So much to say, so little time!

Yes I got the job. It's not the greatest job but it is a paying job. It also makes me stand on my feet 8 hours a day, moving so I am gaining muscles and losing weight and getting paid! Like I said, it's not the greatest but it has it's benefits. Like, knowing someone finally thought I was a good enough person to take the chance and hire! Helped my spirits lift instantly!

I started on Monday the 9th and worked the 10th and 11th. The 11th of Feb. is not usually a great day for me, as my father passed away Feb. 11, 2004. Five years without him, seems weird still. I miss him, even though he was grouchy and wasn't a present dad in my life. I still miss him. However, last year on the 11th of Feb. I was very present for the birth of my niece, Emily and now I have something really great to think of on this day. She turned one! I didn't get to see her because I was at work but I did speak with her on the phone. She has got yah down really good!

Steve is at a job interview right now and he has another interview the 17th. Both jobs he would take in a heart beat but the one on the 17th is almost to good to be true and they really are interested in him. So if your following along, please pray for him that he gets it. He has been so depressed especially me going off to work and him staying home, not providing for his family. I tell him he is nuts, he has provided for almost 16 years and he will again as soon as God finds him the perfect job. Or a job. In today's economy, a job is a job!

Everyone is having a hard time adjusting to me being away from home from 2pm to 10pm. The kids miss me terribly since we have never been apart for more than just the school day and a few vacations I took without them. (Those are really called, saving mom's sanity trips!) We are all adjusting. The benefit is I get way more hugs now and when we are together they really pay attention to me! Maybe change isn't a horrible thing.
