The Office

No, I'm not referring to the new show on television, although it is HILARIOUS. I'm referring to my new place of employment. This time however I'm wielding rubber gloves and a sponge instead of a pen and paper. Yes, I am officially a janitor!! Well, we like to refer to me as the "cleaning staff"! Brian decided he was going to replace the former cleaning lady around the same time I was applying for jobs. I had applied for a couple and never heard back from them. I really just wanted something for this period of waiting, something that would bring in a little money. When he mentioned that he would be replacing her, I said "I'll do it!". I love to clean so it's really right up my alley. And I was glad to do it b/c every time I'd go to his office I'd find myself cleaning anyway b/c the other girl was not very thorough. So, I go in and clean in the mornings before anyone else arrives. It's quiet and I go at my own pace and I'm finished with work very early. I'm on an every other day kind of rotation. I just love it. I know it sounds a little nutty. Most people would not prefer that type of job. But I find it just perfect for what I was wanting and now, when we go to get the baby, there will be no problem with quitting.....I know the boss. So, thank you Lord for this very befitting job. I prayed very specifically for the best type of job for our situation and I believe that is what I've got!!

Oh, gosh, I got so tickled at your kid quotes! Oh, me. If you haven't seen the "You've got to read this" thing on my sidebar, go click on the one that says "bananas" in parentheses... I can't remember the title. I laughed so hard at it because that kind of conversation happens from time to time with our Jack. It's like the "this is a real dream?" kind of conversation. So funny. You just give up after awhile!
Love the picture of Brian and Silas. You need to put one of Shiloh over there!

I think that once again, we can see God's hand, even in this job, don't you? Well, of course you do, you said it first, but I agree.

I loved the kid's quotes, so them. They really made me laugh, it's good medicine and very refreshing. Thanks. Great pictures, too.

Love you,
Mom
