Busy Busy

It seems that the few minutes that I have to myself, never really are to myself.  I think back at times in the past when I never thought I would get through and I just laugh at all that my life requires now.  I am grateful for my job.  I sat through a meeting yesterday in which 126 lay offs were announced.  I am the last hire in my office so you can imagine my anxiety.  I am still employed and am not really sure how it happened.  There are more experienced workers out of jobs all across the state.  I thank my Father in Heaven for sparing me this time.  One of my supervisors commented today that I really dodged a bullet yesterday and not even the supervisors know how I ended up holding on.  See, I am still on my probation period and it would be easy to let me go.  Though  I had prepared myself for the worst, it was bitter- sweet to not lose my job.  I had pictured being home with my kids and that looked pretty good.  Then the reality of that situation sets in and  I realize that losing my income would not make my life any less stressful and for that reason, I am so very grateful for my ability to work.  Thank you to the people that fought for me and kept me employed.  It means everything to me right now.

I am also happy to report that I have moved into the arena of t-ball and soccer coach.  I can handle the t-ball, but soccer?  Really?   I don't know  a thing about soccer, but the coach blew out his knee and I am the replacement.  Pray for the 6 year olds looking to me for direction.  I better get researching, first practice is tomorrow.  Wish me luck--
