Thank you Kimberly...for finding the song for me. The first song on the playlist is the song I listened to on the radio the other day. Kimberly found it for me.
I downloaded a couple of others from this artist as well...hope you like Brooke as much as I do.
So...sorry for not posting in a 'coons age.
It amazes me that I can have SO much on my mind yet when I come over to my blog...I have nothing to say. Sadly...my most meaningful friendships right now are with those in the blogger world...that is how alone we have become in the city.
I am thankful for my mom and my sister and my husband...they keep me sane. I miss a lot my other friendships though...my friends who I used to scrapbook with...the ones who's homes I would invade for coffee until the wee insane hours of the morning. I don't have anyone like that right now.
The hubster has once again been applying for work.
His TA job has been good...and a much needed source of income. His contract however, ends in December and he has been searching all over for another teaching position or TA position. Not many positions BEGIN in December...
...except for one in southern Alberta.
Again...a full circle. If he gets this job he will be commuting on the weekends. It's a 5 hour drive.
I don't believe in deja vu...but this is SO it.
Pray for us. Pray for the people who will find it hard to take if we move again next year.
We are considering the idea of homeschooling because our children need some stability. They are tired of settling into new schools everytime we move. I am tired of getting services established from scratch for our son with high-functioning autism (because the powers that be ALWAYS make false assumptions about his abilities and then ALWAYS back peddle when they realize they have been wrong to NOT trust the diagnosis...sorry...slight rant there!). Homeschooling with a good social net could work well for him. I would be able to provide the one on one he needs.
I know there are MANY homeschoolers in bloggy land. I will come searching for some good advice when we get to that bridge...be warned...keep your 'black book' ready for when I need it folks. I will love you for it!
Anyways. We would be okay with a relocation back to southern Alberta...that's where we had hoped to be staying for good...two years ago! The job for the 'man' is one that he is custom cut for...
Oh...my head is swimming again.
I need a good coffee with a neutral and loving and honestly inquiring friend...
Good thing I'm off to church.
Where I can meet with the Lord!

Oh, Evi! I'm so sad that you're struggling! I, too, find that we just get so busy with jobs and kids and activities, that finding that 'friend' time almost feels like another chore that we just don't have the energy for! Blog land is my time on my terms, which works for me right now too! Although when I do make the time for real live people, I have the time of my life and wonder why I don't do it more often!
We really DO need to find time for that coffee break, though, don't we?
Oh my, you do have a lot to deal with right now; I'll certainly be praying for wisdom for you and your husband. I home schooled my daughters, of course that was back in the dark ages before people did "that kind of thing." I loved it as did my girls, and it was so much easier than I thought it would be.
Wherever the Lord will lead is where you need to be - even if that means far away from family again. You are always in our prayers. Now if the hubster got a job in town....... The Lord knows if that would be the answer. He is the one who opens and closes doors and provides a way.
Love always!!
Oh Evi, I just wish I could fly on the wings of a bird and land right on your doorstep...good coffee in hand. Don't you just love how God works? I can only imagine the questions and frustrations and aches that you are suffering right now, but know that He is good. He is sovereign, and He has this whole thing under control. And, it will be good. It will. Just trust. Easier said that done, I know. You are loved by this bloggy stranger! I don't know how or when my heart knit to yours, but it did. Must be the Holy Spirit. ~XOX
I will be praying....okay we need to figure out if our paths crossed in Edmonton!! I scrapbooked too ...got my start in Edmonton...where did you go to church again? When I first arrived, I went to Fellowship Baptist then left and went to Know E-Free in Strathcona-loved it! Where did you go to high school? Maybe YFC came into your school!! I am watching right now on tv a show called Heartland and I think it is filmed in southern Alberta...beautiful!! Take care and hope you can find just one live friend to have coffee with and talk late into the night!
Evi...e-mail me your e-mail. ksmapel@msn.com
Okay, I was in Edmonton in '92 to '97. My first place I lived in was in the apartments north of Heritage Mall which was a hop skip and jump away from NABC! My roomies had friends there AND my one roomie married one...Donovan Poulin who would have been there when you were there. I remember James MaClure too. This is getting exciting! I think we are narrowing it down.
That's some pretty heavy stuff. Good thing we serve a really strong God. Prayers for your family in the upcoming decisions.
Southern Alberta?!
That's no good :'(
Say it ain't so! I am praying that you find stability in one place for awhile! You guys need and deserve it...
and FYI...You TOTALLY made me laugh on the comment you just left about ANONNY. It was so funny!
