I got the job!!
I went for an interview at the neurosurgeon's office today at 1:30 and they offered me the job on the spot. Not only can I pretty much work when I want the pay is $1-2 more an hour than we thought! Praise God!! They are pretty behind because I guess they haven't had anyone doing the transcription so I'm going to work a few days a week for a while until it's caught up and I get used to the way they do things then they said I could work Monday/Thursday 8-12 or 9-1 or Tuesday/Friday, whatever works. How great is that!!?? I start on Monday. I can still clean the one house I do for a while too.
100 pieces of helpful information to know about me!
OK. My friends are doing 100 things about them lists so I have to join in too just for fun.
1. I love chocolate. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, chocolate on chocolate...you get the idea.
2. I love to clean. I clean my house every day. I love Clorox wipes and my swiffer vac!
3. Sometimes especially when it's pretty outside I love to climb in the car and just drive and listen to music really loud and sing! Although with the price of gas that's getting harder to be able to do.
4. I'm anal. There is a place for everything in my house. If you move a picture an inch to the left I will notice it!!
5. As clean as I love to keep my house my car is just the opposite. It's absolutely embarrasing for people to see how dirty it is but with the girls and we spend so much time in it and eat in it I just give up keeping it clean!
6. I love 80's movies.
7. I love my church. Living Hope Community Church. It is truly our 2nd home. I love all the people. They are truly our family. I love our pastor and his wife Stacey to the core of my being.
8. In an effort to not say cuss words I say silly things like flip flop, son of a biscuit eater, holy smokes, shnikes.
9. I think my girls are the 2 most beautiful beings in the world!
10. I love to make cards for birthdays, anniversaries, pretty much anything.
11. I love warm weather and absolutely despise cold weather.
12. I was the youngest child of 4. My brothers and sisters were 13, 14, and 15 when I came along. I was a little spoiled. I grew up with my neices and nephews as we were only 4-5 years younger than me.
13. I thought my neice Stephanie was my sister until grade school. My sister had her young and she lived with us off and on for the first few years of her life.
14. When I get really mad I cry.
15. I've struggled with depression part of my life. Some people don't feel this is a true illness but they are the ones who have never been there.
16. I could eat Mexican every day of the week.
17. I love hot baths. I take one almost every night while I read.
18. I love to read.
19. I love CSI and the reality CSI shows on A&E, cold case files and the court TV channel.
20. I like crafts and making things for people.
21. I don't enjoy shopping unless I have money to spend.
22. Dr Pepper is my favorite drink....especially with cherry and vanilla!
23. I love pictures. I carry a camera with me everywhere. My walls are covered with pictures of my kids and family. I'd like to have a real nice camera to take pictures with someday.
24. Jamie and I met through friends. He played softball with my friend's boyfriend and I would go to the games with her. He actually payed no attention to me and I didn't know he was interested. We started talking one night in March and moved in together in June, got engaged in October, pregnant in November, married in February and a baby in July! (All pre christian days!)
25. I didn't become a christian until 2002. We were having marital problems and went to Aaron for counseling and started going to church and fell in love with it.
26. I don't care for people who are always negative or always say things to put you down, especially in the church. There is a difference between speaking your mind and just being plain rude!
27. I'm a homebody. I love staying home and doing stuff around the house.
28. I love scary movies even though I'm a huge chicken!
29. The best friends I made in 7th grade are still my best friends to this day and we keep in touch and get together when we can!

Ask and you shall receive!
Well I wanted something just a couple of days a week and Thursday I get a call from a company that does hiring for medical offices. It's transcription for a neurologic office Tuesdays and Fridays 8-12! I went Friday for an interview and the doctor called me yesterday and I have another interview today at 1:30...praise God! I will still do my other transcription at home and I clean a house once a week. My friend Perri told me about a lady who does cooking for people. She goes to their home and prepares meals for them for up to a week and they store them in their fridge or freezer and just follow the heating directions. She gave me the name and number of a lady who does this and I'm going to get with her and see if she needs help or can let me follow her to see how she does things. The pregnancy resource center and food pantry open May 10th!!! I am so excited to about both but especially the PRC. I can't wait to talk to these young ladies and hopefully make an impact in their lives!

Great Friends
Some of you may have noticed I deleted my Confusion and Frustration blog!! I had several of my dearest friends worried about our financial situation, which I appreciate so much but I didn't want it to sound like I was complaining about our finances. We are getting by and God provides our needs...Amen! My main "complaint" was the struggle I was having with my hubby and his attitude towards my wanting to volunteer at the food pantry and PRC. He thought I should get a job or be working rather than driving to volunteer and spending the gas money on the drive and having someone watch the girls while I did it. We have had several talks and I'm trying to explain to him that this is a mission calling for me and the PRC nor pantry is open all day and when I do volunteer the girls will be with me. I am cleaning a house and doing my transcription as well as being a stay at home mom. I appreciate all of my friends I have and I love you all dearly. I know God will continue to provide our needs and I can still be at home and do my work on the sides to provide a supplemental income for our family. I also got a call last week for another transcription job in house for a neurologist two days a week.....praise God!! Just pray that I get that too. Again, thanks for all your support, prayer and concern!!! I Love You!

Continued Blessings
I love working from home but financially we are stressed. I got another house to clean on Wednesdays in Newburgh making very good money. I've had 2 old friends contact me out of the blue in the last week wanting to know if I want to work with them part time or as needed. How awesome is that! I'm going today to talk to one of the doctors and see exactly what they need. I still fill in at the family practice office. I don't want to go back to work full time because I want to be here with the girls and we are still thinking about another baby in the next couple of years. I also want to volunteer at the food pantry and the pregnancy resource center that our church is starting. We open in April. I'm taking classes to help teach me how to counsel the women who will be coming into the clinic. Hopefully I can use my background in OB/GYN to help too. I want to use the mission opportunities to minister to people and help others out. I know God will continue to move and give us what we need in life.

I Am Blessed!!!
I am so blessed! I have a Father who loves me unconditionally. I have a husband who loves me and works hard to support my family. I have two beautiful, healthy little girls who are going to be God fearing women. I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food to eat, a wonderful church family and friends that will do anything for me. Some days I get frustrated and overwhelmed with life and keeping up with my work at home and cleaning and the girls and I have to stop and think.....I am so lucky!!! I get to be here with my girls and see their milestones. I get to work from home and provide an income. I work my own hours when I want to. I have a church I can go to for prayer and fellowship that I love and most important I am a child of Jesus Christ...Redeemer, Deliverer, Lamb of God.
May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love our salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!" Psalm 70:4
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Psalm 100:1-2
