A Difficult Time...

Today's Blog Challenge is about a difficult time in my life. i'm sure that i've had more than one difficult time in my life, but one of the hardest times was just this past year (2011-2012) and i was working at a job that i wasn't happy in at all.

The job itself was working with kids - and i loved that! the other "ins and outs" of the job were very difficult to deal with and i found myself in a very.bad.mood. for a very.long.time.

Hubby began noticing how unhappy i was pretty early on in the job. He would try to cheer me up, but it was so hard.

It got real difficult when i decided to leave at the end of the year. This is when the days dragged on and i felt a sense of "punishment" from other people on the job for wanting to leave. It was really hard.

i found myself coping in other areas of my life. i started really obsession over my intake of food (which is something i did in another really hard part of my life in high school). i lost weight - which was healthy, but probably not for the most healthy reasons. i wanted to feel control. And i could control food and exercise!

i also found myself clinging to God and His promises. There were really all i could hold onto. i knew that He had a perfect plan and it was up to me to be patient and wait for Him to move.

And He did! Not in the way i had thought, but it was a way out and i took it.

Now i am so happy! i love my job, the people i work with, and everything else in life is great! It is a good feeling knowing that life is good. i am content and happy and that matters a lot!

So i went home sick yesterday afternoon and wasn't able to write my "Baby Bump Wednesday Post and i didn't even blog on Tuesday...i'll catch up next week!

But i did get my pregnancy pillow! It is wonderful! However, my Pack N' Play is lost in transit somewhere in Georgia...i'm trying to figure out why? Hopefully it gets safely here and i won't have to call and complain, and reorder, and all that nonsense!

Until next time...ta ta for now!
