This is the day the Lord has made I WILL rejoice and be glad in it. I have said that to myself today. It is so easy for me to get in the oh my gosh stage. Really "OH MY GOSH" I have a hard time with school this year. Mollie and I both fell apart the other day. FOr me it was the leaves on the trees turning. I actually thought how on earth is that possible. I already did that. I thought I was on the just once time line. EWe both decided that it is like we thought get through this one year and things will be back to normal. Duh like we don't know he isn't coming home. I lay there thinking "no this isn't what I can do. I already did this and it sucked" Molie has started volleyball and is looking forward to choir. I am so thankful for that.
My yard was full of weeds. I mean the kind that are up to your chest. I have never had them like that. I say it is the rain. I filled 12 bags of weeds. It feels so much better. Tomorrow we are having the whole volleyball teams over the 9th, JV and the varsity. It is for a bar b que. It will be fun, we are setting up the volleyball net, the ping pong, (outside) and the basketball court will be available. I think they will have fun. I am glad now that I weeded.
I haven't done anything for the kids getting ready for school. I told them today we will. Yesturday I went to Sams and then the regular store. I felt so bad, Samuel said to me mom I can't spend any more money on dinner can you cook. SOmething like that. I haven't cooked in forever. I have been working late and then well it just doesn't happen. Michael has been movving back in. I am really having a good attitude about it. I think it will be so good for him. Our prayer has been that his roomates cousin moves in and takes the contract. We will know this weekend.
I have pulled out all of my disshes and I am goind through all of them. I haven't been through the china hutch in forever. I am packing up some and putting then in boxes, so the kids will know what they are,. SOme our our wedding dishes. I like the room to put dishes I use and others use, easier to get to.
Tonight I am having 6 or so women over for dinner. I am making chili and salad. I am so looking forward to it. I have not been with them in a long time and the first time on my porch usually we go to one of the other girls porches. I am so psyched to sit and visit.
My sister Donna is coming in again. I can't wait. She did not get to go back to Nigeria because they are trying to be available to Eds parents. Our Jesse, DOnna's son is engaged. I am so happy for him.
Everyday I see God. Mostly He is so clear in nature. When I stop and look at a lady bug,(all male) and wonder why He would put little dots just so I can see His handy work. I am grateful.
All you have to do it watch now the walnut trees starting to yellow and little bits of the dog wood and see the uncovering of the earth. Putting it to bed. That is what my mom would say. Look at the pattern of putting it to bed. It is in order one type of tree at a time.
The group I am in for the hospital has been so good. They are really working at making it a better place for the patient. I was asked to go to a meeting yesturday and talk. It was with 9 of the out linning hospitals executives. I was so appreciative that they want to hear a patient opinion, Really neat people. I had prayed to be able to help make it a better place for patients. I am one who is going to get what my family needs reguarless no matter what. Others are shy and feel scared to go and get things or ask questions. I am so glad GOd is using me.

Oh when Samuel helped put all the groceries away he kept saying oh wow mom thanks. Bless his heart. What a bad mom. Oh well.
