Lifes funny twists and turns!

Well, I should know by now that life always takes funny twists and turns. Today is my Daughter's 13th birthday and I am completely not ready for it. She is turning into a beautiful, wonderful young lady and I am very proud of her. She is already learning some hard life lessons, and doing well when things don't go her way most of the time. I just keep praying that God continues to touch her life and she follows his plan for her.
Speaking of God's plan, it is very hard to figure out what his plan is for my son. He felt like it was God's plan for him to play football, that it was his way into college, but that may not be. He has been injured for three weeks, and now we have found out that he will probably be having surgery in the next few weeks. Talk about your twists. The Dr. thinks that he has torn the cartilage that surrounds the joint in his shoulder. He is handling it better than me. I do not want my son to have another surgery. He has had three already in his life and that is way too many. He loves sports and this will probably put him on the sidelines for the rest of the year. Not how he wanted to spend his Junior year of high school.

My Kids Sports

Well, we are getting ready for our sixth football game, and the second one Nathan will have to sit out. He was hurt in the last one, played the whole game any way and was the top tackler, and now has a separated shoulder. He has to sit out this week, something he doesn't like to do, and starts practice again on Monday. The team is 3-2 and is doing ok, but they have to win three of the next four games to make it to the playoffs. If they can win the next three they are definately in. Karly's 7th grade basketball team is 6-0 as off tonight, and she is also playing on the 8th grade team some. They are 5-1. I am impressed with the way the 7th grade girls play together, but not with the coach. Maybe it is just the coach in me, but I am sure they could be playing much better. I am very proud of my kids and really enjoywatching them.

Time

I am sitting here, feeling rather depressed. I have been looking for a job and can't seem to find one. Have sent my resume out to almost every place that has had an opening and I have only recieved one interview. I feel like I have been doing this for years. Maybe I am just impatient, but I am so unsure about what I have spent the last two years doing. I sent one out last week, had several letters of recomendation, and still no call. A friend also sent hers and she didn't get a call either. My guess is they already had someone in mind. That still doesn't help much. I am also second guessing getting my Masters degree. What if that is what I am supposed to be doing? I don't know. I am confused and lost on this page and I am not sure when to turn it. I am doing alot of substitute teaching, but that doesn't pay much and it isn't very fullfilling. I don't know, maybe I just need to get another job and forget about this. I think I am completely waisting my time waiting for something that may never come.
