Hi Dad

Here's to all the good times and great laughs we have had together.
Happy Belated Birthday!

Almost there

Ten more days until our Anniversary. The song that is playing is the song my brother Dino wrote for our wedding. I still tear up every time I listen to it.

It's the bomb diggity yo.

Planning ahead

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from his bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of his bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen.
Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in Heaven: there, spread out on newspapers on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies. Was it Heaven? Or, was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted; the wonderous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life. The aged, withered and shaking hand made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. "Stay out of those", she said, "they're for the funeral."

My 2nd Job

Thank God! I went to my interview over prepared and it was a piece of cake. I have medium sized plastic file box that is filled with lesson plans and activity ideas. It also contains my current portfolio of important "job hunting" papers. Caleb convinced me that I needed to take this file with me even though the HR Secretary said I did not need to bring a thing. As it turns out, I did not need to bring a thing, but I did look mighty intimidating to the other applicants. It seems like if you got called in for an interview you were pretty much guaranteed a job unless you really really mess up in the question and answer section. (I guess it was a good thing I did not tell the interviewer that misbehaving children usually get duct taped to the wall.) I am glad getting a job has been pretty easy. Now I just have to wait for all the paperwork stuff to finish, and the orientation, and the paperwork stuff and than I can start bringing home a paycheck.

Also my preschool teaching credentialing application is going to the State next weeks so I should have my official certificate in a couple of weeks. Whoot!

Interview

I have a job interview today. I am not sure how to prepare myself for this interview because it is in a field I have not really had too many jobs in. I am interviewing for a sub preschool teacher position. I have life experience and schooling, but not much else. I mean, I don't have years and years of experience so I am not sure what they are going to talk to me about. Basically all they need to know is in the packet I turned in when I applied. I think they just want to make sure I know how to speak clearly and I that I am not a freak.

Everyone!

We are playing Volleyball at church tonight at 7pm. I know because I have been contacted by three different people concerning this event. (I am a really poor player too)

Look it's a bird, it's a plane,it's..........it's a plane on a, yup that's what it is

By the mercies of God I found some cheap tickets that will take us to Tulsa for PEAK. I cant' tell you how relived I am to have finally purchased our plane tickets. We are officially paying 517 for two round trip tickets.(cheap believe me) We will leave on Tuesday night and then head back home on sat at 415pm. I have been waiting for the return flight to open up because I really really really did not want to have to be at the airport at 6 in the morning on Sat. God is good. This whole trip has kind of been a sacrifice for us to go on, seeing as everyone in the world is not as rich as they used to be, but the idea of not going just was not possible. I even asked Caleb if he wanted to just give up and stay home, but as I asked I got sort of a sadness in my heart and I knew we really needed to go no matter what. So with all that said, we are going to need a place to live for the next three months...... kidding. I really am totally excited about going.

Leavin' on a jet plane, I don't know when i'll be back again.

Who wants to be a Marxer

It's just as good as being a millionaire. Erica and I were talking briefly at church last night and we came to the conclusion that I just might be the next Erica Marxer. In spirit that is. This all came about when I was walking off of the platform after church last night and my shoe got stuck on my skirt and I pretty much tripped my way down the stairs. I found Erica and told her that she must be rubbing off on me because so far in the last three weeks I have fallen in a parking lot, rolled down a mountain side, and now this. I am averaging about one slip a week. She laughed and told me that it had been a while since she had fallen. So we decided that because of the move in all, she must be passing the mantle of clumsiness on to me. What an honor! I just hope Caleb will not be too embarrassed when I go sliding down the freezer section of Stater Bros cause someone dropped a piece of ice on the floor.

Erica, guess how I got this pic! I typed your name into Yahoo search and this is what came up in the images. AWESOME! your famous.

just for me

Every once in a while I like to unwind by posting any randomness that comes to mind. This is that post.
1) I have been taking some meds that are keeping me up at night, and therefore making me sleepy during the day. I am not asking for pity I am just rambling away.
2) My grass is dying in the front and back yards! I have lawn guys who come to care for my lawn, but they are not doing too good of a job. I would fire them, but I feel bad cause they are probably up on hard times like everyone else and I wonder if losing my business would cause too much stress on them. I don't want them to go do anything drastic because they lost another customer.
3) The dogs are good, Caleb thought Joey was going blind and was hinting around about putting him down. But Joey is fine, I checked :)
4) My garage is dirty again. Well, cluttered not necessarily dirty.
5) We have had an extended house guest, which has been cool. I am not so lonely during the day while I wait for my job to start.
6) I am starting a job, and I hope it starts sooner than later.
7) It is a pain trying to find tickets to Tulsa for P.E.A.K. I have been looking for a couple of days, and I think we have some tickets in mind. $517 for two round trip tickets. I think that is a good deal.
8) I have been praying for God to give Caleb and I a stronger burden for youth in general. Of course we love working with our youth group. It has been just recently that I have gotten a real revelation that we are not just working with a youth group, but we are investing in the future of the apostolic movement. I want my children to have strong role models/preachers/teachers and the only way I can help guarantee that is to put all the energy I can into helping our young people build a strong relationship with God.

And that is about it, of course there is always more going on in my mind, but give me a couple of months and I may share some of that too.

She said what!?

As requested, the story of why my hair stinks: My best friend in the whole world said my hairspray stinks! Whatever. Kidding, kinda. My friend Jaleah was told by someone (Erica Rose) that her hair smelled good. To this Jaleah replied, "I think it stinks". I asked what kind of hair spray she used and she said, "Yours". LOL, in the long run she did not actually use MY hairspray, she just uses the same exact kind. So in essence she thinks my hair stinks.

I like my hair spray, I use Aussie Freeze. I did not like the old sent because it smelled very much like alcohol, but the new sent smells kinda flowery and soft. Beyond all that I have done my hair in an up do and than taken my bobby pins out after church and my hair will still stay up!
In the words of Rev. Marty Ballestero:
That's what I'm talkin' bout.

So cute

I met Riley Colt Booker today!

Sleep Deprivation

Guess what! I went to bed at 5:11 am. Right now the time is about 10 AM, so I think 5 is my new bedtime. Again, I would not even be up except for the fact that I have to help with a pool party that starts in an hour. I hope I don't fall asleep in the pool because honestly I am dozing off a bit just typing (maybe my blog is just boring? naaahh). LOL you should see some of the words I am coming up with as my poor fingers refuse to type the right key. It took my five tries to type the word 'type'. typo, tping, tyues. I think if this pattern of sleeping continues, I will just start blogging about 3AM. That should make for some interesting reading.

How to become a Whoo from Whoville: Don't sleep for a week.
I'm almost there Dad. You have got to let me scan that pic so I can post it. If you do I will tell the Advil story.

I'm Back

I just got home from my orientation. There were about 80ish people at the meeting. I was told lots of stuff that I have already forgotten, but I do remember hearing that it will take about 2 weeks to process my new employee paperwork. That means I still have 2 weeks of non-working freedom! Yay, no taxes for me! After my two weeks are up I plan to work as much as I possibly can (is that how you phrased it Caleb?). I am a little scared though because some of my jobs will be at juvenile detention centers and ,as teen camp so aptly made me aware, I look a little young for my age. (most campers thought I was a bossy girl, until I told them I was 25 and a counselor) But we will see, I may just have to smack some kids around until the word gets out that Mrs. Dillon is one BAD MAMMA JAMMA.

INSOMNIA!

Ok, so it is 9:30 and I just woke up. This is really not normal for me, I am an early riser. For the last three days I have not been able to go to sleep. It is one of the more insane feelings I have ever experienced in my life. I am dead tired, but it's like the nerves in my body just won't rest. I start to fall asleep and then my back spasms or my legs jerk and I am awake again. Yesterday I went to "sleep" in another room cause I felt bad for waking Caleb up all night. I would go from lying down, to propping my pillows, to just giving up and sitting on the edge of the bed in a zombie like state. THEN, I started thinking about all the paperwork I needed to have for this morning's orientation, so imagine this, I am rummaging through all our files at 2AM. AHH I promise the night before last, I laid in bed crying cause I was so tired and I could not sleep (insanity). I think I did finally fall asleep as the sun was rising, so what ever time that was, (I guess I should have looked it up on the Internet). Honestly, the only reason I am up right now is cause my lovely husband just came and woke me up (like I haven't been awake all night). He is trying to make sure I am responsible and get to my job orientation on time today.

For the love of Coffee

This is what I want for my birthday! Starbucks on tap. I am totally addicted to coffee, and it doesn't help that there is a Starbucks a couple of blocks from my house. So even if I didn't have a car, I could still walk to get my coffee fix. My favorite drink from Starbucks is a tall carmel light frappuccino. I think I go to Starbucks at least three times a week. Now that I will be working I am sure I will be back to my college schedule of daily Starbucks stops in the morning.
What is your fav coffee drink? are you as addicted as I am?

The world is coming to an End

Ok so everyone take a deep breath and sit down, I have something important to tell you. I..........have........a ........job. It's true, I just got hired on as a substitute teacher's assistant with San Bernardino City Unified. Because it is a sub position, I can still pick what days I want to work, but if Caleb has anything to do with it I will be working as much as I can. (I get lonely when I am not in school, so he wants to keep me busy) Also, I have an interview next Thursday for a sub Preschool teacher position. I really hope I get the job because than when there is no work for the teacher's assistant I can work as a preschool teacher. So, keep me in your prayers on Thursday, I hope I don't fall down in the parking lot again.

Also I should be hearing back from the State about my Preschool Teacher Credentialing, it is not needed to teach in general, but it is needed to teach in a State Preschool and it is nice to have.

Donkey Rock, I recommend everyone needs to go at least once

I had an AWESOME AWESOME time at teen camp last week. Wow, I can not even describe how much fun it was. We had good fun and more importantly good good church. Bro Joel preached every evening and I am telling you, God moved in the alter services in a powerful way. I don't have any pics of the church though cause I was usually too busy to stop and take any, but take my word for it We had GOOD CHURCH.
The young ladies in my cabin were so sweet, we all got along very well and fortunately the only brawl we had was an organized wrestling match. :)
All in all it was a wonderful experience and I will definitely try my best to go back next year.

I Misspelled Choir

Glad I have Jesus

Well this will be a very long winded post, so but buckle up and enjoy the ride. Yesterday I had the most action filled, emotionally distressing four hours of my life. (Aside from the time I got in an accident on the freeway driving home from picking up my marriage licences. Sign? I think not)
I have been trying to get a job with the school district for about a month now. Two days ago I got a phone call to set up an interview, PRAISE THE LORD, that's what Caleb said. So, I called back yesterday and that's when my adventure began. I was told that I did not qualify for a preschool state license because a class that I took is not up to par with state regulations. WHAT!!!!! are you kidding me! I ask the man from H.R. what I should do, he said stop by the office, pick up a form that my preschool supervising teacher needs to fill out to verify my experience. OK! I can do that. So I drive to the H.R. office pick up my paper, look the paper over and realize I am only qualified (by hours worked) to be an associate teacher. So I get mad. There is no way that I went to school for two years just to make 8 dollars an hour! I should qualify for any position because I have my A.A. which should trump all this stuff.
So I take my hot tempered self over to the Child Development Department head and I ask her why I can't get a job I was specifically told I would be able to get. She then tries to calm me down and shakes her head and said "Yeah, we mirror our program to state regulations except in hours of experience". WHAT!!!! she knew this would happen and never told the students. She knew the class they push every CD Major to take is not as good as it could be and therefore the state scoffs at it. Now I am really really upset. So I then tell her " well then am I stuck? I went to school so I could make $8 an hour?" and she says, "yeah pretty much, all I can do is encourage you to get more experience hours." You should know the track I was taking to get credentialed is: you get an A.A. in child development and then take a mentor teacher class for Field experience. So I should not need 525 hours of experience! That is only for people who never when to school. Whatever
So I decide to apply for my state licencing in person. I go to the office, everyone is nice, I explain what is going on, they say, well fill this out and get your fingerprints done. OK! I can to that. I go to finger printing they don't have any appointments till next week, that's not cool cause I am leaving next week for FRESNO'S TEEN CAMP. So, in my extreme desperation and lack of pride, I ask if I can wait around in the hopes that someone will cancel. (cause this has got to get done today) They say, "OK that's fine, OH wait I have an open slot today at 1:20 but it is an 86 dollar fee, and we only accept money orders"
Cool, 30mins in downtown San Bernardino, there has got to be some place to get a money order. So I rush down the street like a mad woman and almost rear end some guy because I was not paying attention. I find a bank! Bless the Lord! I walk into the bank looking at the clock because I only have 20mins to get back, the line is taking FOREVER! I finally get to the teller, he is very kind ( a little too kind, if you know what I mean) He sweetly tells me that this bank only serves their actually customers and maybe I could drive around for 10mins trying to find some hidden Stater Bros. No Thank you. So I run to my car, I have about 15mins left. I see a Food4Less across the parking lot. I high tail it in the direction of the Food4Less only to be stopped by this huge curb that is between me and my goal. So I have to drive out of the parking lot, on to the street, and back into the Food4Less parking lot. I run inside (of course I am wearing high heels) Beg someone to call someone else who can get me a money order, get a money order, treasure as only a delusional overstressed applicant for a Child Development License can and walk out the door. Or I would have walked out the door but it was an enter only door and would not open not matter how much I moved around in front of the motion sensor, LOL there was an old man watching me and he just sadly shook his head when I finally realized jumping in front of the motion detector will not open the door. So I get into my car. I get to the fingerprinting office right at 1:20, they take me to the back tell me I brought too much money I will refund me 15 dollars next month. (YES!!!!) I turn in my State application they tell me I dont have to pay 55 dollars because there is a fund that is trying to get better educated teachers, so they will pay for it. (DOUBLE YES!!!) Ahhhhhh I feel such relief, I have on more paper to drop off, my work experience verification. I am talking to Caleb on the phone for the tenth time, being reminded that I should calm down, I am pulling my car keys out of my purse when I miss a step and FALL FROM THE CURB right onto my left knee. ( ARE YOU KIDDING ME!) the day has been so bad that was the breaking point. I sat on the curb and laughed a little at myself as I tried to piece together my phone. I pulled my skirt up a little cause it was white and gingerly got into my car so I could better inspect the damage done to my mortal body. It was a good gash (I should have gotten stiches, if only three), blood was running down my leg, it got on my purse somehow, and there was a little on my skirt but not too bad. BUT I still had to drop my verification form off. So I found a Starbucks napkin (thanks Starbucks) and a cute piece of ribbon and tied the napkin to my knee. (McGuyver ain't got nothing' on me) it slowed the bleeding and I drove to the other office building. I got out of the car tried as best as I could to Gracefully Limp across the lobby. (still wearing heels) I get to where I am going, I pat my knee cause it hurts. I guess I bled through my makeshift band aide cause a women siting in a chair across the room has an alarmed look on her face and I humbly explain that I fell in the parking lot. She suggests I ask the receptionist for a band aid, which at this point sounds like a good idea. I turn in my form and ask for a band aid, I have to again explain that I fell in the parking lot. To my surprise the receptionist laughs at me before she asks what size I need. I told her the biggest they have. So I now have a big band aid and no pride what so ever. I bandage my knee, get in the car and pray that today is not the day that I die, because at that point it would not have surprised me in the least. As I am driving home thinking everything out I couldn't help but think what the day would have been like without God. All day I was praying, pleading for God to help me get this or that done, for God to work it out, and even though I got beat up (literally) along the way, I accomplished more that what I thought I would. (The fact that I got my state app turned in on the same day as I picked up it is a miracle in itself)
So I would like to publicly (not sure how public this is) give glory to God for giving me a good story to tell and for just being God.
