Moving

We are currently moving and it is on-going. It is taking a lot of time and since I did not take any time off of work, it is taking a little longer than usual!!!!

We are about 80% moved, we still have a few things to come! We are plugging away at it!

Kids are in new schools and the transition was smoooooth! It was amazing and peaceful! Kids all have teachers that are working well with them and understand the move is a little difficult! They are giving us room and helping us with learning the changes!! Adam came home from school and for the first time in months, didn't have a headache from a noisy class!!! What a relief!

No work yet on the interview for the position I wanted.

Thank you to all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday! Yes, it is true, I am a year younger!!! I just wish I would grow up instead of out!!!!!!! My goals for this year have not been all achieved, however, long term goals have! I'll share more later!

Thanks so much to everyone for your well wishing! Thank you even more for your prayers, and please continue! I can tell you that God has really answered our prayers and continues to, who else would have made this such a smooth transition!

I would rather not be, but..........

I am! One of those people you hate to move! We are not ready! Maybe I'll start to get ready tomorrow! For now, I need to sleep and go to work tonight and pack for reallllllllllllllll tomorrow! Please pray for energy for me, and tons and tons and tons of ambition! Thank you all so much!!!!!

YEP!

That is a picture of the new home! I am so excited! We have begun to move stuff in, but are going slow!

Did you know that you have to withdraw the kids from school before you can enroll them! This process takes me a little longer because of limited time, I do not have an entire day to do both!

My husband has found several great houses over the years! Each time, in the end I won't move, I won't go through with it! It scares me! I love living in the same place and knowing where I am coming home to each night! Because of the craziness of life this is a luxury for me for the past 14 years! I know to most it is crazy, but you have to know, the people I love know where to find me and how to get in touch! I can't tell you how many times there has been a note in the door from a loved one we haven't seen in a while or when someone has shown up on our doorstep! Call me crazy, I like that! I like that I can be counted on! I like that we were established here and my kids have only memorized one land line number in all their years, and only one address! This time, it was different, there was a confirmation, a sense of peace, of calmness and clear direction! How could I ever ask for more direction or if this is right, I was told and directed!!! No if, ands, or buts, it is right! How can you lose with direction like that! Hopefully next week at this time I will be blogging from our new location!

As far as cool other changes: Mitchey lost tooth number two!

I am writing a resume for hubby, he has always been self-employed and now is trying to try something new! He is gungho (I am apprehensive) and knows that this is right, so I follow!

Job posting ends today, and I find out if I get an interview tomorrow!

The kids are very excited for the change and still a little concerned.

I have still put in for a position that moves us from our current area, and that opens up in about 1 year!

Whew! Feels good to admit that we are moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feels great to admit that it makes me nervous and that I am excited too!

Change, change is good! Please continue to pray for the position for me and add to your prayers the smooth transition for my family!

Crazy Schedule..Hoping for a new position...annnnddd

Something we have been believing for!!!!

Are you ready to read my RAAAAAAMMBBLLLEE

two days of midnights and finishing on my first day off is rough, I lost 1/2 a day somewhere!!

Life is so amazing, I love watching life happen

Did you know that Stephanie and Sara are pregnant!! Funny thing, on our way out of Costco tonight, I asked hubby: "aren't you so happy we aren't having any more children?" He did not reply! I think he might have liked more children, or so he thinks he would! I am very content with the size of our family and the children we have!

Scott posted on evangelism tonight and I really think he hit on some good points. Not so much the bad weather the endured but what he viewed and took for opportunity for the next time!

The job posting closes in two days and now. so many other changes have taken place at my place of business. I still said I would move for a better position, but that doesn't take place for over 1 year. The position I am seeking, keeps me in Chicago for a while longer!

I have great family! I am going through a ton of changes right now and both my mom and my mom-in-law were here tonight to help! What a blessing is that!

Goals, goals goals, what will I have reached and what shall I set for next year!

I like routine and when it is thrown off, I tend to forget what needs to happen!!

My boss is retiring soon, I need to get promoted while he is still there!!

LAUNDRY, so much laundry! 1 more day off, I need to get it done!

Do I have the only boys who totally toooooootaalllllllllllly miss the toilet bowl!! This is making me crazy!! What can I do!!

So much to do! I better get on with it!

I want this job.........

It posted, the job in the "Roundhouse" the type of job I have been in training for! This job is what "they" have sent me back to cover, until they find someone. I sure hope I am someone that can fill these shoes!!! I am not exactly the perfect candidate but I am extremely motivated and extremely SCARED!!! I am one week from my 36Th Birthday and this is the last goal I had set to achieve in this year, it still has time to happen.
I am asking, Believe, pray and hope with me, please!

Everything always works out

I have another option as of yesterday!! I went back to the yard I was so sad to leave and do you believe they posted an exempt position!! Yes, this is what I have been believing for, I am hoping now the timing is right! Don't get me wrong I also put in for the position that will have us moving, this is such an awesome opportunity it was too hard to pass up!

But, in the real amazing news, the news that means the most to me...

Someone lost a tooth and before he turns 7, unlike the others!! I know so unusual for everyone else, since kids are usually younger! My children have so far lost their first tooth when they are in first grade, 7 years old. Both of the older two lost their first tooth in the car! So this is a first, first, first: 6 years old, at home, and I wasn't there!! Still exciting, I came home to find one clean tooth out of mouth! Oh yes, tooth fairy visited and she pays well for clean teeth.........$2. Did I mention I missed that part too. Daddy didn't, and he says Mitchey was excited! We have a very cool tooth fairy.
