I am amazed at how fast life goes by. It has been a month since my last post! I had decided about a month ago that I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough time on family and my other interests. The computer had been like the TV. I limited myself a lot on it recently and feel I have a grasp on it now. Kids are doing very well in school. We have gone back to the Prairie Primer. The kids learn so much more using this type of study. We are looking into the Further up and In next year using the Narnia series. Our son is thrilled. While he loves what we are doing this year it does tend to be a bit "girly" as he puts it. My husband has been teaching him woodworking, and general around the house stuff. It has been a great time for the both of them. God works in amazing ways....I was saying at the beginning of this blog about not having enough time to do things I enjoy because of the computer. I had been considering it since we had the drunk driver crash here in December. I went last month and voted in the primary election. I ran in a woman who when I was a young adult was my mentor while I was in the Fire Department and Ambulance Service. I had seen her around town a few times in the past few years but never talked to her. I kept saying to my husband that I would like to look into perhaps joining the ambulance again. But that was as far as it went. Well low and behold I saw her at the voting place. She said HEY I was going to call you today and tell you we are doing a orientation in a few weeks for ambulance and was going to ask if you were interested. I smiled and said I've been talking to my husband about it for a few weeks now. I sat my children down and explained to them what I was about to do. They were very excited about it. Then last Thursday she called and I went to orientation. I am again a member of our ambulance service. This Thursday will be my first shift in about 17 years. I am very nervous, excited and anxious all at the same time. For now I'll be a driver, back in the day I was a medic. In May I'll be working toward my Emergency Medical Technician certification. Everyone tells me its like riding a bike, you never really forget what to do. The only thing different about entering this time is I am now a Christian. I pray I will be an example to others. I will try and keep updating on my progress as I continue. |
