started coaching yesterday. got a job for metro-the team I swam for a coached for my senior year. Brent basically handed me money. i'm so grateful for my teenage self. seriously. that's what got me this job. I take 1.5 hours out of my day (including driving) and get about $30 per day, 500 per month working 4 days a week. what a blessing.
the hard part is the kids. yesterday was day one. the little kids were at my parents and svend picked them up after work in oklahoma. he was not happy. granted, he had to drop his assistant off basically by our house and then drive BACK north to my parents--it was on his way home from durant. i'm a little annoyed about that…bc what else am i supposed to do with the kids? that's another pot of worms…
we had a talk about blessings last night. svend and i. i had asked him for a blessing before i accepted the job and he wouldn't give me one. seriously. very frustrated with him. last night i explained to him that that's not his choice. i shouldn't have to defend why i want a blessing and that i will go elsewhere…and then it gets my mind going that maybe he CAN'T give me a blessing…to which he responded that's not it. but lets be honest. I can't give myself a blessing. I can ask…but only he can give. I hope he realizes and changes in this. it is getting increasingly more and more frustrating for me. he is the priesthood leader in our home and he does such a good job at it, i just hope he can change his ideas on this one--that a blessing is only needed in times of dire circumstance.
brooklyn wore normal clothes to school today for picture day. i am thinking every day should be picture day!
Monday is tabitha's birthday. she wants a drum set. i wish baby girl!!! no room and no money for a legit one… hopefully we can still make her happy. i'm so glad she is in our family. every morning she seeks me out for a hug. love love love it!
day 3 of working out for real…after my triathlon. go me.
someone in the other ward offered to sew for free a temple dress for someone who couldn't afford there own. mine if from my wedding and when I got pregnant with brooklyn and couldn't go to the temple, my mom gave me her old muumuu. yep….adn that's what i've had. I asked this lady…and she said yes! I'm soooo excited to get a new dress that fits me (even if I did have to give her my incredibly big measurements :( ) I'm excited.
Blessings are all around us. I just wrote a blog post on my family blog about blessings of tithing-the above being one of them. also my job… I'm grateful I have been given the gift to recognize most blessings and also the gift to recognize when someone else notices blessings I didn't.
My goals for my children this year are to teach them to pray and that prayer works….which include blessings by their father… :)
