8 weeks or so of cRaZY!

So, Natalie continues to have a double ear-infection.  She's on her 4th round of antibiotics.  If it doesn't clear up, we will be looking at tubes.  It makes me a little sad, but we have to do whatever is best for her.  I just wish she would get better.

We've had many rounds of sickness of various types.  Last week and the week before was thorow up.  Landon had a fever a few weeks ago.  I had a cough that kept me up at night.  I had to sleep in a chair for a few days.  Tonight, Matt's not feeling well.

We were trying to sell our home to buy a house out at Lake Shores.  That fell through.  Someone else gets to enjoy that big, open kitchen.  :'(

I was suddenly faced with a decision about whether or not to put in for a full time job.  And after much prayer, I decided to hold out.  Quickly learned that the position was filled before I even had a chance.  Some said, oh that has to be a relief.  Honestly, I was numb.  I had prayed so much about it, that I was physically exhausted.  And honestly, somewhat disappointed. 

Another opportunity came to fruition, only to go to the informal interview and be turned away.  Uhhh, yeah.  That really happened to me.  I still can't believe this particular situation.  I am trying to work through this as it cannot be remedied quickly.

And then Sunday, a lovely couple sat down near me and my children and talked about how she was a stay at home mom for nearly 15 years.  And went back to college to get a Master's after 20 years.  She's happy and feels very blessed and that she is living out God's plan, not her plan, but God's plan.  It was just what I need to hear!  Reaffirming my feelings about returning to work and again felt like God was answering a prayer.  What a God send!  I told them so!  God knew what he was doing when prompting them to sit with us! 

I am looking forward to Easter!  I am looking forward to Natalie's Birthday!  I am looking forward to turning another year older!  I am looking forward to better weather and afternoons outside!  I am looking forward to Daffodils and NEW life!
