It only gets better...

I guess that I have had one of the best weeks that I can remember in the last several months. After a few very emotional weeks things are looking up. Alacare called today with salary quotes and to set my first day of work. First it is more than I thought I could negotiate and I was anxious about what they would offer. So, get ready girls I will be able to be at most of our Angels functions and at church every Sunday. If you get sick of me I am sorry but I am here to stay. When I called my father-in-law to let them know(because they are in Florida and I would fit in the suitcase) he reminded me that there was a plan even if I did not know it at the time. Oh, gotta go got one in the tub that has become itchy and is not starting to develop spots on her face with little white bumps(vesicles) in the spots. It may be chicken pocks, we'll see. Gotta go look up the rash in my books. The life of a mommy nurse!!!

I have to say that crying is not an option..maybe

I have been at wits end the last few weeks trying to figure out what to do about work and everything else we have going on. I finally just quit worrying over it all and decided that GOD would take care of it and I would just have to wait( definitely not my strong suit). Well, Monday while I am eating lunch at nearly 3pm I get a phone call from Alacare Home Health and Hospice in Scottsboro wanting to know if I am still interested in a job! Well, very calmly I say "yes" and so I am currently waiting to hear from Human Resources to know about pay and my start date. I came home Monday with a total sense of peace about whatever GOD has in store our life. I have called so many people to let them know what is going on. I would like to say thanks you to all of you that have been praying for us and those of who have been a blessing to me.

Do I look old?

OK I have to say that I feel old today. In January I will be a great Aunt (by Chad's middle nephew Sammy) so I am a tab stressed about being a great Aunt when I feel that I am not finished having my own children. Just a side note, because I am beginning to think that I am aging quicker than I realized. Oh, well just what happens to us all.

well I could shout but....

I guess for the first time in 15 years my husband has really thought I have lost my mind. We were over at our new house and I saw the SOLD sign that had been placed in the front yard and I began to jump up in down in the driveway. I was doing my version of a victory dance my husband walks out of the house and thinks I have lost my mind. He finally figures it out and begins to join in and then the kids think this is great. Later on that night we come back and have our first meal in the house sitting on the floor eating Capt'n D's and I start crying because we are getting closer to having our first NEW house and I won't have to remold anymore. I guess this all the culmination of everything that I have heard this week. I think that WMBW has been ministering to me because every show has been about faith that GOD will bring us thorough the fire and he will bless us for the journey. I know that things are coming together I don't know how or what happens next but we are waiting and learning to let go and let GOD take care of everything.
I hope to have some pics of the house to post and take my FRIEND (my one and only) to see it this week. Well, I will cut this short because there is a cake to ice and ham to finish and three children (borrowed Laney tonight) to get bathed, hair done, and the promised nails painted.

Spelling problems...

Well since I started this blog my friends have reminded me that there is spell check available for my posts. That is great, I have 5 years of college and can't find spell check without help. All that money could have been saved. haha. I am still figuring it out and hope to get better and even remember my password and username everytime I log in. I know that this is from sleep deprivation but at this point and I can't remember how to sleep more. I gotta go stop the fight in the tub that is getting louder and more toys are being launched against the wall. Thanks for keeping up with us.

The world didn't end, but close...

Well, This has been a very confusing last couple of weeks and I had to creat somewhere to vent all of this out to. I have been job hunting as most of you know and now we are on a very urgent house hunt. Our current living situation has changed and what was to good to be true has turned out to be a living nightmare, but all is in GOD's hands. I have been do depressed and unable to even share with my closest friends what we have been through because I could not do so with out crying. I now open up because most everyone that is close to me thinks that I am having martial difficulties. I will lay those thoughts to rest by saying that things could not be better between Chad and I. Through all of our difficulties it has caused our marriage to strengthen and brought to our kness each night together desperate for GOD's plan for our life. Our kids are Ok and have no idea why we are looking at houses but are excited about having their own rooms again. For those of you who find my blog please pray for us. For the first time in our married lives we are stepping out on total faith and praying for that GOD will take care of us in this crazy time and bring about peace in our family.
