Toystoryduo’s Journal: Baby Steps are the Key... Celebrate Each Victory!

Tracy, It will all be good. Have faith and .

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Don and Anna.

Well....

We still haven't heard from this company yet. I don't understand why they can't call him back and say yes or no. They wanted to hire him on the spot. What changed since Wednesday? I am so tired of going through all this work stress. I've been bouncing back and forth between anger and tears for the past 24 hours. I really thought things were starting to look up.... Now, it's back to the drawing board.... again.

I probably won't be able to get to journals for a couple of days... Have a good weekend.

Hang in there, Tracy! I'm praying double time that you hear something today.

Try to relax, enjoy the girls and have a good day and weekend.

God is in control!!! (But sometimes it seems He has gone on vacation!!)

Tracy -- I know this might now help much, but keep your chin up, sweetie! It will all work out according to God's plan and in His time. I know how hard it is when your family's future is involved, but I hope your spirits will pick up today. Sending and a this morning.

Hello friends,

Thank you for your words of encouragement and support. WISHers are the BEST!

DH was able to get ahold of the HR person yesterday and she said that they have two more interviews to go, but my DH is still at the top of the list. Basically, my DH thinks that they are playing cat and mouse with him because he made them wait for an answer so now they are making him wait for an answer.. Does he really want to work for a company like that?

Anyhow, we are moving forward and faxing resumes out for him. He is still working on the real estate and Prepaid Legal while waiting for the right job to come in. In the meantime, I may start looking for a job. I'm so scared about re-entering the work force.. It's been almost 6 years! I would love to go back to teaching someday, but I can't do that until both girls are ready for school. My ideal job would be teaching at my old school and having both of my girls attend there. It is a private school though and right now, we can't afford the tuition.

Needless to say... DH and I have a lot to talk about this weekend. We need to decided about Disney as well. The whole family was supposed to go to WDW in December (renting a 6 bedroom house), but my SIL just found out she is pregnant and due in early January. So, my MIL is thinking about taking my niece and nephew during the free dining in September, but hse won't do that if we aren't going. I really wish those houses had sold and closed like they were supposed to.

In any event, I can't change what happened. I can just look forward to the next door of opportunity that God has for us and hope that it is a big one!

This weekend should be quiet (minus the job discussion )... DH is deejaying today, the girls and I will go to church and my MIL's. Tomorrow, we'll stop by my dad's for a bit and spend the rest of the day chilling. My girls got their daddy a coffee maker, coffee, and two ties they bought with their own money. They couldn't wait so they gave him his gifts already.

Have a great weekend!

Good evening,

Today has gone surprisingly well. DH and I had a great talk this morning about work and we have some plans in place for next week. Let's hope that they pan out.

Tomorrow, we are taking DH out to eat(his choice), letting the girls swim for a bit, and spending time with my dad. It looks to be a relaxing day.

Have a great evening!

P.S. I added a 30 minute walk yesterday and a 30 minute bike ride today!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad you got to talk & plan. You sound a bit more relaxed. That's GOOD!!!

Have a fun, relaxing day tomorrow!

I'm still praying about the job situation.

 

[CACruisin']

Glad you and DH got a chance to talk and plan. Here's that everything will fall into place. You have a wonderful attitude and that will do wonders.

Great job getting exercise in yesterday too!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hello WISH friends,

We have a very busy few days ahead of us as we begin work on our POA... better known as our Plan of Action. We had a small crimp thrown in those plans when our muffler on our van went yesterday. My DH has to finish installing the new muffler on the van and then we are all set to go. I probably won't be able to make it to journals for a day or two. Please continue sending prayers, good thoughts, and our way.... I appreciate you all very much!

Have a great week!

P.S. I love the quotes that you guys are putting in your journals.... As my DH and I are starting down a new path career wise (hopefully!), I thought this was rather appropriate..

" Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first." Frederick B. Wilcos

Hi Tracy,


I am so glad that your talk with DH went well and you have a POA!!!! Ton's of heading your way that everything will work out the way that it was meant to.

Keep your head up!!!

Happy Monday

 

[keenercam]

Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, Tracy!

 

[CACruisin']

Wishing you all the best on your new adventures, career wise. It will all work out, I'm sure.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks everyone!

Not much to report here...DH is applying for a couple more jobs today and following up on some leads. The waiting is so hard! He is a very laidback person and this affects me much more than it affects him. He is able to take it all in stride while I'm like.... I just wish that all of those house deals hadn't fallen through. He worked so hard to make them happen and then to have nothing happen was a huge slap in the face.

Anyhow... Today I will be finishing up the laundry and taking the girls for a walk/picnic. In the midst of getting back on track financially and work-wise, the girls have been feeling left out so we are going to try and do some fun things today.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[kimwim8]

Hi Tracy!! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've stopped by. You and your family are in my prayers that the job situation is resolved very soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by and keeping my mom in your thoughts. I really appreciate it!

Take care and have a great day with your girls!

 

[traceycooper]

Hope all goes well with DH's job

 

[AmyBeth68]

Hi Tracy!!! (((HUGS))) Keeping you in my thoughts . I just know that the job situation will work out...usually these things tend to work themself out and usually for the best. But I know how stressed you must be. I love your positive attitude!! And you seem to keep everything going! Hang in there!

 

[ScoJo15]

Tracy - I really admire how you guys are keeping your heads up!! I know it's tough to do in your situation. Everything seems to have a way of working out...sometimes it just takes more time that we want it to....keep your chin up and know that we're all here to support you!

Here's a quote for you...

J.C. Penney
I am grateful for all my problems. I became stronger and more able to meet those that were still to come.

Have a great day!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks for stopping by everyone! I really appreciate your encouragement and support!

Well... we are still waiting. I have come to the realization that I am not a good waiter... I mean a person who waits... I've never been a waiter or a waitress. In any event, this waiting has been very tough on me. I am trying to stay positive and I do have my moments where I am less than hopeful. We have been in this situation more times that I care to count in the past few years. I am ready for God's blessings to pour forth!

We have so much to do today that I can probably fill up a one page legal pad with all that needs to be done.... My DH and I need to sit down and get our to do list taken care of..

Scott... Thank you for that quote this morning! I used to work for JC Penneys in their catalog department. it's a small world, huh?

Have a great day!

 

[CACruisin']

Hi Tracy, hope your busy day went ok and that DH's job situation turns around soon. Take care!

 

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Tracy,
Thank you so much for stopping by my journal. You continue to be one of the sweetest people I've ever met!

I hope DH's job situ works out quickly. I hope you don't have too much more waiting to do. I'm not a waiter, either. But your faith continues to be solid as a rock and I know things will turn out for the best for you
