Wow!!
I have been gone for sometime, huh?! For good reasons, I suppose?!
Last week I started my new job. Sunday night was really hard. Thinking about leaving the kids, asking God again and again "really is this what I should be doing" Getting out of the house with complete strangers. And when Monday morning came...I felt GREAT! Training for 3 days. And 2 nights of working on the floor with a trainer. That is 5 days! WOW!! And I live to tell about it! I like the job very well. It has
given me an out! I feel wonderful. My kids were totally fine...(thanks to good friends and a loving family) And I will be adding a small but needed income to our family. This coming week I work 3 days. One with a trainer, and the other two by myself!!
Cha-
Ching!!! Pray with me that this week will go as smoothly as last!!
In addition to starting this new job, I have been keeping up with the housework. With Johnny and the kids' help. And most importantly spending time with J, A, A, and C! So, not much time for blogging! I always thought if I had a job (outside of our home) I would use my "free" time more wisely. And I was right. While the big kids were at school, Cash and I have played more together, read more and really enjoyed our time together! Knowing that in a few hours Mommy would be leaving! As far as the big kids, I have
definitely enjoyed my time with them too! Although Thursday I only saw Austin for a total of 1 hour....ALL DAY!! I am afraid that my days with spending "Mommy and me" time with him are few and far between. He is getting older and would much rather go to a ball game or hang out with his friends than chill with his
Momma....he does though and I cherish EVERY minute of it!!! Even if it is only for an hour!!! Allie has been a real trooper this past week. She has helped me out a ton. And I am afraid that all this rush rush may have her a little down. Last night she had a temp. And these days with all the flu's going around a
temperature is just nothing to mess with. So,
Motrin and rest for my Princess. And for her
Momma....a very restless night sleep with a sick girl!! Today she has no fever...(weird) but I am grateful for this. And I have spent the entire morning washing bed sheets,
curtains, and Lysol on everything that can handle it!! Church clothes back in the closet for next week.....I promise!!!
Last Monday, Austin's fall baseball team came in second place in the tournament!! WOO
HOO!!! He had a blast with his team and coaches!! We will be going back next fall...but for now the glove is up for the winter!! Speaking of winter...yes it is almost here!! BOO!! And speaking of BOO....the kids have their Halloween costumes ready. I will post some pictures soon!!! But for now the washer is singing to me and my little blessings are calling!!!
Tonight the kids and Johnny will be Trick-or-Treating!!
I am so very happy that Johnny is getting the chance to spend more time with the kids, one on one!!! But I will not lie....I am SAD!!!! Sad that I will not be joining them :(
Blessed that I have a job to go to, happy that I am making money and getting the time out I need.....
Sad, that I will not be with my family tonight!!! Oh and sad that my little Princess....
or Monster Princess left me today to go hang out with her friends....
