USA! USA! USA!
We have Olympic Fever in our home right now,
as is evident in our activities this week...
**********************************
But before I get into all of that,
I wanted to give an update on the
I had last week.
I found out this morning
that I did NOT get the job.
But it is OK.
I am kinda glad
(and a tad disappointed)
about the finality of the decision.
I am glad to continue to do our homeschooling
the way in which I believe
fits our family best.
HOWEVER,
I REALLY need another kiddos to watch
in our home to help us out
financially.
I KNOW that God is in control,
and will provide-
I am praying for the patience I need
to wait on His timing... :0)
**********************************
So,
what DID we do this week?
Well,
I can't really give a play-by-play
because for some reason the week
is a bit of a fog to me.
I can list the "highlights" from the week:
*Started filling in our
*Went grocery shopping at Aldi
*Watched some sweet kiddos
for a friend

Linking up to the following:
I'm sorry your teaching position didn't work out. I know you're disappointed, and I will pray that you find a source of some extra income. Have you ever thought about using your blog to make a little extra money?
ReplyDeleteWe are studying the Olympics, too -- starting back to "school" on Monday. :-)
Thanks for linking!
That sounds like a very busy week, y'all. I am thinking that He knows best about what you and your family needs. I will keep praying for that to come to fruition.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Aldi? I pray that your situation with extra work works itself out. I've been there!
ReplyDeleteSend me a private email if your interested in knowing what I did for extra income.
You may not have gotten the job - but in a world where there is such a thing as National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, who could ever be sad :)
ReplyDeleteLove your photo collage! We're enjoying the Olympics here too:)
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss National Hot Fudge Sundae Day?! I wonder if it's too late to celebrate;)
Amber,
ReplyDeleteHey, how are you guys?
My best friend's dog, Blue, (her picture is here http://homeschooljournal-bergblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/this-moment-kismo-blue-edition-and.html ) has an enlarged liver. We don't know if it is a tumor or a liver malfunction. Her vet has referred her to University of Tennessee-Knoxville Veternariary School-Hospital for a biopsy. Do you know anything about this place and do you know of any good hotels or places to stay around it since we are going to have to stay at least over-night, if not a few days?
Thank you so much for any help you can give us.
