Once a Month....Glass Half Full!!!

When I started school I honestly thought I'd be blogging MUCH more than this, but I'm totally failing at styaing in touch with you guys and mostly  me!  Once enough on my little piece of space isn't enough, and I'm starting to feel heavy again -too many thoughts, too many feelings, and not enough Joyful people in my life!  SO!  To counteract that, I'll post my Glass half full NEXT WEEK, so start getting your stories ready! 

I have one for you.  *Ahem*  Are you ready?
I am now a full time student.  I am exhausted and we are SO BROKE!  :)  We have lots of love, so that's okay.  So I picked up a part time job to help Michael not feel so squeezed and obligated, thankful though I am.  It's a job where I'm working with children who can't really help themselves and need extra care.  In my interview, it was for a 1:1 position.  Well, I got my job placement and I have THREE children I'm working with.  Two are nonambulatory (Stuck in wheelchairs), all three are nonverbal (don't talk) AND incontinent (use diapers).  So I hang out with them, change diapers, feed them through G-tubes, and shower them.  It's WAY more stressful than I bargained for, but I like it -sort-of.  It's physically exhausting and emotionally challenging working with these kids because they're going to die -soon, in a few years, who knows....but it's coming. 
I was crying about it to my DH -he's really awesome, and you know what he said -"Babe -if you really can't handle it, it's okay.  There's only so much you can do and money is just money.  If you need to quit, that's okay by me.  I just want you to be happy."

*SWOON* 

He's so wonderful!  :)  Needless to say I'm not quitting, but I am thankful for an amazing husband.  I hope everyone is having a stellar Tuesday!

Make sure you come back on Monday for Glass Half Full!  :)
