Sick Day???

Woke up this morning not feeling up to par. Allergies abound due to the changes in season. We are starting to feel Fall in the air with some cool nights and everything is starting to die. Sneezing as I type. Called in sick and slept in till 11:30AM. Went to bed early for me also at 10:45PM. Thus the typing of this blog at 2:30AM because my sleep is now off.

Anyway, it ended up being a fairly productive day around the house. Got several boxes of books together and sent Hubby to a friend's house with them who is having a yard sale this weekend. Praying to get rid of the overabundance of books and curriculum in our house. Girls and Hubby went to the park and library with homeschooling friends. While they were gone, got to cooking and typing. In the end made four jars of applesauce and four and half jars of apple butter. Also sent out 13 job applications via e-mail. Then laid around the house watching the new fall shows on television and went to bed.

Unfortunately, I am back up after only a little more than three hours of sleep with the sneezes back again. Thank goodness for nose sprays as they help some during these changes in season.

Soooo let's talk about these job applications......Oldest is not thrilled that we will probably end up moving if any of these now 20 job applications come through. Hubby and I are trying to explain that the wonderful state of CA is just not so wonderful for us anymore and why. Oldest is not buying it as she does not want to leave her friends. It will be a challenge but hopefully a blessing in the end. I have applied to the following places: only two locally, two in New Mexico, one in Arizona, five in Washington, two in Hawaii, two in Indiana, two in Illinois, two in CA and two in CO. Already got a response from one in New Mexico that there is not an opening at this time but application is on file. Hubby is praying for the other one in New Mexico. Oldest is praying for the two locally. Both Oldest and Youngest are praying to not go to Hawaii as they do not want to leave behind our goats and chickens. The five in Washington are near Hubby's oldest brother. The two in Indiana are near one of my sisters. The two in Illinois are near Hubby's family farm. Soooo I am doing the footwork and it is truelly up to God where we will be led! Lots of prayers for guidance in what I am doing and where I should be applying for our next home and carreer. We are going to wait till mid-October then start another round of applications if needed. I have some more leads that will result in another seven applications. Then there is another round after that if needed that are for another 25 locations. That round is for a similiar field but won't be using my licensure so waiting and hoping that something will happen before then. But then again it is an option and maybe I will be led down that path by God also. I am just grateful that I have options and I truelly believe that God is my pathfinder and directional light!
