that's what today is.... Tuesday, August 21st.
Got a text message from the 19 y/o ds. His son is to be born today. Another grandson.... his name shall be Keegan Matthew. I'll post pictures if and when I can....
Dh is in one of his "give away" modes.... while I am trying to sell certain things to get money to pay for Momma's headstone... he is busy giving away the very things I am wanting to sell! So what am I to do? If I say something to him, he gets angry with me, so I guess I will need to work extra and save my own for Mom. Just to have peace in this house.
As you can tell by my post, I am a bit down today. I wake up to 3 piddle puddles on the floor, one on my Mom's chair (by the floor, but still) that weren't there 10 minutes before when all the dogs went out to go potty. Then, I discover that a Winnie the Pooh blanket that I bought for my granddaughter to use when she is here, was taken home by her parents yesterday, and more likely than not, won't be returned any time soon. But conveniently enough, my son had moved his swimming trunks from outside (where he left them for over 3 days) to the front porch (for 3 days) and then to the couch for a day, to my sewing room table. They can forget those every time they come, but the only blanket I had for my DGD is now gone?
....Children awoke late and had no interest in school today, husband anounced that he was "giving away" the things he thought he could, and I have to go to work again. CNA's are really getting out of hand there. And I had 3 of the worst on my shift alone last night. I have the kind that like to discuss medications with family members (Knowing that is a HUGE no-no!), then when you ask for a bandaid to be put on a resident's toe, they say, "Oh, I'm allowed to do that? I don't want to overstep my boundaries! I am only a CNA!"
Just yuk... pure and simple yuk....
I just need an attitude change, and quick! Prayers will be graciously accepted.....
Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it always seem like "when it rains it pours?" I wonder sometimes if it's not the trial before us but the lesson learned that's the hardest to grasp?
I wanted you to know that I've followed your blog for several weeks and we have lifted you and yours in prayer daily.
In our family we have a saying, "I'll meet ya at the gate". When friends and family are coming it's so exciting that we always meet them at the gate instead of waiting for them to come to the door. Just as our loved one has left us to be with Jesus, we know they will be excited when we arrive and they'll "meet ya at the gate".:)
Praying your days get better, and know that "this too shall pass".
God be with thee!

I know how hard things are right now and I hate that you are going through them. Know that the Lord is in control and He will provide the means for you to get the headstone you desire for Mom. Keep praying and you will see.
ReplyDeleteI miss talking with you and hope we can do more of it soon. Be blessed friend and know that you have someone out there praying for you.
Lord, please bring peace to my dear friend, comfort and prosperity. Guidance and LOVE!!! Amen
Love ya friend,
My goodness! Well, I don't blame you one bit for feeling down. Sometimes we have to give ourselves permission to feel those feelings in order to come out on the other side of them. If we just keep pushing them down, we'll never work through them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just have to say ~ I so understand about those piddle puddles!! With two dogs, it doesn't matter how well you clean or how many times you let them out, it will still happen. And I've got shag carpet!! LOL! Ewww. (We are hoping to remedy said carpet within the next year or so...)
I hope you find a smile today.
