This week started out pretty rough. I mean, I was stressed to the max. The situation with the new girls and their placement. I realized that that situation is out of my hands and after I attended the meeting Tuesday, I realized that I am a small fish in a big pond, so that contract will not be good for my company at this time. As we realized that this contract was not good for us, God gave us another opportunity. Yes! So we will be making a difference in a lot of children's lives.
What was the lesson this week. I don't know. I did the best that I could and was always honest with everyone from day one...so....it is what it is.... I will definitely be more knowledgeable next time. I know now what specific questions I need to ask. I know now who I really need to consult with and what I need to ask. I know now to move much, much slower. I know now to learn as much as I can about the organizations and programs that you deal with and the people that are in charge. I was mad at God for the way things turned out, but He is only protecting me and the company from a lot of heartache and disappointment. I hated the way things went, but a lesson...a valuable lesson was learned.
So, I was saying that a good opportunity opened up. I have my employees in place so my caseload is lighter. I will be able to find a little PRN or part-time job to save up for the baby. Isn't that good news. I want to stay off with him or her as long as possible so that means that I need to start saving about 3-4 months worth of "bills" money.
This week. I worked out three times. I didn't go today because I had a meeting and had to prepare for it. So when I woke up at 4:30am, I headed straight to my office and used my workout time to prepare for my meeting. I think that is okay. I haven't been so hard on myself for a while.
I need to get in contact with the SIM group. I have not attended a run in over a month. I have been so consumed with so many changes that I haven't met with the group or gotten any updates on what is going on. I'll find out.
I have a 5k Saturday, then I am going to attend the Family Picnic at the church. We may join this week. I am ready to. Fred has been ready since the first day he attended that church. I wasn't at the time. But it is funny how God shows you what you need and then after you think you don't need it, He still is so merciful that He gives you another opportunity to get what you need ....He did that when I met Fred. We met a year before we started dating. God reunited us after one meeting a year before. I guess God was just letting me know who my husband was going to be. And when we reunited, we have never missed a day of talking to each other in eleven years. I met my best friend and didn't realize it and God gave brought him around again...full circle.
About the Baby, we are doing great. I have been feeling 'funny' but no nausea this week. I feel pretty good. A little tired at the end of the day, but nothing major. I am so excited about my new sweetpea. I can't wait to meet him or her. Fred thinks that it is a girl. I don't know. I don't have a 'hunch" yet. Fred was right last time so he may have the inside track this time. I only have about 8 months to go.
What a good week :-)
