If you've been following my blog you know that the past two years have had ups and downs--especially these past 6-9 months of moving and readjusting ot life and practically starting over. I'm working 20+ hours a week at my new job. I really enjoy my job. This time when I took a job; I told hubby that I was just going to plan to work from now on--to help pay off & stay out of debt--and to later build wealth. It's just a necessity. Of course that means it's one more thing on my list of things to get done. I have been struggling with school all year b/c of our displacement. These past couple of weeks there has been lots of struggling. We are now considering public school for next school year. It breaks my heart to say it & yet there is a peace with the thought. The kids and I stopped by today to visit the school. (The school was on Spring Break.) We met with the principal & toured the building. It's a small school. (650 students K-12) SweetieGirl and Mac were excited and loved it. GeoJr. liked the playground and cafeteria--but just wants to visit. He's very apprehensive on the whole concept. If this is what is to happen for them I pray God will ease his heart. We are still in prayer as to what God wants for the children and what is best. It's not an easy decision. But nothing recently has been easy--nor is life meant to be. Pray with us for whatever is best all around. Also, if it is ps pray for the children as they will have to be tested for grade placement. I'm open for any comments and thoughts about this idea... (trust me I have pros & cons playing in my head all day long) |

Finally, we our in our own place. It feels great. Since I am now working the unpacking is slow...but I'm cool--I've got time. I was reflecting the other day.... I personally have had some very rough patches over the past two years. From loosing three grandmothers in one year. (two within 6 weeks of each other) Then all the turmoil with my hubby's previous job, moving and facing uncertainty where God is taking us and why he led us there in the first place. He is still faithful and providing. I still don't know the reason behind any of the past year (or further back), but am so grateful to at least be on the other side looking back. Things seem to be looking up for the first time in a long time.... * We are living in our own place. * I got a promotion and raise at work. * Finances are stabling out a bit (at least we have income) * George will be past his probation period here in a few weeks. (yeah!) * School time has been pretty good. Not to be selfish, but for my sanity I hope great things can continue for a while! I just need a break from drama and hurt for a bit. Due to the promotion at work the kids are staying with a sitter for a couple of hours 3x per week. (She's good.) I hated to have to do that, but a wider time availability was one of the circumstances for taking the job. I really like it though and the kids say they enjoy the sitters. The only not good thing at the moment is that Sweetiegirl has strep--poor thing she just laid around all day. She's on meds now and should be better by tomorrow. Gotta get to bed...I got be back at work tomorrow morning. Have a great day. GOD BLESS! |

Hi friends. I am working at a new Kohl's store and we are busy getting all the product out on the shelves. Last night I was putting belts up and the heavy leather smell took me to memories of my great-grandparents (Grandpa & Grandma Luke). They owned a shoe shop for many year, they sold it when I was very young, but the continues to do monogrammed belts and shoe repairs in their garage. They have been gone for many years, but I was surprised how that smell reminded me of them. (Songs do that for me all the time, but this was the first time a smell has brought up memories) So, is there a smell or song that takes you back to another time? Leave me a comment. |
