Multi-job City!

In seminary, I worked a variety of different jobs, and usually at the same time, as well as doing classwork! It was great fun, and I so longed for the day when I would have one job. Having had just one job for the last 5.9 years, I am now back in the situation of having several jobs! I'm working at Staples Tuesday-Thursday, and Saturday, from 6 a.m. until 11 a.m. I am teaching two classes at the local junior college (CSM) on Tuesday and Thursday (12-1:25 and 5:30-6:55). Jen is also teaching two classes at CSM on Tuesday and Thursday. On top of that, I am now working at a local Christian school--King's Christian Academy--as the a lunchroom monitor, a resource room person, and American History teacher! Three jobs, plus a family, working out, running, etc. It's gonna be busy for a while! On top of that, we're still waiting . . . . on the Air Force recruiter to call. If you need me, try my cellphone. If that doesn't work, try the local insane asylum!!!

Well, we've finally heard--I have been accepted into Phase III of the Chaplain Accessions Application Process! This is AWESOME NEWS!!! We are not very gifted in "patience." So, here's what this means--we have to meet with a recruiter who will guide us through all of the paperwork, negotiations (any advice out there?), etc., necessary to sign our lives away! No idea how long this will take. It's going to require me to find one or more part-time jobs, and perhaps Jenny as well. Actually, I start work at Staples on Tuesday, unless I get something better. Jen's pretty psyched about the employee discount. At any rate, it's been a much less stressed evening at the Smith house. I'll keep you up-to-date as I know more. Sorry it's not been an very active blog, but we just haven't known much!
