It may not look that sunny in this photo, because the sun was hiding behind a rather large cloud for a little while, but eventually the cloud moved aside while we spent the day at Bear Lake last Sunday. Here are my little bumpkins, Adair and Alec, all floaty on Mike’s float tube out in the water… we had a good time wrapping up the last little bit of summer before school starts NEXT WEEK.
My word…. I said that out loud… NEXT WEEK! I know, I know… I just said it again! To be exact, back to school night is on Wednesday evening, and then school starts promptly on Thursday morning. I cannot believe how quickly time flew…. it’s quite possible that the time itself got kidnapped by some magical force and completely and totally stolen away. I bet that’s exactly what happened! One minute it was there, and the next minute…. POOF…. GONE. It left no trail, no whereabouts as to it’s disappeance, it just simply vanished in the span of a second. I know I should have seen it coming, because I know that’s EXACTLY what happened last summer… but I guess I got dulled by all the Otterpops and late nights. We have to get back on a schedule again! Bedtime for the kids by 8:30pm. Breakfast first thing in the morning! Getting ready for school! Homework after school! ACK! Oh, and making lunch! *sigh* I’m getting dizzy.
I’m in a spot where it’s time to get a job… and it’s not just any job that I’m after… but a job that I love, and that I get paid for something that I’d do for free. I’m torn between getting a little more schooling, which will take me about 10 months full time for web design and coding, or… the possibilities do exist to find employment now, with my current set of skills. More schooling may mean more $, but it also means more sacrifice in this tight and struggling economy…. but, for possibly only 10 more months. I don’t have the money to pay for the schooling, so choosing that as an option would be working on faith that it will work out somehow… begging, borrowing, with my limit at not stealing. 
OR, seeking employment now. The good ol’ pro and con list about each is tabulating in my mind these days, while there are lots of dicussions with God as I do so…
Oh… and did I fail to mention that I actually applied for a job? Yep. I did, I did. When I saw it and read it’s description by happenstance (perhaps read as God’s divine appointment) it sounded as if it was written exactly for me. How odd. I applied and hope to get an interview… we’ll see what happens.
Being a mermaid is still in the back of my mind…..
