Job Update

I decided to put my resume out there and see what happens. The reason this decision is so difficult is the amount of money that's involved. It's rumored that they need people like me so badly that they're offering huge starting salaries. Enough that it would be college for everyone, huge savings, paid off cars, land, building a house, comfort, investments, anything we ever wanted. If a job that great comes along I don't want to feel like that idiot sitting on a winning lottery ticket. It's going to come down to the actual offer and if I even get one. I wouldn't work forever. The most would be 2 years, but I think one year is enough. I'm great with money and I would use it to benefit all of us and make sure we're covered in emergencies or anything.

Also... I can't go into too much detail, but the job would help people... very much. I would ROCK at it and I would be helping people and stopping others from wrong-doing.

See why this is so hard? I love my boys and I want to be home with them, but is this a sign from God? The odds of us ending up someplace where I could work were very slim. This base and one other were the only options. I have to wonder if maybe we're here for this reason. After all that suffering we're being blessed in outrageously wonderful ways. I knew things would be better for us, but God still amazes me with what He's been doing for us. Then I wonder "is this a test?" ... a massive temptation? What are the odds that our neighbor knows all about employment opportunities and is working in my field?

Anyway... it's lunchtime.

I understand. I would still be working if it wasn't for the deployment. One thing I found is that when I am working, I can't wait to get home, and weekends meant soo much more to me. I took advantage of every second of freetime, and for some reason I got more accomplished. I am sure you were like this when you were working. The thing is you will probably put your resume in and get the interview, and not be nervous becuase you don't need the job and then get the job. haha. isn't life funny that way.

yeah, it definitely sounds like one of those things where you at least need to apply and see what happens. :)

I would apply for sure,what can it hurt. If you don't you'll always wonder "what if..."

If I could get paid enough to really help out our family I would do it. For me I wouldn't get paid enough to make it worth it with day care. I would apply & then just pray that what is meant to be happens. Good luck & keep us updated!! :D

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
