Job update!

I have been working for SmartMed since 11-24. It has been tough! I really thought I was prepared but learning a new system is a lot harder than I thought. I chose to work after everyone goes to bed. It seems that I end up working until 5am everynight. So that leaves me with 1 1/2 hours before Michael has to get up and going. Most days I get to sleep while Christian is at school. So far so good. I did have a nap tonight but man I could have slept all night. I am learning tons though. I have a wonderful mentor that is straight to the point and really knowledgable. I am just sooooo grateful that I have the opportunity to work from home. I am so glad that I can choose to sacrifice and my sacrifice doesn't include everyone else. Although Cory might feel like it does. He says he can't sleep all alone but I think he is just worring. Today the Spectrum laid off another 12 people. Where Cory works up in the Cedar office I think he is pretty safe but they were still on pins and needles. All the lay offs were suppose to be known by 5 today but they had only heard of 8. So who knows we could still be SOL tomorrow. I am so glad I am not in charge. There have been so many things in our life this year that has proven that to me. It has been such a blessing Cory getting transferred to Cedar but you should have heard me when we found out! I was ready to chop someones head off. He would have never came across the opportunity to go to school and rejoin the Guard with ROTC. I know whatever is thrown our way is for us to grow and for our own good. That makes the rough times a little easier to swallow. I do have to say, everything is easier if you find something to be grateful for. I have so many things to be grateful for. I have the best husband in the world (sometimes). He is sacrificing so much by working his butt off by going to ROTC and doing school plus having a full time job. He is such and inspiration to me. I appreciate the kind of father he is to our kids. He is all three of theirs best friend. He cares about their likes and really knows them. Most of the time better than myself. He spends time with all of them and that is so priceless. Since I have started working he has really stepped up to help me. He has been doing housework, dinner and other house hold things so I can get stuff done. I am so appreciative. Of course I am so grateful for my children. They are everything to me. They are who I am. Everything I do I do it for them. I hope they feel like that when we are late in the morning and I am yelling loud enough for all the neighbors to hear. I am truely blessed. I could go on and on. I have a hard time being sad when I find so much wonderful things to be grateful for!
