Saturday was a buisy day. Talk about hot. The volleyball girls and parents came over and I think we all had a good (hot) time. I couldn't have done it without Michael. He was very helpful. Samuel had gotten some kind of food poison so he was under the weather.
I enjoyed hearing of Mollie and Samuels interaction down in the basement. There was a small bag that Mollie put in Samuels room, he then put it in hers. When he was sleeping she placed it back in his. While she was gone Samuel put it in her drawer. Samuel in the shower it went under his mattress pad. Back and forth they went. She was laughing while telling me. I was donw on her bed folding with her when she opened the door to the bag. I lloved that. Brandon started school this last week and likes his classes. Michael, Mollie and Samuel start tomorrow. Mollie has to be there at 5:45 for volleyball., I think that a little silly on the first day of school.
I think I am struggling more then I have for a while. ALl seems way to big. I got the yard mowed, and all the dishes put back together. I am trying to get things for a garage sale. I have the things in MIke's attic of the garage., Boxes of nails and screws, this and that. I am not selling any tools, the kids will want them. I want to have the tools also.
Back to struggling. I think as you know I say that character is much over rated. I feel like I am in the learning stage again, how I do friends, what kind of a friend am I? ALl the things we ask ourselves in different stages of life. How I treat the kids, on and on. I have felt a urgency around me, like oh no the trees are changing am I ready? FOr what I don't know. I just keep getting that feeling. I enjoyed riding the mower tonight praying for the kids. I find I am not doing that very much lately. Just in a survivor mode. Hoping I have all things ready for school, work, house making meals. Things that usually are very easy for me are not. Weird for sure. DOn came over on Sat, I made a big fat F, I am determined to work harder on all that. I just was lost and couldn't be found. Now I am found and I don't like where I am at. He is so patient. I do want to learn and make a good way for the kids. It is a big learning time for me.
My father continues to go down hill. DOnna has been in Lawrence seeing him and Mary Beth, She will come here tomorrow. I am so thankful for that.,
