As I sit here at my computer browsing through job postings for both teaching positions and medical transcriptions positions, I wrestle with the hugeness of it. I am a worker, not a relaxer by nature. In the past I worked a full-time job, a part-time job, and I went to school full-time to get my Master's degree. I am no lazy slouch....but....all of that has changed. My perspective on life, my mental energy for work and for running the family. Will I be able to work, will I have time, will Dillon need me more than I expect once he starts school in the fall? So many unknowns continue to float around in my existence. Top priority is Dillon's continued care, and then there is the rest of the family that I need to keep functioning in a normal way....there are sports and music lessons and there are friends and family..how would I possibly fit hours of work in each day?? But I MUST...our finances are in shambles and the house payment awaits. What is a girl to do??
Big D had a basketball extravaganza this weekend. He invited several friends to the park and he played for 2 hours....boy was he tired after that. So tired that his belly could not possibly digest his lunch...oops. We are still learning when we need to make him rest so that his body doesn't shut down like that. It is so uplifting, amazing really, to see him running, jumping, laughing, roughhousing with peers, Luca's friends, Sean's friends.
The home school work continues. We spend a few hours each day. We get a lot done and he is retaining lots and lots of math skills that gave him fits when we first started. We go to UNM on Friday to get some blood work done.
There are going to be 2 upcoming fundraising events......I will keep ya posted so that you can participate in some way if you wish :))
As for the job or not it seems sometimes we girls just need to work for the shear "atta girl" it gives us. Glad to hear Dillon is enjoying himself and I'm sure he'll figure out that maybe 2 hours all together is/was a bit much to handle.
ReplyDeleteI am sure with a little time you will figure it out and i am saying some prayers that you will be gifted with and opportunity for greatness.
ReplyDeleteDillon I m so proud of you and hope that you can keep up the good work with school and music. And keep playing your sports to get stronger, the exercise will keep you strong and help you grow.
i love you all.

I know that the answer will present itself because unfortunately there is no "quick" answer to that. Your path will lead you to what you are supposed to do. If a job presents itself, it will be the most perfect job for you to be able to continue the care of your family. Until then, you just keep taking one day at a time and move forward. It is a stress factor that lives in us all - providing financially for our family, as well as loving them and caring for them. Your family does NOT doubt your love, so don't worry about that :) I will pray that you have peace with whatever comes your way! GO DILLON! Keep healing up that body!!!
