The World is my Oyster or at Least a Clam
Melissa and I were discussing the other day how awesome it is to have husbands who love to take care of thier wives.
I feel stuck in my job, I would feel horribly guilty if I did not work at all. Even though Jeremy before I took my full time job told me, if I never wanted to work again it was fine with him, how amazing is he. But somehow in the back of my head I am convinced that he would be hurt and offended if I did not work. (how silly is that) It just does not seem completely unreasonable to me that he would feel this way becuase he loathes his new job at the moment and part of me just wants to work extra hard so that he can just not work, but the other part starts to feel the weight of having to provide for us and my stomache starts hurting and I get all depressed and I feel like everything is backwards.
Anywho so Melissa say's something yesterday that makes SO MUCH SENSE to me. "Meg I feel like my husband has given me the freedom to find a job that I would really enjoy no matter what the pay, 'cause even if it paide me 5 dollars an hour (which it won't) I am still contributing to our finances, but I am enjoying my day, and a better wife for it. I can explore my intrests like working with kids, and baking." Wow I have never thought of contributing to our finances like that, I just thought try to get the most money you can, and don't worry if you don't exactly enjoy your day. Well I don't really enjoy my day at all. And I want to, but so does Jeremy. I realize guilt is not from God so how do I walk in faith, serve my husband and be a blessing to him, while not hating my job.
First off I don't know what I would really want to do... waitressing is fun and there is always the potential for tips but I would have to get a job where they were okay with me not wanting to work weekends. I could do retail, it does not pay too much but I get to work with people, and the northgate mall is just down the road from me. I could work at an icecream shop, but I would prolly grow rather large rather fast. (scratch that last idea) Being a coffee girl is STRESSFUL. I hated nannying. I could work in a movie theatre but they would most likely want weekends. Oh man I would love to teach something drama, singing, something to any age. I don't have a teaching certificate though nor do I want one because it means I would have to go to school for a LONG TIME. (no thank you!!!) I could be a Nordstroms or Bon Cosmetic Person. I could council people and teach them how to put on make-up correctly. Ever since I was like 12 I have been asking God to give me a trade, some skill that I grow into but I have yet to find it. Jack of all trades master of none oh man is that ever me.
Rant to be continued after my yummy homemade by me lunch.

It seems like you don't like your job that much. If you wanna make good money than you need to work more harder than what you think so you can make good money. It always pays if you put your times and your effort at your job.
YOu have no idea how much it is blessing that you have a job. There is so many people out in this world that has no place to sleep and no place to work. At least you have a job than... you are blessed from God. Nobody likes to work hard, but if you start to like your strees than you will think differently.
I have a brother but he's moving to california very soon. Me and my brother used to fight all the time and argue with little things and I didn't know it was such a blessing to me that I have a brother who can tell me what to do stuff. I didn't like hime when we were fighting and arguing with little things,But Now... I love my brother and I wish he can stay around my family so we can hang out sometimes. Now he's moving to california and I would not going to see him for a while and we cannot argue with little things which means that I am going to be more free but that means I am going to be boring. I have good memories about my brother. I am telling you this story because it seems like you and jeremy got stressed out and I wanna let you guys know even when you guys get so much stress from work place than I want you guys to know all those stress will going to be good memories.
There are many people who doesn't have brothers and sister in this earth but I had a brother at least.
I hope you like your job and think positive way, or you can get another job later and try to see if you like the other job. But I can promise you that if you don't work with your heart in your work place than you will never going to find your job that you were looking for. You have to start like place that you are in and don't try to get away with it. If you go to other place without learning this experience than you ganna have this problem again. You have to find way how to like your job even your boss is pssing you off with something.
It is something that I learned from my experience. I don't like my job sometimes, But if I feel that than... I start honor those people around me. If you know how to be flexible than you will find good job, and better job at any place.
I like both of you guys and I respect everything that you guys do in Hearling room.
Go~! meg~! Rock on~!
You take care. I will see you around.
Karli I would love to teach you how to put make up on. That is fun stuff. You don't need it AT all but you can always enhance what God has blessed you wit.
