The Perfect Job?

Hello all,
Ok, so I am posting a request from everyone who reads this. In the fall this year of 2008 when the new school year arrives all 4 of my children will be in school!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!! I never thought we would get to this point but now its going to happen and my baby is going to be 5 in May. Sooooo Now the question is what kind of job can I get that works with the kids schedules for the school being that Chris is as of right now slotted to go back to Iraq in September and it could be a 6 month tour this time instead of 4 months which I am so praying first off that he doesn't have to go but if he does that it is a 4 month time frame instead of 6. So my friend who works for the Northside School District here in San Antonio called me today and said that a job is opening at Luna Middles School. This is the middle School Sami will be attending in the fall and right next door is Ott Elementary School were Ethan, Hannah and Elijah will be attending in the fall. It means that if I get this job with the school district I will be working and have the same school breaks that the kids will etc..... So please, Please pray for me that I get this job. Its a Clerical/Administrarive job in the Special Education Department. I would be making $87.61 a day and I would only work 183 of the year! Work when kids are in school, and not work when they are on breaks and summer vacation. You can't get more perfect then that. Plus with my Fibromyalgia and severe pain and cronic fatique issues this would be ideal because I am not on my feet all day nor am I moving and lifting patients like at the hospital or a home health agency. So I am pretty excited and really praying that God puts me in this position. The extra income alone will be a God send. Boy can we sure use that bump in pay. We would diffently be able to do more things and have breathing room finicially. Chris gets back from New Jersey Saturday March 1st. I am so ready for him to come home yet its only been a week. However, whenever he leaves it doesn't matter the length of time he is gone, what can go wrong goes wrong. I swear I am cursed or something. Plus of all weeks for him to be gone he was gone the first week of soccer practices for all 4 kids. So I have been running with my head cut off to get them all to thier practices etc..... and getting all them home late in the evenings which makes for late dinners and getting everyone's homework done and all signatures need complete and lunch's made and bath's taken and getting them all in bed by 9pm! Its a work in progress and I am getting there. My ankles by the end of the days look like melons from the swelling from being on my feet all day and my legs and knees and hips are killing me but I am getting it done. Getting up in the morning with the kids isn't so hard because I have been doing that anyway while Chris is getting ready for work I get the kids going and get breakfast made and get them out the door on time. Well now that I am taking them also and picking them up I can't wait for them to go to school closer to home and be able to ride a bus beings the bus stop is right in front of my house! I am not one to go out of my house looking horrible with my hair in a scruntchy piled on top of my head and throwing on sweats and a hoodie. However, I have come to the conclusion that I could careless what people think so Yes, I have been going out in public with no makeup on and hair on top of my head and sweat pants and hoodies. Crazy I know but I do come home and nap with Elijah and shower and get done up to go pick the kids up because I have to actually go in the building to sign them out of the Youth Center. See I can't go in there looking that bad yet! Wait for Chris to be gone longer and I might give in there too! Ok, keep me in prayer please and also Chris in prayer for safe return home and also keep him in prayer because he tests for Master on March 7th! Its his first time testing so I am sure its nerve wracking for him. I know testing is always nerve wracking but man could we use the bump in pay if he makes it. Have a great Leap Day Week!
