Fun Friday: Job Hunt

z

I got this from Fr. Miguel and I thought I would share it . . .

1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. Couldn't concentrate!

2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just  couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it -- mainly because it was a sew-sew job.

4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.

5. Then, tried being a Chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn't have the thyme.

6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it ... couldn't cut the mustard.

7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found I wasn't noteworthy.

8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but
didn't have any patience.

9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.

10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn't live on my net income.

11. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool
Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining.

12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I  wasn't fit for the job.

13. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a Historian - until I realized there was no future in it.

14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because it was the same old grind.

15. SO, I TRIED Retirement AND FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

Triumph Of The Holy Cross = Baby Boy

Today is a very powerful feast day in the Catholic Church, feast of the Triumph of the Cross. This is also a big day in our family, the day that we had our ultra sound and we found out that we are discontinuing the “girl” streak, our next baby will be a BOY!

The news came as a shock, a joyful shock because we don’t know how to raise a boy nor do we have any boy stuff (clothes, toys, etc.) But no need to worry because as usual, when God sends the little ones, He never includes any instructions with it, only graces! Please pray for us!

September Means New School Year

So, the month of August has came and gone. Where did the time go? Come to think of it, this whole year has been moving rather fast. It is now September, which means a new year for homeschooling. We are following the Northern school year, which starts the day after Labor Day.

Coby came up with some new ideas to reorganize the school room to be a little bit more user friendly. Bookshelf against the wall came from an idea she had found from another blog. I just made it a little bit better. The girls love sitting in front of the books and just picking out books and reading them.

Now our school room is very cozy and roomier and we are ready to start homeschooling.
