Alright, so update time. A few weekends ago I went to VA to visit Jose and his family. Jose graduated from college which I'm SO proud of! I got to hang out with his family which was a little intimidating at first, but worked out really well. I enjoy them a lot. Then, he came last weekend for the 4th of July, so all in all I've been seeing him bunches lately. I miss him still though. Yesterday was his birthday and I think I finally figured out an excellent present to get him.

Lets see what else. I've been trying to work as much as possible lately, which has been semi difficult considering the family I'm working for was away in Kentucky for the past two weeks now. I picked them up on Tuesday and they're back. I'm really grateful for work, however I do not really like the job. Mostly, it's the little girl. She's kind of a brat, which makes my job really difficult. At least with the twins I've known them long enough and I know the boundaries and rules better, but with this family I'm starting new and it's difficult. She doesn't want to listen to me and I can't really blame her, I'm just an outsider. so, she doesn't. And then I get frustrated and angry and hate it. Hopefully as time goes on things will get better. I still have about five plus weeks with her. Hopefully we'll start to do fun things and then she'll like me better. I hate dreading work. It's just as bad as not having work. Ugh.

I'm so stressed out about money. I have to pay first and last month's rent and my bank account is very low at the moment (mostly because the family was away for the past two weeks and I haven't gotten paid for housesitting for them yet). I mean, very very low. Luckily when I was working more I put some into savings but even that won't cover first or last months' rent. I also am having doctor billing issues, as well as health insurance. Being an adult kind of blows, big time. I just want to have enough money to be able to afford the basics next year and it's not looking too hopeful right now.

Other then that, things have been decent. I'm working on my quilt sewing project. I'm really excited about it, though I haven't done it in a while. I'm supposed to fix a skirt for a friend that I have to do very soon. I have to go to work in about 25 minutes and I'm not sure what to do until then. I don't want to start sewing because then I hate stopping in the middle of a row or something. I don't want to read because I kind of have a head ache (mostly because of the lack of insurance which leads to lack of medication which equals head ache for Natalia)

I need to start having adventures. I seriously hope I get paid tomorrow like I'm supposed to because my cousin is going to be in NYC this weekend and I would LOVE to go see her. I love NYC and I've barley been, just once with Jose this summer. That's sad. I must go more!

Ok that's all for now, long enough update. More pictures soon (as soon as I take more...) and hopefully HAPPY things to update on too!
