Changes

As we began the new year, I found myself looking for a new job. Where I had been working had to make some changes including budget cuts and I was one of the cuts. A year ago Scott had been looking for a new job and we thought we had weathered all our changes (new job, buying and selling a house, starting new schools) and were in a new normal, and yet, we found ourselves navigating more change.

So I am a doer and a planner and within 24 hours of beginning my job search I had sent about 5 emails, applied for 2 full time jobs and already had one part-time job offer that I accepted. Neither of the full time jobs worked out for me. I did interview for both and one I bowed out of and the other selected someone else. But I have the part-time job; I do have a job.

This new job has brought confusion to my youngest because she doesn’t understand why her scheduled has changed. And she’s so tired and I wish I could take it all away for her but I can’t. So instead I sit with her while she’s mad at me (even in the middle of the night) and my husband and I try to choose joy even when we are weary of the tantrums. And while this transition is a difficult phase the bottom line is it is a phase.

I am grateful for those people in our life that are being graciously walking through this time with us. I am eager to see what else God has in store for us. And I am learning as Shauna Niequist said in Cold Tangerines that “I should have written in pencil.”

And on a lighter note, during this time I am apparently getting better at putting outfits together. I think people are shocked judging by how many comments I get. 🙂 So humor me as I share this creative outlet with you and find my new normal.

    1. Yeah and I forget that. Now Maggie seems to be almost adjust and it seems Elise is taking a turn. And they both just want more time with us that’s what all the tantrums and grumpiness seem to point to at our house.

  1. I have noticed that online diploma is getting popular because attaining your degree online has developed into popular selection for many people. Quite a few people have not necessarily had an opportunity to attend a conventional college or university although seek the elevated earning possibilities and a better job that a Bachelors Degree affords. Still other folks might have a degree in one course but would want to pursue a thing they now develop an interest in.

  2. Root access is also required as you will need to login to the VPS and type in a bunch of commands to download and install the proxy server software. Following the death of their friend, reveals the Daily Mail in their news piece, both 12-year-old girls were then planning to run away together and hide from the crime within the demon spirit’s secret mansion in the forest. Maybe the spammers and John Horton should be forced to eat some of that NABP VIPPS approved pharmacy’s expired baby formula.

    this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for

    get the hang of it!

  5. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter
    a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and without
    a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.

    Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for
    something concerning this.
