New plan!  One of my friends referred me for a job.  I shadowed her for a couple of days and really liked the job and the people.  I am going to be a per diem employee, and hopefully something permanent will open up in the future.  I think it is a great way for me to get back in the swing of working.  I have decided that I will postpone school for now.  I want to see how this job pans out first.  Spending all of that money makes no sense if I can get a good job without it.  I'm feeling so excited right now.  I can't wait to start my job!!

This week has been rough.  Making money is not easy when you have been out of the workforce for over 12 years.  I have experienced some of the oddest things financially too.  Plus my poor puppy has a broken leg.  Sunday night I could barely sleep.  My anxiety over money kept me up most of the night, and then I woke up with a headache from clenching my jaw.  My anxiety has subsided and I'm trying to find some creative ways to get money.  I have things to sell and I'm trying to think of other things.  My friend works for hospice and they are in need of a per diem worker who is on call.  She put in a good word for me and now I am going in to shadow her on August 8th.  This could work into something else.  Super excited

I registered for college this last week.  I am so excited, yet nervous at the same time.  I am going to get my degree in Accounting, which I love.  At the same time,  I've been having some challenges.  Let me say this, divorce is not for the faint of heart and coming to a settlement is extremely difficult. It's time to put on my big girl panties and get stuff done!!  I must say, I've learned that I am much stronger than I ever thought.  Some of the things I've been through over the past 3 years have been challenging, but I've come through it so far!!  I know that God won't give us more than we can handle, but he must think very highly of me, lol!  That's all for now.  Gotta beat the heat, it's supposed to be over 100 today.

I'm feeling extremely blessed today.  Despite that fact that I have had a lot going on lately, I feel so peaceful.  I have many pieces to the puzzle of my life to put in place, but several of them are already there.  My relationship with my son has improved so much in the past couple of weeks.  What a blessing!!  My puppy has a broken leg and has been confined to a pen, her leg is healing so well that I am able to let her out of puppy prison.  Also, I think I found an online school that has an amazing BA program that I'm interested in.

After over 11 years out of the regular workforce, I am searching for a job.  I worked as an aide for our school district for the past 11 years, so if you need help with algebra, I'm your girl.  Unfortunately, my marketable skills are not great.  I am going to have to go to back to schoolto hone my rusty skills. I'm excited that I finally made a decision on the direction I will go, and I feel completely at peace.
