Random act's of kindness and then the other shoe falls!

In times of darkness I need to think of the good things that come my way so I don't go totally crazy. I had this light and fluffy post ready to go up about these amazing friends and people in my life and how these random acts of kindness of made me smile and thank God I have them!

So I start with the special and the amazing stuff before I start with the other shoe that dropped and rocked my world today!

Last week I received two amazing thought gifts! First was when I posted the giveaway for the $25 GC and the box tops I was saving for Cole's school. My post automatically post to my facebook account where a dear friend from High School who I have not seen in 8 years!!! You contact me and guess what, she had 150 box tops to give to me!!! I know isn't that so cool! She even lives very close and said she'd drop them off. Isn't that the best, and on her way here she stopped by a friends and picked out even more!!!

Then the next day I open up my mail to find a special envelope from my poser friend Amy sent me the best coupons and get this 2 recipes!!! She is not a pork eater (I know she's silly) and as you know pork I cook a lot here!

Thank you Ladies I love you!!

A while back my boss asked me if I needed any days off this summer, currently working 6 days a week and she was so kind to think about needing a Saturday off. The only dates I could think of where the boys birthday party days! I told her the dates and that I was planning on having Cole's Party at the Children's Museum again. Today she asked me about it to make sure she had the date right, I let her know that I believe so I was just waiting on scheduling Cole's because you have to pay it in advance. So guess what this sweet woman did! Yes you guessed it she gave me the gift of taking care of the party. I can't tell you enough what an angel my bosses are. They are the most amazing people I have ever met and I am truly blessed to be able to work with them! She just knows how to make me cry, the other day she had me in tears again about how she would trust me with her kids. She's so like me and we don't trust many with our kids, and I can't tell you enough how much that meant to me! I'm a gushing mess today, this was just the most amazing gift I could receive and just that kind words that are always said to me.

Then when I think I'm just over joyed with not having to worry about paying for Cole's party the shoe drops on my world. Sometimes I think God gives you a bright light before the bad comes so you can remember that you are blessed and take each step one moment at a time. It just wouldn't be my life if everything went smooth. I've always had the worst timing if one part of my life is going well something has to happen, the dryer dies, then the washer, the roof will leak, Cole will get in trouble at school etc ... always the way it goes. The saying take the good with the bad is truth in my world. So after this amazing news from my boss, Rick get's a text from his boss? Which is really weird asking him to come in 1 1/2 hours early. He had a bad feeling, we're wracking our brains, he's had the top #'s since he's started. But in the grand skeem of things his job let him go :(. It was a complete sock it came for the higher ups and his boss was in tears telling him the news. So here we are barely making with our two salaries and now we're down to mine! My amazing boss swooped in again and offered me more hours, which is great but that now puts me at 7 days a week! For a temporary fix it will work out perfect just not long term, I told Rick this and he's like why would it be bad? UGH dude I'm already working 6 days a week, taking care of kids, bills, the house and everything else!!! Some days I think I may loose my mind!

Please say a prayer for Rick and finding a new job quickly! Thankfully his 2nd job is giving him hours but of course it's half the pay but it's money coming in! I had him get right on the internet looking for jobs. He's just so frustrating, I love him but he always seems that something happens and it's not his fault. This time it may just that but here we go again finding him a new job. I really would love for him to find that place that he stays at until he's done. Me I'm a stick to a place until I die or you kick me out :).

I know God will bring something better for us and it will all work out. I have faith I'm just a nervous Nelly about how long it may take until he gets a job. Lord give me strength I need it now!
