Awesome God

I'll be honest, it's been a rough week. I was in such a terrible mood yesterday that I called up my bestest friend in the world and vented to her for about 20 minutes straight. And it didn't matter that most of what I was saying was completely illogical, she knows me well enough to know exactly what I needed at that moment -- and that was just to be heard. I've only had a few people in my adult life who I have been close enough to that I could say or do anything in front of them. I hope that anyone here reading this has someone like that in their life. Someone that you don't hide ANYTHING from.

So I moped around yesterday for most of the day. Jennah and Jake were with their dad and Emme stayed busy with reading, school work, cleaning her room, and Littlest Pet Shop. I thought for sure I was coming down with something. My whole body just ached and ached, I was really light-headed, weak, exhausted, and my head was pounding. Around midnight last night I took one of Mike's muscle relaxers for my aching and I was out about 20 minutes later. And I had a great night's sleep! FINALLY! I've been tossing and turning and not sleeping for the past couple of weeks. My mind races as soon as my head hits the pillow. The stress over how to get all the bills paid and pay our debt down, etc has really been weighing on me.

ANYWAY -- this was supposed to be a happy post!

I woke up feeling great! Aches and pains gone, headache gone, sore throat gone, and in a cheerful mood!! Our God is an awesome God!

Then I got some wonderful news! I got hired for a part time job doing accounts payable! Next week it will be 4 days so that he can show me what to do. After that I will find out when I'll be working, but probably about 2x a week. It's not much, but that works out perfectly! I want to help out financially without taking away too much time from the children. They are all at such impressionable ages and I feel like they really need the stability of a parent. Any time I do need them to stay with someone, it will be with my parents.

My ex-husband got some free movie tickets from work and he is giving me one so that I can go see "Twilight". I'm really excited! I think I will be going Wednesday night. I hope it is even 1/4 as good as the book.

Well, it is about time for "girls' night" -- The girls and I watch a movie or just hang out on Friday night. I have the 2nd disc to the 2005 Little House on the Prairie, hot cocoa and extra marshmallows!

Have a blessed weekend,

Sherry
