Digging in the dirt
Mar. 28th, 2009 07:21 pmThe weather was amazing today and although a lot of it was wasted running errands and cleaning inside, we did get to spend some time outside doing some yard work. Punk ran around the back yard while I raked and Jen used the leaf blower, and she climbed in leaf piles and had a general good time. Last summer I found a little plastic slide on the side of the road on the way home from a friend's place and it is getting good use right now, which is awesome because it was free! When things settle down I want to get some outside play equipment for Punk but for now she thinks that little free slide is the bee's knees.
The down side to the yard work is that after we came in, I was reading with Punk and pulled a little tick off my neck. GROSSSSSSSS. I wasn't expecting it at all because it is super early for ticks (hello, it's not even April!) and of course I am all paranoid now and will be on the lookout for bullseye rashes. Good times.
I also cleaned out the pantry to see what we have and it looks like we have quite a bit of canned tuna and some fun things like a vegetarian sloppy joe mix. Not the classiest food but we're set for a while. We also got some of those bags of frozen chicken breasts last week because they were buy one get one free. Sweet.
I didn't write much about it before because everything was all hush hush about the job, but ever since I gave my notice on the 17th, I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what God is trying to teach me with this experience. As a social worker, I have never been in a situation to take a job for the money and this was my first real taste of that. I knew it was a bad situation but I let the promise of a bigger salary and more time off lure me in, and I have learned my lesson. I didn't go into social work to get rich, so I guess I should start acting like it.
