Hey everybody...who reads this blog...
I hope this post is finding you all well! I really love hearing about all the exciting stuff that is going on around this country and around the world, just in our family! Technology rocks when it comes to sharing!
I have found being a new mommy to a puppy can be incredibly frustrating. She poops and pees everywhere (do they make diapers for dogs? just kidding). She keeps me up with her crying until midnight and wakes me up at 3am, 6am, and 8am. I am losing sleep! Actually, thankfully Skittles is getting so much better. She is pooping and peeing less...although I wish it would stop completely. And last night she did not cry or bark or whine or yelp and all the other noises dogs make, at night and she woke me up at a late 830am. YAY!
Skittles and I took our first trip to Washington Court House to see our friends, Tiffani, Matt, James Gabriel, and Poco. She traveled very well in the cage down there and was very good in the house, she even got along with Poco (he's a chihuahua). Unfortunately, even though Poco is fixed, he still likes to show he's dominant by humping Skittles (my poor 3month old baby puppy got violated several times). I felt bad because we chained him up at the end of the night to keep him off her. Skittles slept through the night without a peep (I wish she would do that at home, however, I think God shut her mouth so baby Gabey could sleep). Then the next day, on the ride home I let her stay in the seat next to meet, which ended up being my lap.
I am getting incredibly frustrated with my unemployment. I come close to cabin fever some weeks. I have a record long four days straight in my pajamas and I just want to get out and see the world again. I have roughly 5$ in my bank account and I still haven't gotten the courage to ask my parents for $43.66 for my bike insurance payment due in 3 days. It's sadly gotten to the point where I don't even care about nursing or helping people, I just want a job...which is the complete opposite reason I chose nursing school in the first place.
I have a poll for my 2-3 readers...should I go to Starbucks next week and beg for a job (I know the manager personally and he offered me a job provided I give him 5 months...looking really do-able at this point) or should I just keep waiting for a hospital to call me? I know that God knows what I need and that he will provide for all of them. However, my faith is starting to die a slow long and horrible death.
Please pray for my faith and my strength!
Love you and God Bless!
Hey Kari, I feel for you on the job search. Personally, I'd the Starbucks thing until the right hospital calls you. That way you can feel like you have a purpose, you'll need to shower and wear real clothes, and you can be a better mom to Skittle knowing that you can provide for her. :) Just my opinion. Remember the passage about God not wanting you to bury your talents, but to do something with them to gain a return. You'll still be helping people's health at Starbucks; their emotional and mental well-being! I love you, and I am definitely praying for you.
ReplyDeletehmm, starbucks sounds quite practical to me, and i think i remember you enjoying it(?) once upon a time. don't loose faith though, i know it's hard ( i don't look forward to this summer AT ALL, when it's my turn to find a job) but GOD'S timing is WONDERFUL, because He sees the BIG picture. oh, and He cares about you. if he cares about all those little sparrows, you know He cares SO MUCH MORE about the awesome Karis -ma-naris! ^_^ I LOVE YOU AND I'M PRAYING!
