Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about what is important in life and asking God to give me patience to let life unfold how its suppose to. Sometimes this is easier said than done.
Working as a dairy freelancer is overwhelming wonderful, but its uncertainty in the amount of work (and amount of income) can be a bit nerve wracking, especially with this smart, budget conscious Jersey mama!
Well...today was one of those days that everything unfolded unexpectedly well. I received a few calls for future projects for the 2011 calendar year. Lets just say that it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulder.
But, perhaps the biggest reward today came when the school bell rang. Shortly after, my first-grader came home with a smile and shouted, "I was leveled for reading and I'm reading at level i."
Well level i was our (Tyler & I) goal to get at by the end of the school year. Here we are half way through it and he is there! Not that our work is done by any means, we will still hit the reading hard, but it just makes me burst into tears with overwhelming joy. My 6 year old who didn't talk until he was 2, barely saying just a few words and who worked so hard in speech for two years has always been determined, hard working and smart and well, this is victory is a small stepping stone for Tyler. It allows him continued confidence to love school and love reading.
And, although I'm so thankful for a few new projects to keep my mind out of trouble and help pay the bills...I'm most thankful for my job that lets me be home with my children...allowing me to do many things, include work on reading with my 1st grader, who now reads at 2nd grade level. Tyler--"You are rockin' the 1st grade" and I couldn't be prouder. I love you.
