Something happened at work the other day which I didn’t understand until much later. Now I can hardly stop smiling over it all.
Dan comes into my work all the time. He’s nearly 70, gruff, but usually in a good mood and razzes us girls at the front counter. Dan is a tall guy and fairly [...]

Mindy’s Open House
The party went well. Rob and I are exhausted. L spent the weekend with his former foster family. I also, for some reason, painted the bathroom over the weekend. Am I a nut, or what?

My Best Pal Joan
For the past 4 days, my best work-friend Joan has not been feeling well. Joan and I are such a pair.We finish each other’s sentences, we make inside jokes constantly, and we generally work very hard and also goof off a bunch.
Today when I got to work, Joan was lamenting her medical bills and said [...]

New Home in My Old Hometown
So I was checking out Stormy’s (former foster daughter’s) MySpace today and it says she is moving back to the town that Rob and I just moved from a few months ago. It’s also the town WHERE I WORK.
I have a couple of problems with this, manily that Stormy is a shoplifter and I don’t [...]

Lucy in the Sky
Oh sweet Lucy girl.
When last you heard from me, I mentioned about having too many kids to fit in my car, so Rob and I were both going to drive a car-load of kids to church today. That did happen. We brought 8 of the 14 which were there. One of those children is Lucy, [...]

All the Blessings
All the blessings I can think of are right here, right now:
Mindy came today to help pack up and move out. It was good to see her and talk with her. My sweet Mindy Lou Who.
Rob is amazing. I already knew that, but reading through our letters from High School and after, I see that [...]

Merry Christmas 2008
Every single thing is changing. Nothing is left out. But the Lord is still on His throne. He will provide. He alone is my strength and salvation. Praise to His name. Amen.

Annoyed
I came home sick from work today, after only 5 hours. Had my boss been there, I wouldn’t have dared. But my weekend partner was adamant that she not get sick from me, and fairly forced my hand to leave. I didn’t put up much of a fight.
I came home and Rob made me soup. [...]

Love Is All Around
Tonight we watched Love, Actually. It was sweet, but I don’t believe I’d watch it again. I was glad when Stormy left the room because, HELLO, embarassing. We never have rated R movies in this house, so I wonder how this one filtered through the Netflix Queue. Hmm.
It was a great day today. Stormy had [...]

I’m Out
Nothing bad happened. I just don’t want to do this anymore? Is that normal?
I think it happened when Stormy went back to school and saw her friends. All day today I looked forward to seeing her and making dinner together and hanging out. Then she called and said she was staying the night at her [...]

Hard Time Dealing
I’m having a hard time dealing with our move from the home we’ve lived in for 14 of the 15 1/2 years of our marriage. We took this place from a crappy little rental to a pretty nice little home. We added on, we did renovations and rehab. We’re far from finished, but it’s our [...]

Trust
I am going to trust that this all works out for Good. Anxiety and frustration have all but overcome me. Fear does not even enter into the equation.
At age 35, Rob and I are taking chances and risks. We’re going to do this thing God has asked us to do, go where He sends us, [...]

Failure
I am a dud. And not of the Milk variety.
It seems that if there’s problems with your coworkers, your boss, your niece, and then your husband, that the problem, Jayleigh, is not with THEM but with you.
Did I need to shout at my husband for not putting away the flowers like I asked him to?
Was [...]
