FINALLY!!!

Today is a good day!!

Over the past few weeks, our family has been facing some pretty significant changes, for us anyway.  Without boring you to death with all the details (and let me tell you there are a lot of details), Abby is changing schools, I started substitute teaching (1st job in many years), and several more to be mentioned later....  So, my stress level has been a little high, folks. 

Abby's 1st day at the new school is tomorrow and this is how my brain was working today...
 - How am I going to manage two 8 am drop-offs at two different schools
 - How am I going to mangage 2 pick-ups...thankfully they are NOT at the same time
 - Can I continue to work and deal with all the chaos
 - I'd love to get a house keeper...I really didn't think that...I just now thought that it would make my life easier!
 - What is Abby going to wear to school...all we have is uniforms for the old school
 - Praying that a slot opens for Sara at the new school

So...I check the internet during my lunch and realize I hadn't checked some blogs recently.  Low and behold, the family ahead of us on the waitlist got their referral.  I was so excited for them.  They have been waiting so long.  Then it dawned on me that we are unofficially #1!!!!!!

I came home and told Bob the good news and then unloaded on him all my anxieties.  Poor guy, he is such a patient listener!  He reassured me that he was going to be there to help, encouraged me to focus on this week and we would deal with the next when it came.  As he left for work, he kissed me and said, "Hey, we are #1.  Remember, it's a good day!"

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Phillipians 4:6-7
