Thera-Flu

Oy I feel like poopie; maybe I need a sha-poopie (did anyone catch that on American Inventor last night? Pretty funny stuff) Anywho, I started feeling not so good day before yesterday, and it hasn't gotten much better since. I did force myself to down a steamy cup of Thera-Flu (aka wretch in a cup!) Ugh that stuff is awful, but it always works. It's been an hour since that self-inflicted torture, so I do feel a leeetle better.

Since Jason's not home, I guess I just felt like getting on here and complaining to you all instead. My, how adult of me ;)

It's raining, but warm. Jonah has been asleep for 2 hours . . . I am hoping for a three-hour nap day since I suffered an hour long screaming tantrum at the Y today; I was ready to hand my precious squalling banshee to one of my co-workers and run fer da hills! Know what I mean?!?!

So at least I can enjoy the sounds of light rain and the tap-tap-tapping of the keys on the keyboard. Now I sound like an infomercial for one of those relaxation CD's that has recordings of different sounds like rain, waves, forest . . . my mom used to have a thunderstorm one when I was a kid; it was actually pretty cool.

So in case anyone was wondering what we've been up to as of late, here you go: I applied for a full time job as a teacher at a daycare here in town. My friend's kid goes there, and she's reliable and pretty fond of the place. I got an interview and submitted a killer resume and application. The interview went fab-u-lous. I was SURE I had it in the bag, and despite my efforts to contact the director, I never heard from her . . . says me three weeks later. Grrrr. I had to hear second-hand from my friend that she "loved me, but there wasn't a spot for Jonah." Cool, I get that, but not calling me?! Anyway, there are other oppurtunities, so I will keep seeking and letting God open and close doors. Also, I have applied to Tennessee State University for the teacher certification program. I just have to get my transcripts faxed over, and then I wait. Ya'll pray for me, as I am ONLY going to school if I am able to pay for it with grants, gifts, or scholarships. I know that if the Lord wants me in school, He'll get me there.

Jason has been temporarily transferred to a firm down the street from where he works now to do some "housekeeping". What this really means is that his company is about to lose the account due to some severly lacking managerial and customer service skills by the current management and staff. Sigh. He does not like this place. The people are not very friendly, the atmosphere is more negative . . . blah blah blah; he wishes he were back at the other firm. Jason's older brother Dino wrote in his blog about how resistant we (as in most people) are to change. Yep, change is hard. But we need to change constantly in order to adapt and survive. The only thing that stays the same is God. Yay God! As for Jason, there's an oppurtunity for him to possibly move on up in the company, but it might depend on his performance where he is right now. We have to be tested sometime; it's not fun, but we know that God is greater and He's got us in His hands.

Well, I hear little man a cryin'. See ya!
