Going back to work

Tomorrow is a big day.  It is one that I have been looking forward to and dreading at the same time.  I went into the office to turn in paperwork last Friday and I about freaked out.  I felt the anxiety rise so quickly and I felt my face go pale and my eyes welled up with tears.  I was immediately thrown into the unhappiness in the office.  It made me very sad to see it and feel it.

I will be OK.  I am going to focus on the joy of the job that I do. We all know I love caring for pregnant women.

I talked to Jason about scheduling myself one night a month to be able to still care for pregnant mommies.  I would like to do that. I know I will find myself getting frustrated and tired but ultimately I know I will be happy being next to my mommies.

Keone came home.  I know Chris is upset and Keone is upset but he is handling it as well as can be.  The first thing I told him was that he simply has to stop lying.  I can’t have it.  Then he has to pay 100 a month for rent.  He has to have  a plan to have somewhere else to go.  He said, probably Sams.  He has to find a job.  We discussed many options but ultimately he has to figure it out. I told him he could use the car for work only.  For time with his friends he will have to coordinate with them.  He said he will go to counseling.  I forewarned him about my counselor and that he will probably hear things that he doesn’t like. I am sad that my boy is sad but I explained to him that I have coddled him for too long and empowered him to think that everything should be given to him.  He has to take responsibility now.  I want to help and I will help but only so much.  Rules and boundaries is how I get to help right now and that sucks! But it is important for both me and him.

Many things have happened since I last journaled but I can’t share them all right  now.  I need to get to bed so I can get to crossfit in the morning.  Things are going to be good.  They really are.  I am going to be fine.  Life will be good.  Life is good.  God is good and he continues to guide me.  I want to continue to do his work and find myself in order to be the best for Him that I can be.  Good night and be well.
