moms are! It's been great these past two weeks to do all the things that I have been wanting to do. House is getting REALLY organized instead of just making do, I have gotten to volunteer in all the boys classes (which has been really fun for both them and I), I have gotten to go and help take care of some sick friends, play with Lexie, do extra work with Payson (we are still struggling with ABC's, but he is getting it!), and so much more (including doing my overwhelming load of homework). It has been a lot of fun and very rewarding!
Now with all that said, I still kinda miss working. I know I am crazy, but I guess I am just use to it. I do however get to start my internship next month at a Therapy office in Clearfield and will be doing some in home family therapy support in Box Elder County. I am very excited to start doing the type of work I feel is very important. This new venture, traveling to transport Evan's kids back and forth, going to school twice a week (one night I go to Salt Lake), and everyday run around has taken tole on my mini van and pocket book (gas money). So we started to look for a little car to run around in that would get much better gas mileage and didn't matter if the amount of miles depreciated the value of the vehicle. Well I decided that if I had to drive a little car then I was going to get something "fun", plus Evan picked out the mini van (we ALL know that wasn't me!) so the agreement was that I got to pick out the next vehicle. We found a cute Beetle and got a killer deal on it (guy just bought wife a new expensive jeep and had to get rid of it quickly).

Isn't it cute??? I get to zip around town in this and hopefully save a lot of money in gas! The kids think I am "cool" and Evan and I are already fighting over who gets to drive it. He no longer has to drive the 12 passenger van (which we got rid of) and likes the Turbo engine this has. I can't wait until the weather is warm enough for him to ride his motorcycle so he will leave MY car alone!!!
