Yes, I'm still searching for a job. I had an interview with an accountant last week who was looking for someone to help her. Out of all the jobs that I applied for this is the one that I would have loved to get, it was totally something that I would enjoy doing. During the interview she mentioned that she thought that she would need a full time person and today she called to let me know that someone else got the job, but that she would keep my resume on file. I was disappointed, but yet at the same time I'm thinking that maybe this was not God's timing yet. It's hard to trust God sometimes and to be patient.
Not only am I searching for a job, but I feel like I am searching to find who God created me to be, which is scary and exciting at the same time. So for now I think that I'll focus on getting my life in order so that when the right job does come along, I'll be ready.

Update
First off I just want to thank all of those who left a comment or talked to me personally about the job issue. Everyone seemed to be in agreement that a part time day job would be the better option. Also after praying about it I came to that same conclusion and it was amazing the peace I felt about it afterwards.
I am now in the process of seeking what is out there and I have applied at a couple of places. On Friday I had my first interview and many years and I was quiet nervous about it, so I did research on the Internet about how to have a successful interview and took notes and everything. When Doug got home from work I introduced myself and shook his hand to practise. He thought that I was going a little overboard, that was even before I told him that I was going shopping for a new outfit for the interview. Anyway I did find a nice out fit. It only cost twice as much as what Doug guessed (usually I don't pay regular price for clothes, but I had half an hour to find the perfect outfit). Anyway I went to look over my notes and found that Doug had written in huge letters over my notes that read: JUST BE YOURSELF!!! With all that being said I think that the interview was a success but the job is not totally suitable for this stage in my life so I'll keep looking. I am excited about what is yet to come. I would love to have a fulfilling job, that challenges me, yet at the same time that allows me to keep my family priority.

It's been awhile
This summer has been crazy busy, I have hardly had time to think about my blog, let a lone update it.
This is the first Sunday I have had off in August and we made the most of it. We went for a boat ride this afternoon and then took the boys mini golfing. Then we headed over to my in-laws where our church congregation had an evening service around a camp fire. It was a great way to spend what seems like the last Sunday of the summer. I say that because the boys start school on Wednesday, and that makes it feel like summer is over.
Part of the reason that life has been so busy lately is because I went back to work. When I first started my job I mentioned to my employer that I only wanted to work two Saturdays, one Sunday and the odd evening a month. Well I have been working every Saturday and Sunday and two evenings a week. It is too much, I have no desire to work that much. Anyway if I don't get a backbone soon and tell my employer to cut back my hours, my husband it going to make the call for me. I'm actually thinking about finding a part time day job. I'm not completely crazy about that idea either, because I would have to find someone to watch Brandon, and he cries a lot when I leave him anywhere other then with Grandma, also I would like to be available to go to school functions, and be involved with that as much as possible. But after working evenings and weekends for three years, I'm ready to be done with that too. Especially with the boys going to school during the day, I feel like by heading to work in the evening I hardly get to spend any time with them.
OK, now it's your turn to tell me what you think. I would appreciate any one's input on whether I should find a part time day job or stay working evenings and weekends. I would love to just stay at home full time but that doesn't seem to be an option.
