Credit cards stink!!!! We just got a finance charge that was way more than I expected for no good reason. I tried to call twice to get it reduced or removed without success... No surprise there!!! I need to let it go, but I hate having to pay them money I didn't purposefully spend! I usually don't have to either, but I fouled up this time. But it's a mistake I'm not willing to pay $29 for without a fight. We probably won't renew it next time. My own little revenge...

Claire is sleeping. She can walk pretty well now! She said "drum" and "balloon" yesterday and sings "a b c d..." without any melody, but it's pretty clear that's what she's trying to say. She got excited when I started singing it back to her at least!

Will it snow tonight? I hope so!!!

Next week I'm going back to my former work to listen to some former students present an oral project in French. It'll be weird to see them and evaluate them (well, kinda) again. Some of them were in a class of mine that didn't go too smoothly a couple years ago. It'll be good to see how/if they've matured and how I relate to them now as a mother of a baby girl, instead of a full-time, tired teacher.

Our pastor actually gave a good sermon last Sunday. She said she's always been around alcoholics growing up and probably still today. I can't relate to that, but I was very happy she shared with us. It's been six months and she hasn't shared that publicly within a sermon. I hope she shares more about who she is within the next six months.

About Me

Name: Sarah

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States

I was a French teacher for four years, a life-long dream achieved. Now, I'm taking a serious break to raise a family. I go to a United Methodist Church regularly with my husband, daughter and son. For my future ideal job, I'd love to travel the world eating in great restaurants and write food reviews!!! Someday I'd like to live on the Oregon Coast and be a translator for French tourists! However, in the meantime I'm earning a substantial income with Jewels by Park Lane, subbing & Shaklee!
