Officiating

The last three weeks have been completely crazy. I started officiating high school volleyball on Tues/Thurs/Sat. and then do coed adult rec league on Wed night. Tim has had to take the girls into the evening, and I know that it has been tiring for both of us. I really enjoy it although and have found that if I have to work part-time it is a job that I can totally get into. I used to just do it for the money...now I actually want to be good at it and have found myself getting better in the last few weeks. The bummer is that it is over in October and then I am going to have to get a different job to help meet our budget. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. There are tons of jobs here but they all pay minimum wage...how in the world is a family suppose to survive on minimum wage. Especially with all that is going on in our economy right now. I've already seen the increase in our utilities and they say it is only going to get worse. I have to admit that I'm a little stressed out on how we are expected to make it when our grocery/gas/ and utilities have doubled since last year. I've never been much for politics in the past but this political race has my attention. There is so much more to deal with as an adult. Can't we just be kids again playing in our back yard...totally oblivious to all that is going on around. I know that God is in control, and that He is looking out for us....I just wish I could get my head and my heart to match up.
