I could have sworn I put a post in on Tuesday. It seems to be missing. Very mysterious. Oh well...I don't remember anything really fascinating happening on Tuesday.
I spent the night out last night with Addie. We went to Harrah's and stayed at the hotel there. We had dinner at the buffet there--which was pretty good, although I was really hoping to have some of their wonderful carrot cake for dessert. But, to my sadness, no carrot cake. All in all the food was pretty good.
I learned firsthand this morning why I do not go gambling very often. Well, it's not like I always have the money to, but that's another story. I was on my last $0.50 and decided to risk it all--that's right, all $0.50! And you know what???? I WON $100!!!! Did I cash out? Yes. Did I walk towards the hotel? Yes. Did I give in and plan to just go back and spend $20 of it? Yes. But then, did I go crazy and lose it all??? YES!!!!! How frustrating! It was so awesome to win $100 off of $0.50! And then the casino did it's job and sucked me in! Oh well...I really did have a lot of fun. I do wish I had come away with all that money, though!
I am assuming it is okay to publish this info, as Kris has already told several people. Yesterday, Kris put in his two weeks notice at Metlife, after working there for nearly 8 years. Yesterday, he was offered a position with XSBid, which is a company that has been wanting to hire him for almost 2 years. Things finally came into place, financially (for them and for us) and so Kris has accepted the position with XSBid. He will tentatively start on April 12, as his last day at Met is scheduled to be April 9. How exciting. He is really looking forward to having a normal 7-3, 8-4, 9-5 (whichever it might be) schedule. And I am looking forward to that too. As a matter of prayer, we recognize that God has chosen to bless us even more financially, and that He believes we are ready to be disciplined and honor what he has given us. Please pray that we will be faithful to Him, by first of all paying off all credit card debt, and second of all by putting $1000 in savings. We have other goals, but these are the two immediate goals, that will require much prayer and also much discipline. Anyway, Kris is at a meeting right now to announce to the supervisors that he has officially quit. I'm so proud of him, for all that God has accomplished through him--he is an amazing guy, with a brilliant mind. God has gifted him greatly and I know that God will continue to use Kris and the gifts he has given him to reach out and further His kingdom.
The kids are still trying to get over their colds. I was gone for one night and I came back to the kids being lethargic and whiny. Come to find out Kris had given them way more cold medicine than their little bodies needed. So this time they really were drugged! No wonder he didn't have any problems while I was gone!!! Apparently he didn't read the bottle of medicine, nor bother to measure the right amounts. So everyone got about 1 1/2 times the amount they were supposed to. Kind of funny! So, that's the worst that happened while the kids were left solely in Kris' care (good thing we don't use brandy to treat them). He always does really well with them and I never have cause to worry--but maybe next time I should write out really big how much each kid is supposed to have! They are all sleeping it off, so hopefully they will be better when they wake up. Thought you guys would enjoy that little piece of info.
