What A DAY!

I took a vacation day yesterday because I had a lot to do and also 4 days to use before March 1, so I started the day with the accountant doing TAXES--FUN!

Later Monday morning I got a call from my attorney saying my divorce was final.

HERE is A little background--1)I did NOT want the DIVORCE! 2)yes this was my second marriage, the first one was at a REALLY young age and neither of us knew who we were much less what we were to each other after it ended I got back in church and met #2 through a good friend. He was active in his church and you could see God working in his life. We started having what I would call "average problems" but he left and took an out of control spiral that has caused him to be away for a while.

SO my response was "okay, thank you!" I have just kinda become numb to the above situation. I know God will go with me wherever I go (Joshua 1:9), even if sometimes I am outside out of his perfect will he loves me and will work everything to GOOD!

next stop was immunizations for Sophie, and after making payment arrangements two weeks ago for the open balance on her account the Billing/Insurance lady came out in front of the whole office and announced how much I owed and wanted to know if I would be making a payment today. I wanted to cry and got angry with #2 (see above) I kept it together long enough to quietly explain that the details of my payment arrangement was documented on the chart and I would honor that agreement, but no I would not be paying anything today since her immunizations are covered 100% (medical insurance is awful at least from my company $1200 deductible before it pays anything -- it does pay 100% for wellness check ups, so you can go to the doctor as long as you are not sick)

Last stop- lets call it final straw before my little breakdown!
Sophie had follow up with ENT doctor, We can not get her ears clear. For months now they have been draining really gross stuff. She is such a trooper though, no fever or crying with pain so we have just been treating the symptoms and going on. The Doctor decided we needed to be more aggressive because even though she does not seem bothered by the infections it is not good to go on like this, SO we are having our second set of tubes in the ears and Adenoids removed Friday morning (did I mention my GREAT Insurance and #2 not around)

I made it home and got kids to bed before I had myself a good cry.

Friends are GREAT!

Yesterday was a blah day for me. Thursday seems to be the only night where I am not running in so many directions and usually I look forward to my quite night at home, but yesterday at work I was starting to dread the evening (Sophie is in bed no later than 8 if we are home and J.T. disappears to his room for his TV time around the same time). All of my close friends are like me chasing kids, homework, laundry, dinner and the list goes on so I do not call people that often just to chat because I am lonely or bored (please do not think I am being snobby or anything, I just do not want to be a bother to others). Last night I got two phone calls and had a text conversation with a third friend last night almost back to back and it was great to have that time that I was dreading filled with catching up with someone I have not spoken to in 6 months, getting the latest info from a friend from work, and a conversation with one of those great Christian people I admire most. I thank God for sending each of those people to me last night. I needed each of those conversations last night and I thank God for being all knowing and loving me.

MONDAY was A Monday

Things have changed a little at work, due the economy. We are one less person in my department, no one has lost their job (THANK YOU JESUS!). We have an employee out on medical leave so someone from my department is filling in in that department and praying things get better during this time.

I worked through lunch yesterday to leave early (after a crazy day with no lunch hour) because JT had dentist appointment. We eat early (old people Early) no later than 6 at my house because my kids are STARVING when we get home, well since JT did not finish at the dentist till 5 and we were 45 minutes from home and I did not cook anything this morning (yes I cook dinner in the mornings-- how else could we eat by 6 when I do not get off til 5) SO we had mexican MY FAVORITE! I could eat Mexican everyday.

This is Sophie eating SALSA-- it was all her's at this point because she was double and triple dipping.

first post!

I turned 30 last week and was not looking forward to it. Reason being, Had we had a conversation on how my 29th year on this earth would be. My answer be very different than how the year actually went. Now being 30 years + a few days I have decided to look at my glass as 1/2 full. I know GOD has great things in store if I will only trust him and not put my 2 cents in and mess the whole thing up.
