I know David’s mom means well although there are times when I just want to move far far away so we don’t have to deal with her. Even though she does so much for all of us most of the time and goes above what she should do to make sure Charlie is taken care of and I am grateful for that.
Then she does things she knows will upset me and cause me to doubt myself as a mom and a contributing person in our household. As the other day she stopped by and usual hooked and waited for me to walk out to the car to see what she wanted. So I quit what I was doing and walked out to her car.
As soon as I walked up she says Major Cheney is hiring for a Crossing Guard and you need to make sure and apply for the job before someone else gets it. I just looked at her and said okay thank you and turned and came back into my home. Then a little bit later she texted me the phone number and reminded me to apply and if I didn’t have time to fill out the application she would have Alex my niece do it for me.
Now, hold the horses here she knows I work from home and that my work brings in money and products so why would I want to leave home and get a job? Sherry is the one who is always out shopping and spending money they do not have. So why doesn’t she take the job? Once David got home he let me know he had stopped by his mom to check on them.
Then David asked me about the job because his mom mentioned it to him. I just looked at David and asked him if he wanted me to apply as he knows its time to get Charlie ready to return to school and for me to launch this years Christmas Gift Guide on here. Once I do that I am slammed and have trouble keeping up with the blog.
David looked down at the ground and mumbled ” mom thinks its a good ideal”. So now, David is doubting me and what I do and has me doubting myself. So as I sat here this morning thinking about the job I knew it wasn’t the right thing for me to do for several reasons and the first one is because we don’t know if we will be living her or not.
If we moved and I have to enroll Charlie into a different school I wouldn’t have a way to get to work as David take the car in the mornings. Plus, it would stop my from working while Charlie is at school which means I might have to work in the evening. Which could interfere with Charlies homework.
So last night after Tommy left I came in and turned on the computer and new jobs appeared I had been approved for and this has been happening more and more this week. Which is Gods way of telling me as long as I “fully rely on him” he will take care of us. So at this time I am not going to take the job as I just don’t feel it is what God has in store for my family.
Once again I am asking for Prayers as I know in my heart I did the right thing for my family and I know God knows our needs although if Tommy does allow us to stay our rent may go up and this will keep us from being able to fix the things in the trailer that needs fixed. So this morning as I sit her and Pray and think about things I just hope I am making the right decision as I know the school is still hiring and Davids mom thinks not applying for the job is wrong as she told David that.
Although she had the audacity to contact me this morning and ask if I would be able to get Alex some tickets to take her family to the Aquarium in Dallas. With David’s mom calling and asking for these tickets it shows me she knows what I do. So why in the world would she want me to go out and get a job???
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
