Rain, rain, go away...
Well, today is a rainy freezing cold Saturday. Absolutely miserable ouotside. My poor daffodils and hyacinths aren't going to know what to do with themselves! Oh well, we didn't really have much of a winter, so I guess I can't really complain. And I guess we need the rain...blah, blah, blah...
Well, Brittani's Meme (Debbie's mom) is here for the weekend. She's so sweet. Britt has to do her Drama in church tomorrow so she wanted to come see it. I'm so glad she comes down for things like this, I think it means a lot to Brittani, kinda gives her a sense of that side of her family. Even if she never does see her mom. But thats not Britt's fault. Debbie madde her choice and now Brittani and in turn, us, have to pay the price for it. Debbie's selfish decisions affect a whole lot more people than just her and John and Britt. But, what else can we do except try to deal with what we have now. We have to try to pick up the pieces of Brittani's broken heart and scotch tape them together the best we can. It will get better. Please Lord, let it get better.
Can you tell the way the crappy weather is affecting me?!?!
On a lighter note, the Ladies Retreat last weekend was a great time. The speaker was not as, let's say, dynamic as some of the other years...(she was the Dean of Education at Philedelphia Biblical University...snnnoooorrrreeee....), but I think she had some good things to say. The fellowship alone was worth the trip. And, (big drum roll here) I actually confronted my one friend that left me scrounging for a roommate. I was so proud of myself! Anyone who knows me knows I really tend to let things slide off my back, but I didn't want any resentment to be there so I talked to her and told her how I felt and she apologized...Profusely!!! I actually felt bad because I made her cry, and I totally didn't mean to do that! I just wanted to get some stuff off my chest! But she said she had been so overwhelmed with stuff in her life that this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. She sounded really sincere, and I really believed she was truly sorry...so I was very glad that I got the guts to do that. Yay me!
Well, my darling little Baylee had her Kindergarten Visitation last week. She was so excited and had so much fun that she was literally shaking and trembling when she was telling me about it! She's so darn cute, and so enthusiastic! I hope she keeps this joy for learning throughout her whole life. I have to say...I'm very emotional about her growing up so fast. I remember bringing her home from the hospital like it was yesterday....
It was the day of my 27th birthday. I was wearing this baggy blue overall dress thing that was so ugly, but too comfy to pass up. Shadow was the only one here at the house waitning for us. I was so scared I wouldn't know what to do. After all, hadn't I just given birth to her at 3:32a.m. the morning before? All I wanted to do was to go back to the hospital so I could ask the nurses a hundred million questions like I had been, but there was no going back...we were home.
The Lord must have known how nervous I was because, thankfully, he gave me a sleeper! I timed her one day...she actually slept like 20-21 hours a day back then! Holy cow, I thought there was something wrong with her! But that was fine with me. I didn't even hardly ever put her down when she was asleep. I just loved to hold her all the time. It was so peaceful. I would basically spend my days holding, nursing, and sleeping with my little angel. She was the absolute best baby! We were so lucky...and we still are. She has grown to be an absolute angel of a little girl. She shares with her little brother without us asking, she always says please and thank you, she has a truly genuine love and compassion for other people.
She holds my heart.
