Day 4-My new job

It may seem silly to post about working the day after I posted about staying at home.  But at this point I feel like I have the best of both worlds.  I am home all day with the kids and then I go to work for a few hours a few times a week.  Starting in November I will have a more set schedule five days on nine days off.  It will be great. Thanks to my job by the end of October we should have all the medical bills paid off.  By the end of next year all the credit cards will be paid off and Lee's student loans and then in 2016 we will be able to pay off my (huge) student loan.  Also our savings is climbing quickly and I get to go do something and use my brain and education.  Some family members have voiced they think moms should be at home and not work outside the home ever.  I feel very differently.  I feel as though the stars aligned and that God has been directing me to this job for the past five years.  Too many things and too many inspirations for me to deny this is where I need to be for now. 

The new job has not been without some bumps in the road and both Lee and I are realizing that my schedule isn't as flexible as it was. But we are adjusting. 

I love the new job I love the quick pace I love interacting with patients and doctors and nurses.  I like feeling part of a team.  But the real reason I work is money. Although I would probably work even if Lee was making more. The ability to so quickly get rid of bills is amazing. 

Speaking of new job I need to go get ready.  :)

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
