"Mommy, what do you want for Christmas?" Xavier asked last night.

"I want you to have the best Christmas ever."

"Not even a snuggi? Nothing?"

"Nope, not a thing"

I have been (sorta) patiently waiting for this great opportunity to pan out and it hasn't. I'm thinking the longer they make me wait, the less likely I'll be training them after all. Personal training takes a hit in these financial times-and I've been hit HARD. I've lost 3 very good clients in the past 3 months...it hurts. I try to remain positive and keep praying that God will send something wonderful my way. School is looking bad, there is at least a year wait to begin the program as well as 150 people applying for 30 slots. No wonder why there's a nursing shortage- there's an education shortage! I've been feeling really nervous about my future and my career. I checked out craiglist and found something that would absolutely be PERFECT for me and help my family tremendously. I emailed yesterday and now I'm walking around with my Blackberry in my hand like a teenager waiting for her boyfriend to call. Sad! Please say a little prayer for me that it works out...it would be a great job!!!!

Yesterday I planned to run 4, but 1.5 into it my blood sugar crashed and I cut it to 2. My legs were really tired too- I guess the 7.5 on Sunday and boot camp the morning after caught up with me. I did a circuit class this morning for boot camp because it was 41 degree, heavy downpours and 30 mph winds. I'd love to get some cardio in later, but I'm not sure if the weather will cooperate. Looks like I may be hitting the elliptical before work!
