New Job

Remember when I said that I was hoping things would work out and that I could quite my hospital job? Well...it worked out!!!

I have said I want a piece of paper to drop from heaven to tell me what will happen with some parts of my life. I went to a work meeting with the hospital and my manager handed me a paper saying they were going from 24 hours a month to 60 hours a month. That paper was my paper from heaven...telling me that I can quit this job and that things would work out with my insulin job. In order for me to accomplish 60 hours I would have to work five 12 hour shifts and in order for me to work 12 hours, I would have to go back to nights (which I had no intention of doing) or work all weekend shifts. It was hard enough getting Saturday shifts so I would have to do quite a few Sundays. That would mean Jarel couldn't full fill his calling and my family wouldn't make it to church. I wasn't willing to do that. It was a leap of faith for me and Jarel to quit this job not knowing if I would get an insulin kid this year...and where would money come from. We would be super tight on Jarel's salary. But, we both agreed that 60 hours wasn't right for the family and that I needed to quit. I felt good about the decision and knew all would work out...how, I didn't know, but I just knew things would be okay.

I geared up to work my last shift (and it was a 12 hour shift from 11 am to 11 pm), but ended up getting canceled! So, I ended my time with IHC at home!! 

As I said goodbye to maternity (which I have done for 11+ years), I actually was excited to be done. My thoughts were to be home more for my kids and also to be able to go to their soccer games and other activities with them. I was blessed to have a great job for all these years and it has worked for our family, but it is time to move on.

Anyway, as the days went by and I still didn't have an insulin kid and I was getting a little nervous but then decided that at least I have a job, and sub a couple of times for a friend, and we will just be tight for a year, but all works out in the end.

On Friday, I got a call from the lead nurse over the insulin and she asked if I would be interested in a little girl! I was thrilled! And she is on the same track as my kids so I don't have to work when they are off track. I go every day around lunch time to give her an insulin shot. I met with her today and the lead nurse and went over her orders and what her mom wants me to do. It was so fun and I really am going to like this job! I can bring my kids with me, don't have to work holidays or weekends and it is really fast. 

A huge blessing for our family. We are truly blessed and Heavenly Father always is aware of our needs and our situation. I am grateful and humbled and so excited to start this new adventure!
