Pulling an "Alan"
+ Alan's buddy iconSo, here lately I have been doing what I will call "pulling an Alan". I am not sure what he might think of that though - hee hee.

I have been rolling stuff around and around and around in my head. Trying to figure it all out on my own and trying to make things happen on my own. Letting the fears get bigger and bigger, and yet not really caring either. I am sure if you are on my site you know our situation. If not here is a brief synopsis: Alan lost his job, I started working full time, he is working on getting freelance business going, and I am on my feet 10-12 hours a shift and I am damn tired and my body is crying out - a lot! Then we found out they are closing the restaurant I work at. Next Monday is the last day. I DO NOT have a job yet. So, I am freaking out.

I do have A prospect. And it is in what I don't want to do - Food Service. You work way to much for way too little - in the management aspect of it. Seriously, if the option was still there to continue what I am presently doing I would make more than going into management. I would end up crippled, but I would make more money. At least I have one prospect - I have to keep thinking that way or I get a bit worked up. Well I see saw on it. I know God can and will take care of us, but I sure wish he would hurry up. I know all the cliches about God's timing and our timing and Him knowing best and what not, but that doesn't help a lot right now.

It would also be nice if everyone you apply to did what EKU did and at least sends you an email to let you know they filled the position. I had applied for a position there and I didn't get it - duh. I have applied to at least 10 jobs and been to 2 interviews. One was a pretense and the other I was just wasting time and one coming up tomorrow. But nothing from any of the others - nothing. I just don't get that part. I know things take time, but 3 weeks? Sorry, I try to stay up beat but right now, I just don't have much left. If any one knows me I smile all the time, and for the past 2 months and especially in the last 3 weeks I don't have many to pass out to others. I know things will change, I just wish God would pass out the sylabus before He starts teaching the lesson - Oh well.

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
