Let's get real

I have always tried to have this blog be as real as possible - and I think I have done a fairly good job. I post about my joys, and also my sorrows and frustrations. I could say that this blog does a fairly good job at showing my real life as a young mother to small children. I obviously don't share everything - some things are too sacred and personal and I obviously don't want to "air my dirty laundry".

One thing I hadn't put on this blog yet - but is very pertinent to our life is that Jason was laid off from his job about a month ago. It wasn't just the blog I didn't share it with - I only told very few people - I just couldn't bare the thought of telling people - again - that Jason had lost his job. I HATE the concerned faces, I just didn't want anyone to know, and I didn't want anyone to feel like they had to help. I know that is not very "Christlike", I know it is all out of love. I am VERY aware that it is all pride on my part. I guess not wanting anyone to know - meaning I don't want anyone concerned, means I don't want prayers - and that is just stupid to not want prayers. But that is how I felt. I was sick of being the ones that people are praying for, and concerned about - we are ready to be the one's helping other people, being concerned about other people. Cna anyone relate? Anyways, needless to say it has been a hard month. Maybe one day I will get around to posting about the lessons I have learned about faith - and am still trying to learn - while going through this trial.

Good news is, Jason found a job. I guess that is why I can blog about it now. So to celebrate we went to the zoo.
