I stopped as many times as I could on my ride home and let other cars get in lines to drive away in front of me. Driver behind was peeved but meh... who cares
I picked pie cherries and made a cobbler, chatted with my son's piano teacher(one of my favorite people), went to my friend's house to see her day old puppies..so cute!, jogged around the track for exercise with my 5 kids in tow, they found a kitten there and we found it's owner - which made us all feel good inside. My son's B-day is today and I'm so grateful he was born 10 years ago. Thought I had lost my cell phone, but it turned out it was in my husband's truck all day.
This is a good thread to have revived. I posted a time when we had about $4000 a month more coming in than we do now. Our bills are late, rent is late, but heck we have food and the rent IS paid. It can always be worse. Funny how things change in a years time.
Did I mention I refrained from murdering a rude woman with a million face piercings today. Pat me on my back.
I have to tell about 2 good days! Yesterday the son of a lady I took care of for 10 years called to say he found a bag of jewelry of his Moms with my name on it. He brought it out and had several old lovely pieces in it. Had a nice visit. She passed 7 years ago! Brought back a lot of good memories of her..Today I went back to work after a few days off. I work as a Labor Tech ( helping to deliver babies @ a local hospital). There was a card with my name on it from a patient telling me how much I helped them during their stay. I was moved they took the time to do that. We had 105 babies delivered last month. Glad I made a difference in their lives during a very busy time. A GREAT WEEK so far!
Tell you something GOOD that happened to me today? Okay---- have you heard the old folks expression "The day you wake up not hurting anywhere, means you died in the night"------well, today I woke up feeling very alive!
Well..it started out pretty crappy, I must say. I had a meeting with my wretched boss that lasted 3.5 hours wherein she lied about her behavior and I tried to get the blind to see. I did get to say things I've been meaning to say for the last three years, took away her leverage and got her to agree to try something totally new to increase employee moral.
Then I had lunch with the one of my good sons, whom I love deeply and am growing more to know, respect and admire with each passing day. He is an inspiration and a blessing to me and I thank God for him each and every day. He made me feel better about things, waited throughout that entire meeting (we were supposed to do breakfast!) for me and didn't complain, and spent time with me that he could have been spending with his fiance.
Then I heard my dad had been accepted into a nursing home 4 miles from me that we had been wanting to get him into for the past 2 years! I'm so happy for him and my mother and now I can look after him better. He is quickly forgetting who I am, so time is precious.
All in all the day went from ick to YAY!~I'm exhausted and happy! Love my Lord and my great son!
My daughter's father called me today. I haven't spoken to him for a long time. It wasn't much but its a start. I want us to be on good terms for my daughters sake. Im working at it hard but haven't had much success. Maybe today opened a door and we can build a polite and civil relationship for her sake. I have hope

Your GOOD son? I think I need to know what is meant by that. I am the bad daughter.... Though I have been clean from drugs for more than 30 years, I am still the bad daughter.
When my car broke down in the middle of the road, my neighbor just HAPPENED to drive up behind me and help me push her to the gas station.
I'd have been sitting there for a while if not for him!
