Blessings in the Mail

I believe that God blesses us when we least expect it. Yesterday, we received in the mail a check we were totally not expecting & even though it was just over $60 it will be enough to put gas in the car and buy groceries & mail some of my projects off to those in need.

I will be mailing the quilt to the dispatcher who had to give CPR instructions to her co-workers family for her co-worker, one of the girls who first posted to my blog, my mothers pillow I made of my grandfather & the Iowa flood victims quilt.

Please, do not think ill of me for taking so long, it is just when you family goes from 2 incomes to 1 so quickly, you have to take care of family first!

I am currently working on 2 UFO's in my pile that have just been making me crazy with guilt for not finishing them. One goes to a lady who is still suffering from loosing her home to Katrina. I made so many for a group of police dispatchers and then life got in the way...I broke me leg, sold my home, moved in with friends, didn't have my sewing machine,supervised work on our new home, broke my leg again and now can finally step on the sewing pedal again.

Off to an interview today with another school district for my emergency certification & possibly a trip out to the beach to pick up my other one and then I can send all of this to Olympia and I should be set if the prison doesn't call me.

I want to thank each and everyone of you who have sent me Emails encouraging me and telling me not to give up hope in my job search. I just feel so discouraged! I was supposed to know something last week & here I am once again hanging in limbo for a note that tells me I have a job or no thanks!

I am sorry, but I am ready to hang my head in shame and run back to Arizona. Not that I like the area a whole bunch, but because it is larger I feel I might have better luck at finding a job.
Even my kids are calling me & telling me they have never known me to go so long without working. Oh well, it does give me time to finish my quilts!
