It has not been the best week around here but I'm going to post a quick update. I'm rather sick of myself these days and how consumed I am with "life" at the moment and I'm sure I'm not the only one so this will be a short post.....
Eric didn't get picked for testing at BP which deflated both of us much more than we anticipated. I started my A&P class last week but got a phone call on Friday for a job interview. It's only part time but it would require me being away from my family 5 nights a week. I'm feeling overwhelmed with school so I'm feeling the pressure to choose one or the other. The job is part time but this class is requiring so much time I just don't know if I have the energy. If I took the job it would also prevent Eric from accepting one right away as I would need to give a two week notice, it would also require Eric to drop his math class he just started. On the other hand I can't believe I am even debating the issue. The extra money is completely needed and would help reduce the financial stress considerably. I hate to admit I'm feeling sorry for myself this week but the fact is I have really committed myself to getting my prerequisites done this year so that I can get on that waiting list before the next program starts. It's quite possible dropping the class would set me back a whole year in my program. The whole idea of me doing the program is so that I can go back to work and make better money than I could now. I seriously don't know what to do. I wish someone would tell me the right answer.
Christ the King had it's grand opening in Ferndale today and the subject was very timely with what we are going through and it's given me a new sense of peace so I am just trying to remember there is a reason for everything and there are so many lessons we have learned and continue to learn from this journey.
Seriously, enough of that! Our camera took a fall this past week and we ordered a new one. I got a good deal on Ebay for a new one so I'm looking forward to that arriving next week. A camera is just not one of the things I can go without so I ordered one but ended up paying less than $200.00.
We are also back in our siblings class and I am so happy to be back there. I have missed it so much and love seeing how my girls have changed since the last time. Madison was the helper to the assistant and set the table last week, she's growing up so much.
Despite the less than perfect week we continue to pray for a job for Eric and that life can return to normal even if it is a new normal than what we knew before.
Well, my short post ended up being longer than I anticipated.
