I had the interview

and, I'm not sure how it went, but it must have went ok bc I start tomorrow!!! I'm SIKED! It looks like I'll be working every evening, and every other saturday. Hopefully I'll get the saturdays that Shaun is home, but either way, my mom will help out if need be. I'm just thankful that God had a plan and that He provides!! THANK YOU GOD!

Trying not to...

get my hopes up, but I may have a praise! A wk or so ago, there was an add for a job reading:
We are in need of a part-time Cashier for our automotive service and parts department. This could be ideal for anyone looking for part-time work. (Approx. 15-19 hours a week.) The day and hours are Monday's & Wednesday's from 4:00pm until 8:00pm, Tues., Wed., & Friday from 4:00pm until 6:00 pm & every other Saturday from 8:00am to 1:00pm. If you enjoy working with customers, have cashier and/or dealership experience and are interested in this position, please visit us in person. At M& M Motor
It was PERFECT for me! Late enough in the evenings for me to get the kids over to my parent's house, but not too late for getting them home and to bed. And, every other Saturday isn't bad. It's not on Sunday, which is a MUST for me. Anyways, I thought, here is my answer to prayer, the job God had me wait for. I went to go fill out an application, and the job was filled :(
No need to say that I was discouraged. I mean, here was the job that just screamed PERFECT FOR HOLLY! Well, the lady was really nice and let me fill out a job app even though the job was filled. This morning, just now, I got a call from her. She is filling the position w/someone else and was hoping I was still interested!!!!! I have an interview tomorrow morning at 9A! I'm trying to keep myself from doing cartwheels in my tiny livingroom...LOL. My heart is full of hope!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray that this is what God wants for me, and that I get this job! This would help take off a lot of the worry I've been feeling about what to do when my sister goes on maternity leave. Plus, it would be nice to have some extra money to help us not be in such a tight position financially.
THANKS :)

Happy Birthday

TO ME!

25 yrs, am I really that old already? I don't feel old. Shaun got me roses and a card. Tonight, Shaun and I are going to a work dinner in Fort Wayne, IN. I'll celebrate w/my family tomorrow night. Friday night I'm going to a Trivia Night thing at our church, it's a youth fundraiser. Saturday, we're going to do something fun w/the kids, maybe go to the Grandville mall and let the boys play and ride the carosel. Then Shaun and I are going out for the evening, and my mom is going to keep the boys over night!

my silly son


updates

This week has thrown me off on so many levels. It's spring break, so my mom is off of work. We did a lot of stuff w/her, plus we had Jaden's eye appt today. Needless to say, I haven't done very good on my diet this week, I don't know why I even try!
Well, lets see. Monday was pretty uneventful. My dad worked on my van a bit. It needs something replaced on the air compressor, and I'm pretty sure it needs a new water pump. I can't keep antifreeze in it to save my life. He already replaced a hose that was leaking. I put on a new radiator cap, but nothing has fixed it. We can't find any other leak, hence why we've determined it needs a new water pump. SUCKS bc it seems like in the past month we've just been shoveling money into the van.
Tuesday, which I kept thinking was Thursday, we took Jaden to Troy to see Dr. Nesi. He seemed to agree w/Dr Nelson's 2nd opinion, that Jaden can wait to have the surgery. He said he too would have wanted to get a 2nd opinion after she did such a 180 on us, but he thinks she's a good doctor. He says we should keep getting him checked yrly, but he thinks we can wait probably another 2yrs to do the surgery.
Wednesday we took the kids to the Grandville mall. It has a kid playland in it, and Jaden LOVES it. Everything is padded so it's very kid friendly. I picked up the boys new Easter outfit shirts bc I had short outfits picked out for them. But, since it's snowing, I thought that probably wasn't the best idea to let them wear.
Thursday, which I kept thinking was Saturday, I went w/my mom, little sisters, my nephew, and Jaden to an indoor water park at the Double JJ ranch. It was fun, a lot better then Fullblast! Jaden did really good, though he did get tired about an hr b4 we were ready to leave. Luckily, Mimi isn't found of the water, so he sat out w/her. Once we got back into town, Shaun and Asher joined Jaden and I to go do some grocery shopping. We got all the supplies for the boys' Easter. They are going to be on a SUGAR HIGH! When we got home, we let J stay up past his bedtime to decorate easter eggs.




And today, we haven't done much yet. Jaden has a doctor's appt this afternoon. They want to make sure his bronchitis is gone, plus we might adjust his allergy meds. Right now he's on claritin and rhinocort (a nose spray). Then this evening, I need to go buy my nephew's b-day present, finish up shopping, and I think Mimi is going to take J to Build a Bear for his Easter present.
Happy Easter everyone!
