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

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy, sounds like yesterday was about as good as it gets! We had a great sermon last night too, must be something in the air?! I will definitely say a prayer for your husband and for you regarding his job. Keep up your good work, you are doing so well. Happy Sunday! And thanks for all of your support!

Glad you had a great day and are taking today easy. Wishing your DH the very best of luck at his job interview this week.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thank you Amy and Anna!

Today looks to be a very busy day so I probably won't be able to make it to journals..... Here's today's to do list:

* Workout

* Laundry

* Homeschool (money, scavenger hunt)

* Work for DH... probably about 2 hours worth

* eBay... I have 8 items up now... I hope to add several items later on today and tomorrow.

* Library

* We're going to see Cars this evening... $5/movie + free popcorn! Can't beat that!

* Need to make a trip to Goodwill

I just wanted to add.... Yesterday, I did a jog/sprint/walk and it felt good to push my body through that. My knee even held up too! I may add jogging + walking+ sprinting back into my exercise routine...

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support. My DH is getting ready for is interview this morning.... Hopefully, I'll have some good news to post later on today!

Have a great day everyone!

I'm back.... DH still isn't home yet... Hopefully, that's good news!

I managed to get my workout in. I did 35 minutes of cardio and heavy weights. Right now, I feel good. Tomorrow, I'll be sore.

Now, I am off to eBay... I've got so much to do this afternoon, but at least I have CARS to look forward to this evening....

Until later....

Hi Tracy-
How did you guys end up liking Cars? I saw it two times this weekend (one babysitting, one visiting with my buddy kim!) I thought it was cute!

Way to go on getting your workouts in! Im proud of you!

Hope you are having a GREAT night!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks everyone!

Cars was great! We really enjoyed this moving! It gets four thumbs up from our family! The credits were so funny!

Today looks to be a more relaxed day than yesterday. I only have 4 things on my to do list:

* Exercise (Walk+ jog)

* Homeschool (money+ nature hike)

* Laundry (finish)

* Go to the Library

That's it for today! My DH got called back for a second interview and he has that today at 10:30 a.m. Please send prayers, good thoughts, and !!

Wow, only 4 things on your to do list today! That is a very relaxed day for you - Enjoy!

Here's that DH's second interview goes well!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy, can't wait to hear how your hubby's interview went! I'll send some prayers after the fact, I hope it went great. I also love your lists, I should follow your good, organized example. Hope you had a great day!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Anna and Amy!

I do have some good news to report.... Yesterday, my DH had interview # 2 with ABC Company (not the real name ) and he thinks it went quite well. His potential boss is going out of town on Thursday so they told my DH that they would let him know today. Then, he goes to an interview at XYZ Company and they want to hire him on the spot! They told him he could start Monday! So, we are waiting to hear from ABC Company today to compare the offers......In the meantime, he will be working on real estate and Prepaid Legal to make some extra money.

So, what does this mean for our WDW trips? At this point, it's anyone's guess. He's thinking that the XYZ Company is a bit more lenient and that he could get the vacation time from them for September. He's not sure about December though. So, we will wait and see what happens today and then go from there.

Today's Plan:

* family walk/run

* help DH all day

* run some errands (library... notice how that's been on my to do list several days in a row? ; walgreens, post office, e.t.c)

That's all for today. Please keep your prayers, good thoughts, and coming!

 

[keenercam]

Tracy -- Congratulations to your wonderful DH on finally being recognized as the hard-working valuable employee he will be at either of those places. I really hope he has a difficult decision to make with 2 fabulous offers to consider today. Good luck and many prayers!

Have a wonderful day, sweetie! I LOVE that your to-do list looks like a good mix of fun and productivity! :

Way to go Tracy's DH!!!!!!

Isn't God good?? Not one offer, but TWO to choose from!!

Can't wait for the news on which gets the privilege of having him!!

Have a great day!!

 

[ScoJo15]

Tracy - Congratulations to your hubby!! From worrying about not landing a job to getting two offers is pretty awesome!! Good luck with choosing the best one and here's hoping you can still get that WDW vacation in!!

have a good day!

 

[AmyBeth68]

Tracy! I'm so glad to hear about your DH's work situation. That must have lifted a huge weight off you guys! Really really wonderful news! And I have to hand it to you...all along you always stay so positive. That is a true testament to your spirit .

Congrats on the job situation turnaround for DH. That is absolutely wonderful news for your family!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hello friends,

Thank you for stopping by with your kind words and encouragement. We are still waiting on offer #2, but DH has decided that he will make his decision today. I will update you as soon as I know more......

Today's Plan:

* THE FIRM (DONE!)

*

* Homeschool Parents Night @ 7:00 p.m.

* Little chores

* Errands

That's it.... Hopefully, I will be back later with an update and I'll be able to get to more journals then too. Have a great day!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Thanks for posting tracy...cant wait to see an update!

Have a great day and hope you get everything done that you need to get done!

Good evening friends....

My DH called this morning and left a message to let company XYZ know that he would take the job and could start Monday. They did not return his phone call.... Now, I am totally stressed out... Why aren't they calling? They wanted to hire him on the spot, but he wanted to take some time to think about it. Now, do they not want him? I've been alternating between crying and stress and yelling all day today. I thought things were starting to look up and now, I am not so sure. Company ABC never called him back so it looks like XYZ was his only option and so far.... no call back. I would really appreciate your prayers/ good thoughts/ . I'm hoping that we get a call tomorrow, but who knows....
