Waiting

It's Wednesday and I have not had one call this week about job opportunities, and I am starting to get impatient. I don't think I would care so much if my bank balance wasn't so desperate.

I really love staying at home full time with Katie and being around in the afternoons to pick up Eric and do homework, baseball practices, cub scouts, PTA stuff, etc. I am beginning to wonder how I can ever be happy going back to work when I now know what I will be missing out on.

Unfortunately though, I can't live in my house for free and I have too much debt to pay off still. Something has to change, but I can't figure out my next step yet. Moving seems the most likely. :(

All I really know is that I wish I had found the church a few years earlier so I could have had the counsel of the prophets. It seems so logical now...live within your means...what a profoundly simple idea! Too bad I was corrupted by societies idea of a successful lifestyle and now have to struggle to free my family from the control of our debts.

OK, enough complaints. I am stressed but I am also more happy than I have been in my whole life. I realized last night at the RS birthday dinner how much I appreciate all the wonderful people in my life and how much having an eternal perspective really makes everything alright.

I've always thought life would be so much simpler if we didn't need money! You have a great perspective Sandy. As Pres. Hinckley always said, "Things will work out."
