Seriously?! Ug. I was trying to think what caused this, because it's usually stress and I couldn't think of anything. My eye has twitched for over a month now (enough to drive you insane really), and now this. So I started thinking about what's coming up...
My son starts Club Soccer this year. Which means over $500 a season (which was due today), then $2000/yr after next year. Plus at the meeting tonight they were talking about 3 nights a week for practice, plus 1 night a week for his rec soccer team, with two games each weekend. My daughter starts gymnastics in September. Plus I wanted to get her in Girl Scouts. She also starts Kindergarten this year. My son starts 4th grade, but at a new school, and last year he almost failed his first 6 weeks because of focus issues...what will a new school bring?? With all of these extra/per month payments coming up, I've been looking for a part time job to no avail, no city jobs or school jobs available part time. My husband told me today he is going to start working 60 hrs/week at work for the overtime, plus the regular 10-15/wk with his dad, plus co-coaching soccer, and with his weird schedule, more than half the day sleeping...I feel like I'll never see him. Fixing our broken fence has taken us over 2 months, with letters from the HOA hounding us about it, and over $1000 put into it and it's still not complete. Buying school clothes/shoes/backpacks and such has already set us out almost $400 for the two kids...and we're not ready for school yet. Also, I've been helping do the bible study for some of the YL girls, but putting together these study guides is becoming increasingly difficult for me. MOPS starts soon, and I need to start thinking about how I'm going to fit in YL contact work (which I really want to get started doing.)
I guess in the back of my mind, I AM stressed. I seems stupid and petty, because all in all I feel happy, healthy and content otherwise, but it's starting to show, and it always starts on my face - complexion, stupid twitching eyelid and 3 stys!!!
BUT....This weekend, we are going away to our lake place for some R&R, not as much for me, as for my husband who honestly just looks beat down even after a full 'night's' rest.
The bible study for my girls is tomorrow night and I'm hoping I will feel renewed with how much I learn and how much the girls are growing from it.
Good news is, YL starts back September 8th. With my huband's new schedule it will be tricky, but we're going to make it work.
Ok, that's it for now...Oh and Bible verse for today...comes from this past week at church, which was awesome! It also is fitting because of the Olympics being now too.
Verse to Ponder: Phillipians 3:13-14 - "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
