This weekend was the weekend we had Christmas at my Aunt's house. I always enjoy getting together with my family. Like with anything else right now I could not simply let go and enjoy 100% like I normally do because of having worries of what will happen in the next two weeks. I feel like I have a chain around both ankles keeping me in prison waiting for answers. I do love my family. God has blessed me. For the first time in a long time it actually felt like Christmas all weekend long. For someone who is still lacking in the enthusiasm this year, it was great! Now I feel like Christmas is done and it is a huge downer.
I am hoping and praying I hear from a job in the next two weeks. I have no clue when. If this does not work out, I am not sure where else to turn.
There are many many many things on my mind I am working around which would be easier if I had answers.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas week!

Happy Tuesday Morning!
Well.....God is blessing and giving hope! I am doing follow ups this morning and seeing where God leads.
Last night my friend and I went driving around Rowlett to see the Christmas lights. Our original plan was to drive around for an hour then go to see Old Dogs. Well, it was time for us to go to the theatre and we both were so sad to stop seeing the lights. We decided to go to the late movie and drive around for another hour and half. We still did not cover the city. So many people had beautiful decorations and lights up! A cold front came through while we were driving around so the temps felt like Christmas. It was so windy all of the decorations were whipping around. It was soooo relaxing and theraputic! We were both yawning! We were soo relaxed! It was AMAZING! After looking at lights, we went to see the movie. It was so good! Much better than the commercials dipict.
Blessings to all on this cold sunny day!

Thoughts From The Week
Thoughts from the week......or more like venting on a Friday morning.
1. Why I am I always thinking I am one step ahead, get all excited, then find out I am 12 steps behind?
2. Why can I not get principals to contact me back? I have tried calling, emailing, even went to a school. Yet I still cannot get to the principal, even with an amazing contact!
3. When are they going to get done with this road work?!?!?!? I am stuck listening to it day after day after day after day. Not to mention I had a very bad experience with them this week!
4. Why do I spend an hour cleaning my floors to have the dogs go outside and drag in clumps of black clay all in my house.
5. I am tired of people thinking I do nothing in my job search and are suprised when they hear otherwise.
6. I am in serious need of a mental vacation but cannot take one yet.
7. I hate it when you buy something but cannot find it when you get home. I have checked the reciept and its on there. I have checked the car repeatedly and its not there. Who knows!
8. Why is it this time of year I have so much static electricity? Seriously! I am scared to touch anything!
9. How does one person have so much laundry???
10. Why did they change the Texas State Drivers License? I had to call my aunt to make sure I got the right thing in the mail.
Ok...enough of the negative....now some happy thoughts from the last week!
1. I love my neighbor! Her hubby is out of town this week and she has graciously allowed me to cook dinner for her every night.
2. I made a super yummy cake (this cake came from frusteration with road workers)
3. I love how my neighbor and I spent hours playing with clothes on Wed.
4. I love how God is healing me, molding me, and making me grow right now even though it is painful.
5. I love waking up in the morning to a nice warm bed and two dogs that are cuddled up next to me!
6. I am so grateful for a now working garage door opener so I can pull my car in while they are doing roadwork! WooHoo!
7. I love love love my fireplace during this cold weather!!!!!!!!!
8. I love my fuzzy socks that keep my feet warm on the cold winter days!
8. I love how Freddie comes and tells on himself when he does something wrong! Saves me a lot of time lol.
9. I love love love my dishwasher! I do not think I can ever live without it again!
10. There are presents under my Christmas tree and I love it!!!!!
11. I am so glad God is preparing me for a job and preparing it for me even though I cannot visually see Him at work. This is where faith comes in. (Even though I am ready ready ready to move on, I know it is for the best. He has my best interest at heart and can do a better job at my life than I can even though it hurts immensely. Growing hurts.)
Wishing everyone a blessed weekend!

Ramblings On A Busy Monday Morning
This past week I have been given new hope on the job front. There is a small ISD about 30 min from me that is hiring two positions in the elementary school. I feel a job is so close! On Thursday I sent out prayer requests for this job to all the people I KNOW will pray for me. Friday a sweet lady from the church called saying her daughter was a teacher in a town 20 min from the church and an aid position opened up. She said her daughter had already talked with the principal about me and he said to go to the school. Sunday she asked if I was bilingual. I am not so that throws me out of that. Also at church yesterday I heard of a couple more possibilities and made a few contacts with the ISD's. God is blessing in so many ways! I am so ready for this job! I am praying that God puts me in the place He wants me. Today I will be following up with my new found contacts, cleaning out my closets, and mopping the floors.

A Cold December Morning
Good morning world. It is a whapping 42 degrees and the weathermen are slightly predicting some snow flurries over the next two days. Its so unreal! This year seems so different.
Yesterday was a different kind of day. My day started with me paying bills and in the bill stack was an ATT bill. I recently switched from their cell service to another because their customer service is horrible and they do not respect their own policy. I have cut off my service but I got a bill for so many minutes used this month. It has been turned off since September. The lady and I had several rounds about this with her saying she just didn't understand why I am leaving ATT when she is YELLING at me. It was ridiculous!
I then had some business to take care of with my broker who ended up counseling a very upset version of me for over an hour. I just love her! She is a sweet Christian woman who truly has a heart of gold! She has been a blessing to me in so many ways!
I then had errands to run. The places I went were soooo unusually busy. After leaving Walmart some random woman called me five times on five different phone numbers saying this was her husband's phone number and why I was on it. Insane! When I was unloading the groceries in my car I notice a brown and white chihuahua dog. He (or she) was just wondering the sidewalk. Well the pretty dog wondered into my house! Then the dog took one look at me and ran out the door and down the sidewalk! I'm not sure how to take that haha! Like I said it was an interesting kind of day.
I am still praying and anticipating God to move and provide me with a new job. I am trusting Him to provide. I thank Him for the time of growth this has been.
On the agenda today:
Give Mr. Freddie a hair cut
Finish decorating for Christmas
Clean the house
Continue on the hunt
Have a great and blessed day......
