Bleah!

This week has sucked so far. Rob is very sick. I'm starting to get sick. Conor is also sick, and I found lice in his hair tonight. Luckily, he is a boy, so solving the lice problem on his head was a matter of clippers with the 3mm guide on them. Thought we were free and clear, hadn't seen any eggs or lice for 2 weeks. Checked girls. Ashlin's okay, Taryn had 2 lice and a few eggs. I don't know what's going on. Is it possible we are missing nits, or is Taryn getting reinfested at school? Tried Denorex on Taryn. Didn't notice any dead lice, but again, I only found two total after a very complete check(I am SO glad we got a terminator comb).

I have no work and no income. We're okay for a few weeks, though. This lack of work really got me thinking though - is this what I want life to be for the next 6-8 years as I work on my Masters part time? Struggling to find contracts I want to do until I have the qualifications to more easily get the kinds of job(s) I want? Decided no. If I get accepted, I'll be going for my Masters full time. 2 years and it's done.

This has a God-feel to it - I have peace about it, and perhaps I needed this time of no income to jolt me into making a big decision. Come to think of it, I generally do not make dramatic moves unless almost forced. Youth care for example - totally stressed and quite unsuited for the job, yet the only reason I left was because I got injured so badly I had to. Went for my BSW only because it was such a struggle to find decent employment. I find it really difficult to make big changes, which makes me wonder if God's hand is in this lack of employment just to get me to move on something.

However, best case scenario, even if accepted, it's 10 months before I start. So what does God have in mind for that time period? No clue. I feel like I've just got to trust him. What's the alternative?

Prayers appreciated. I'm a horrible mommy when I'm stressed.
