This week

This was an interesting week to say the least. I worked very hard Mon. and Tues and then was home on Wed. I thought it would be a good day, get up spend a few hours with the kids and then send the girls off and relax. I must have been crazy, it couldnt have been further away from the truth. Wed. turned into a big giant fiasco. First I had a big communication mishap with dingle dorf, and then when things finally calmed down from that I spent the rest of the day on the computer. Thurs. I spent the day trying to be flexible at work, and repeated that again Fri. I have been trying to work on not taking ownership of everything and everyone. It is something I really struggle with because I try to solve everything and somethings just shouldnt be solved. I have been very frustrated at work, our numbers are down and we are just not getting the volumns that we anticipated. That interprets out to not getting the hours that I need. It has really created a tremendous amount of stress. I think that balances out again to the fact Linna is being taught an old lesson AGAIN......... I must really have a thick skull. I need to rely on my heavenly father because Fri. I pulled all my xmas money out to pay bills. I was heart broken because I dont know if I will be able to replace it and I cant just skimp on xmas. Anyway, I put the rest in his hands and sure enough, sat. morning I had the opportunity to work. I truly was a blessing. I was on my last straw and I didnt know how else it was going to turn out. What a marvelous thing.
Stephen has been a absolute saving grace. He is always so good to try to help. He really sucked up this weekend. I know he was hoping to get in a lot of friend time and that totally didn't happen. He had such a great attitude about it. He was very good to help out every day and was very positive about being alone, even when I know he didnt want to be. I sure appreciate his goodness.
I havent seen the girls since Wed. morning. I hope they had a good time. I have missed them, and always do when they are gone. It will be good to have them back.
I have spent a fair amount of time reflecting on my friends this week. I have so many wonderful people that I consider friends. What a wonderful support system I have. To know that so many truly magnificent people are there to comfort, laugh, cry, love, support, share my burdens, relieve my stress, buy me hamburgers, bring me treats, is a blessing. I appreciate you so much. The ways that you inspire me to be better......... Thankyou so much.

I have been thinking about you. Your mom told me a little of what you've been dealing with. I love that you had a little miracle this weekend and were able to work another shift. This past year has taught me that Heavenly Father always, always keeps His end of the deal. He may let us get to the very edge, but if we trust Him, He will not let us fall. Hang in there. You are amazing and so strong, and I admire you so much!
