Don't pass out!!!

Okay don't faint. Here I am again and it hasn't been that long. I had my first interview today for one of the places that I applied. I couldn't believe it when they called only hours after I had applied online! Unreal! Anyway, I think it went well. Now I will have 2 more interviews next week and then I will find out if I have the job. It may just be for the summer but starting pay is $8.28 so I would be very pleased with that. I also have an interview with the school on Monday. I am really hoping to get on there again. If all works out I could have a seasonal job at the one place as a cashier and then my para professional job at the school. That would be perfect! So I am praying pretty hard right now that it works. But only if it is the Lords will!!
It is raining again today, but I am great with that as everything is so green and beautiful. Most of my flowers are blooming and growing well. Some of my Glads are popping out of the ground and I have some more to get planted. I was a bit slow with them but hopefully that will be ok. Then once the irises quit blooming I have 3 people to get them from and I can plant some more out front. I really feel blessed as I wanted purples and that is what all of them have.
Well only 6 days till my BIL and SIL and their kids come here. I am really looking forward to seeing them. It has been 6 years since we last saw them. And we both have had one child since then so that will be cool. They had a little girl a couple months after we had our boy. Should be lots of fun for everyone.
I suppose I better get going. I have to get some filing done and clothes put away and maybe a little more work on the boys room. Don't think there will be a game tonight but we will see. Sometimes those Little Leaguers are pretty die hard!!
Take care!!

Crazy weekend, wild week...

Can things get any more hectic!! Baseball is almost over, hallelujah!! Jeremiah has one more game and he is done. Brendon has to go through mid June but that won't be quite so bad.
Summer is finally here. The kids are out of school this Friday and I am very pleased with that. I will be DONE watching extra little ones!!! As you can tell I am very please about that. Now I just have to decide what I would like to do for a part-time job for the summer. I am hoping to get on at our school in the fall. I am praying pretty hard for that but whatever God wants for me is okay. I just hope He shows me soon. I wish I had the luxury of not working at all for the summer but I think it would be best if I did. I hate getting behind financially. So a job hunting I will go.
We are also Still working on the boys room. Feels like that is taking forever. James is working on the door and I am working on the window and closet finish trim. So shouldn't be much longer. We had the door in yesterday but found out the doorway isn't square so had to take it back out and redo some stuff we had done to make the new door fit in the old doorway. Oh well we are learning as we go I guess and it is looking pretty good. I'll post a picture when we are all done with it.
It is rainy here again today after several really nice days. I like the sunny days best but the rainy ones are so peaceful and cool. I really enjoy cool days now. Being the wonderful age I am....cool days are a blessing!!! I am in the thick of things and really looking forward to getting all the way through this "time" of life. My whole body temp has been warmer for the last two years and now I have had a couple of those wonderful "flashes" to go with it. Talk about HOT! Holy cow I was shocked by the first one. Happened at church and thought I was going to pass out from the heat! Sheez!! At least now I know what all the fuss is about. Hope it doesn't happen too often. My poor HH touched my back and burned his hand!!! Hehe...not really but he did comment on how hot I was and he wasn't talking about how I looked!!!!
Anyway, I am learning a lot these days. In some ways this year really sucks and in other ways it is pretty cool. I am learning to cope with a lot of new things and once I get to that coping part I am pretty happy with things. I find I am sometimes an emotional wreck and yet that is ok. It is a part of life to miss the passing of certain things. I miss all of my older kids like crazy. I remember how it was when they were all home ( CRAZY) and miss that so much. And yet I love the peace that comes with only having one little one here. He is such a blessing to me. He has so much love and shares it willingly with all of us. I am so glad that we decided to have a baby when we got married! Sometimes I wish we had another one but I think one is probably more than enough for the two of us. We have Brendon part-time so that helps with Jeremiah's need for a playmate. He loves his big brother very much. He loves and misses his way big brother and sister too. He keeps asking when we are going to visit them. Guess that depends on what the summer brings!!
Well I suppose I better get going on my day. Those clothes and dishes won't wash themselves and my vacuum isn't self propelled!! (haha) Anyway, hope you all are having good days!! Take care!
