Somedays are like that

Some days it seems like I would have been better off to stay in bed and today was one of those days. This is National Scrapbook Weekend, a time I look forward to with anticipation as just time for me. Well it did not happen today. I went to the store looking forward to working on some new layouts for my sweet family but shortly after arrival those thoughts quickly began to erode away. I had been calling Bordentown all week to get titles for Will and when do they decide to call me back? Yep, you guessed it about the time class was ready to begin and they not only called once they called 6 times trying to get everything straight to get my titles out to me.
I was beginning to get frustrated at this point but little did I know it was even going to escalate. The next phone call was from one of my renters with a problem that had to be resolved. Oh the joys of being self-employed, there is no one higher to refer the problems to. This call raised my stress level even higher and I packed my supplies up and came home forgoing my day of scrapbooking. When my stress level is this high I am just better off to come home and get some of the issues taken care of. It took me until 8:30 pm to get everything resolved.

On top of that Stephanie called with some news she did not want me to hear from anyone else. I am not able to share the news right now but in the near future I will. To say I was shocked at the news was an understatement; however, I want my children to always call me with news or any time they want to talk.

Annacarmie is trying to get moved into one of my rent houses with Makenna in tow. She if not very efficient with a baby. I could go around the world with Makenna and do everything I need to do but she has yet to learn that skill, not sure she ever will.

Well, I will try again on Saturday to enjoy a day of scrapbooking. I do not have the choice of coming home today because I am teaching some of the classes. Turning my phone completely off sounds good many times but when you are self-employed that is not an option.

Annacarmie finally got most of the furniture moved with little help from anyone. Sandy had said she would give her a refrigerator and a baby bed mattress then she told her she could not have them. I do not know what the issues are there but I told Annacarmie she does not need anything from her. About 1:00 am she finished moving and on top of the fact that everything is just piled in the den with no order to it she starts a new job Saturday morning. She is a lot like me in the fact that she does not function when there is no order in her life. Not sure how she is going to deal with the disorganization until she can get everything in place. This is one of those life lessons that she will not easily forget I am sure about herself and other people, a reality check that is being driven home that you cannot depend of others even when they tell you something. Most people do not live by the principal we taught our children; your word is your bond. She has seen that on more than one occasion today. Annacarmie, does that open your eyes to the character of those people involved?

Lord show me yourself in a real and mighty way on Saturday and remind me that every word and action must reflect you in all I do and say. You not only want that type of obedience from me, you demand it. I want to be obedient, show me the way.
