Hi my name is MOM oh wait my birth-name is Alexis. These days it's MOM and yes that's right it comes out at a level higher then a scream! I have 2 very active boys. Hope you enjoy the wacky world I call life between working full time and taking care of the 3 boys (that includes my husband).
Sorry you've had a rough week. What you said in your first note is true: God has a plan. Even if we can't see it, He has a purpose for everything that happens.
I LOVE church - just LOVE it, but there is a fine line between "serving God" there and "being busy." You have to say "no" to the things He's not calling you to so you have the energy for the things He IS calling you too. It's the hardest place for me to say no, but sometimes it's necessary!
We have never used turbo tax. We go to H and R Block.. I am sorry to hear things are going down hill for you.. Its hard everywhere. We are just happy both of us have the jobs we have even if we arent happy where we are. I mean I am but hubby isnt really happy with his job anymore.. It makes it hard..
Hang in there. When the going gets tough, the tough get tougher. I've been there with the overwhelming church duties. Sometimes you have to learn to say "no", even as hard as it is to let others down. You'll make it.
You know that I have been thinking and praying for you, I hope Rick gets hired soon. I know that something will come along soon and thank goodness for your dad giving him some work - gotta LOVE your daddy!! I know that not having as much work on Saturday & Sunday will mean a cut in money, but you really have been overdoing it and the rest will be good for you physically and mentally. I know the boys will love being able to spend more time with you. Don't feel bad about forgetting the 1/2 day - we have ALL done that, if any mom says she hasn't, she is a liar! :-) Take care... HUGS to you all!
