M-I-Z

oh my gosh.... this football game is a nail biter. Well, that and my overly dramatic mom sitting next to me is making me turn to my nails to relieve the nerves.

Hope you all are enjoying the game too..... Z-O-U

It Is Finished

Today I called my boss and told him that Wednesday would be my last day with the kids. I will move out my stuff Thursday and Friday. I am sad but it is necessary. It seems clear to me that God is calling me to the next thing. I hate that I had to break my word with them, but I knew I could not do it any longer.

Week Off

Well friends it's time for an update. I went to the director of HR yesterday and ended up talking with the director/founder of His House. I was telling them that my heart was dry. That it wasn't like me to walk around with bitterness and frustration in my heart. That it was not serving the Lord or the kids. I essentially said that I wasn't sure I could make it to the end of November, I wasn't even sure I could make it another week. My soul is worth more than that. So she told me to pack my stuff and plan to be gone for a week, to pray, and get with people who feed my soul. She wants me to make sure that God is calling me to the next thing.
So what's the firs thing I do??? I get sick. I've basically been laying down all day today. It's kind of miserable...but I guess this is God's way of getting me to rest. I would appreciate your prayers. I have an "interview" Tuesday and am hoping that in that I get some more direction from God.

Birthday bash

Mer mentioned having a joint birthday party when Julianna is in town. Jules, remind me when that is. What should we do to celebrate? I kind of think we should freak ourselves out and go visit The Tree.

my fav by far

Something New

Liver and Onions. I've unfortunately eaten it twice in the past week. Once, made by my mom, and once made by Matt's grandma when she was down here visiting.

Let me tell you...it's disgusting, but I'm forcing myself to get it down. Currently, I have super low hemoglobin levels. As in, they are in the critical range. My hemoglobin levels are 6. Most people's are at least 15. If they drop below 7, most doctors want to do a transfusion. My doctor wanted to give me a blood transfusion...but I refused. Who wants a stranger's blood surging through your veins? Not me. Not to mention all of the diseases I could get, it just didn't sound like a very fun process. I figured since I was just one point below critical stage, that I could take care of this on my own. So....I am taking prescription iron supplements three times a day, and eating foods high in iron. Oh, and I've cooked a few things in an iron skillet. Apparently cooking in an iron skillet helps some of the iron go into your food? Who knew?? I didn't know until Wheel of Fortune was on in the background 2 days ago and they were talking about it! lol.

This is proving to be difficult! I don't know what is high in iron besides spinach. I've been eating a lot of spinach salads, which are pretty delish. But, what else has high iron? I need some other options here. I know red meats do too...maybe I'll eat a steak tonight. Anybody know what else is high in iron? I need suggestions!! I have 6 weeks to get it out of critical range...so here is to hoping I'm successful!

What to do...

I need to find a job. I have tried my hand at so many different kinds of jobs, I don't know what I want to pursue here. I could do nannying, office work, serving/host, medical office, retail, and the list goes on. I might settle on starbucks though. Starbucks are everywhere and if i can just get my foot in the door I could transfer with every move we make. What do you think? I want to be around people and in a good enviroment. I love coffee and drink it about once a day. This starbucks location is beautiful and in the heart of downtown breckenridge. I've asked and they will be hiring for winter work. I just want to find something and not have to stress about it.

p.s. I have tried to upload a picture of the view but its not working. Suz, i think you mentioned your video upload wouldn't work either. Do we know how to fix this or whats going on?
