New Year. New Start. New Craziness

2017 ended with a crap and 2018 began with another one. 

Seriously in a months time I had enough bad luck to last a normal person a whole year!! 

Between my car breaking down- multiple times... my husband's car breaking down right after mine did- like same day yall... we went home to get it and yep... blown tire.  It was just one thing after another after another after another... the biggest one of all was I got laid off from my job. No reason. No warning. Nothing. Went into work, thought everything was going great... Like seriously the day before I was off for New Years I was told how great of a worker I was and how I was doing a great job... etc... and then came into  "you can't work here anymore". No other explanation.  

So... I looked, applied, interviewed and got hired last week for a new job!!! Its been a week and I am overwhelmed.. but loving it so far!  I am doing service scheduling for gas fireplaces and then also any other office help that is needed.  I am definitely enjoying it so far! 

I decided when I wasn't working that I would to try a couple real estate classes but I didn't realize that it was primarily an online class that its like 6 chapters a week. I didn't realize it was that much that quick and mostly online. After 1 week in, I have only been able to watch 2 videos for the class and complete 1 assignment for this class.. I am seriously feeling overwhelmed. I hate to do it, but I am seriously considering dropping that class.  

Between my accounting class... work (learning all new stuff)... my church job... 5 kids, a husband, 4 dogs, a cat, a bunny and a house that I have to take care of... I can't do it... I hate to admit it, but its too much. Especially this is my typical day as I try and do homework:


Its non stop... on top of mom... lets go crazy... especially if she is trying to do anything other than pay attention to anything but two babies.


I have to say that during this time, God has been with me. He helped me get this job with in 3.5 weeks of getting let go of my other job.  It's a great company to work for. He has blessed me with great family members that are there to help me and pick up the slack with the kids so that I can work a "real" full time job.  He has blessed me with so much and with out faith and His love and grace, I honestly don't know where I would be.  Many of the days were hard, I am not going to lie. I asked daily what I did to deserve all the bad things that was happening.  Without Him I would be nothing. 

Blessings N Love
