Blessed

As I sit here, I find myself feeling so giddy. I don’t have any reason and I have no clue why. Really no reason at all. Life here at the Rawlings is pretty much the same. Application after application is filled out day in and day out. Hearing “accepting applications but not hiring at this time”, “Sorry you are over qualified for this type of job”, “Your application is still in process”. Alrighty then! Whatever, God knows what he is doing and knows what path he is leading us so I will have faith in his will. I think I get a “high” from a successful day of making my way thru what I call the black hole upstairs. For you that knew me when Tim, Katy and I were younger (much younger) you know we were pretty much slobs when it came to our rooms. We could always shut the door and nobody would know. Heck I don’t think my mom dared to venture into our rooms. (I know Katy…it was all my side! not) I think she feared the floor would swallow her. Well that is how I felt going upstairs today. Between the girls room, the boys room and the sitting room…Not a pretty sight. Lets put it this way….I still had my Christmas stuff lined up along the hall to be put away yet. Add some, no LOTS of clothes, books and shoes in that and well you get a HUGE mess!!!! and that is just the sitting room/hall. After spending 2 hours upstairs I was content for the time being. The boys room actually has a floor!!! The sitting room! There is a loveseat that you can actually sit on! Oh my gosh and you can walk down the hall with more room then you need and not even stepping on anything! The only thing that is left in the boys room is to go thru their clothes and donating whatever they don’t wear or doesn’t fit. The girls don’t do to bad of a job on their room when they clean it so I have faith that they will get that done before the weekend is over.
I am full of joy that the three older kids were able to get something big with their refunds this year that they have wanted. Tyler a TV for his room, Cayla a laptop and Brooke a full size bed. They all deserve it more then anyone I know. They are good kids and they never ask for anything. They are ALWAYS content.
I was definitely blessed with awesome children!
