Thank you all for your prayers for my aunt! I know they will mean a lot to her.
And I'm here again to ask for one more prayer! My mentoring teacher's mom has had her Pace Maker fail twice this week. It seems that she is doing better now, but please say a prayer for her if you think about it. It's been a rough week for their family.

Ya know, I used to look forward to weekends. I used to love it when the week sped along and Friday arrived. But lately, I love the week. I love teaching! It's challenging and frustrating and wonderful. My weekend job is retail, and well... I don't love it. I will not be sad when it's time to say goodbye to selling clothes forever!
The worst part is the pressure they put on us to put pressure on the customers to sign up for a credit card. In this economy, nobody needs to go into credit card debt! And it's so very easy to charge $300 worth of clothes when you know you can't afford it. I just don't feel right asking people to sign up for a card when I know the holidays are coming up and it would be easy for someone to max out their card when they can't afford the things they are buying. Sure, people might choose to do it anyway. But I don't want to be a part of it!
If I thought I could go out and find a new job that would allow me to only work weekends, plus be flexible with me so I can go 3 hours to see my family on holidays, I would. But anyone who is hiring right now is doing so just for the holidays, and I need a job until at least May. I guess I'm just going to have to focus on how great the weeks are, and remember that the weekends often fly by.
Because tomorrow I might have to go and fly awayyyy.
