The Six of Us

Last night we were asked to come down to the church and Lee was extended a calling.  A calling that will be time consuming and I am kind of overwhelmed about it,  I am thankful Lee was worthy enough to be extended the calling and humbled that they thought enough of him to extend him the calling. Thanksgiving was good and so tiring.  Maybe it is that I am back to work or maybe it is all the family stuff going on.  I am so thankful this year for family and friends.  

First day back and everything went well.  Except I didn't get a lunch break although I did get lunch thanks to the attorney who bought us lunch.  Court took about three hours longer then it should have and I spend the majority of my day at the county court house.  Life is good and we are so blessed!

I am sick to my stomach.  Tomorrow I am going back to work.  I feel good about it.  I have amazing co workers and I am so thankful for them.  They will make the transition so much easier.  But that is not why I am sick to stomach.  We got a phone call and  it won't be resolved until Wednesday.  Until then I will just have to wait and stress more.  :)

We have the dates for all the family reunions and for the bike trip and now I get to plan and budget.  the bike trip is already budgeted for.  I have a certain amount of money taken out of my check every payday and set aside for Lee.  Now I need to start doing that for vacations.  I love planning vacations although most of what I plan never happens.  We are hoping to do Disney land while we are at the beach.   I do love the beach.  Sitting there for a week with nothing to do and nothing to see except being with family.  It is a wonderful week that I wish happened every year. 

I am sitting he with red dye on my hair job searching and reading what others have posted on a internet group I belong to trying to figure out just what happened.  People can be so mean on the internet.  Anyway I cut my hair way shorter then I planned and now I am going to dye away the gray in time for some family pictures and Thanksgiving.  Plus I am going back to working on Monday which is a good and bad thing.  Still hoping something will be part time soon.  I have said that so many times I know.  Anyway it was a long day even though I got a nap in.  Something I have only done a handful of times since Andrew was born. 

Today was draining.  One of those days where you wish you could just redo them.  Our family has been going through a trial which at this time I am going to keep private.  It started in July we figured it was going better and  now clear that it isn't going better.  I am not sure if it ever will. This is in addition to the cancer.    We are fighting through it but it appears to be a losing battle and I just don't have the energy to care any more.  Yes that makes me a horrible person but I really need to focus energy on good happy things. 

Right now I am listening to an internet course the hospital required.  I was unable to complete it when I was at the hospital last week because it was so crazy.  I have four of these courses to do.  I would love to be able to work from home and it looks like I may be able to.  The state has finally joined the rest of the world and will allow us to work from home.  This means I will be able to leave work early 2-3 days a week and still get all of my work done.  The washing machine can be running while I am typing notes.  I will only write notes when the kids are in bed.   Plus it also means that I will be able get work done every night. Sometimes there are notes that would be helpful if they go in that day but sometimes there just isn't enough time in the day.  I still have six months to find a new job.  I am looking forward to doing something new and something more acute.  If I can work part time at the hospital and then do in h...
