I am really blogging for my kids. So I figured that I will need to make a post about the not so great things that happen in life as well as the good times.
This has been a crazy couple of weeks. It all started last week when I got word from my daycare kids mom that they are moving to Arizona within a couple of months. They have been talking about it for a while but I got the "official" word that they are leaving. So I have been preparing to get my I.C.C.P license by taking a C.P.R. class and going to I.C.C.P. orientation. I.C.C.P means Idaho Child Care Provider. This program helps me to watch children in my home as well as providing low income families with assistance from the state.
On Monday Mike lost his job. Somewhere between then and now the kids have come down with really bad colds. I took Mikey and Carter in for their regular checkups today. I found out that they both have RSV virus. Mikey has a double ear infection. Both of the boys are on nebulizer treatments as well. PHEW!! Things usually are "peachy" for us so I'm not used to all of this.
So the real reason why I wanted to post this was not to complain about this and that. The real reason was so I can tell my children that life isn't perfect and when obstacles get in our way we just have to head right through them and have faith that Heavenly Father will help us, while helping ourselves. Even though Mike has lost his job I feel calm. For those of you who know me that's unusual. I just know that as long as we pay our tithing and continue to keep the Lords commandments as well as actively seek out work and any other direction Heavenly Father wants us to go, we will not fail. Will we get the EXACT blessings that we want? maybe, but maybe not. All I know is we will be blessed how the Lord sees fit and that's all that matters. The boys both got blessings today and I'm sure that they will be feeling better soon. As far as my job is concerned I feel like I am preparing myself enough so I can get more children to watch. We really are blessed. We still have a roof over our heads, and each other. Last but certainly not least we have the gospel.

thata girl Taylor :) I love you and am really missing being around you as a Mother, it's another side of you that I'd LOVE to be around more often.
This is a great post Taylor. I'm so sorry to hear about all of the struggles that your little family is going through right now. I'm so glad that we can pull together as sisters and be here for each other. Emotionally if not physically. :) I too wish that I could be around you more. Way to keep your chin up and your testimony strong! I love you!
