Have I really not blogged since Monday?????? Crazy. Sorry :)
Tuesday I spent the day at the pool with a friend from church. Her mother in law has a pool... it was way out in Shelby. It was a really nice drive.... lots of trees and big houses on land. While I was there I received a message from my old boss. She wants me to come back to work. I decided that I wouldn't return her phone call until after I could talk to Matt and God. But on my way home she called again! This time I answered. I was right... she asked me to come back to work. I told her that I really didn't need to work a full time job right now and IF I were going to then it was going to be well worth it$$$ I asked her to make me an offer and I'd think it over but instead she turned it around and said... why don't you talk it over with Matt and tell me what it will take for you to come back to work. She wanted me to call her the next day! I talked to Matt and we came up with an amount. I really had a peace about the idea of working. We decided that I would work for a year and pay off our debt in 6 months. We had a plan! We were going to wait a year before trying for another child and save up until then. We wrote out a very specific budget. We prayed about it and asked that the Lord would close and open doors. So Wednesday I called her and told her the amount. She very quickly said she couldn't afford that. I said well okay...thanks for thinking of me. and that was the end. But I'm very much okay with how it turned out... ya never know... she may call me back in a few days and say she can afford me... or she may not. Before when I worked for her she took advantage of me. I'm thinking that she either thought that 1. I'm desperate and need to work. or 2. That when she said she couldn't afford me than I would jump and say well what can you afford... but i didn't. Yeah we need some extra income but that doesn't mean I have to work a full time job. I have filled out (2nd one b/c they lost the first one) an application at the daycare to work as a sub. I need to get by there and turn it in. But I'm enjoying being home with Jessica during the summer so I might try and wait till school starts back.

Seems like you and Matt are handling this the right way, Nic. Prayer and planning!
