Happy Birthday Kathy Jo!

Today is my sister's birthday. Today I salute her. She was there for me when I needed her. When I was growing up she was there to keep my brother from tormenting me too much. I love her dearly, I wish we were closer in distance, I miss having her close. But I love her deeply!

Happy Birthday Kathy!

objects in mirror seem closer than they appear

Well, in the last thirty days I have quit two jobs. No I am not proud of that fact, it is just that FACT. I left Legacy to go to the new Inn that was starting here. I went, then left. Not a place I wanted to work with that type of leadership or direction. So I am now looking for work. Have a few choices, but they don't seem interested in me just yet. Pray something comes soon, Tim is getting abit antsy.

Cricket has moved back in. Not really fond of that, but it is what it is. I sincerely want my attitude to change. Pray that God does something in my heart toward her. Her moving back has made our friend who is living with us very jittery. She wants to move out. I don't want her to. She thinks it will be too crowded and she is in Cricket's old room, so therefore she should move out. I say no, she says yes. Don't get me wrong, I love Cricket just as much as Tim, but she is 20 years old and needs to be on her own. She tried to live with her mom, she tried to live with Tim's sister, I know she would rather be anywhere else than at our house. Her work ethic leaves lots to be desired. She has made some not so good choices that have landed her here with no car, no money and no job. I resent having to support her at 20 years old. Is this wrong????? Am I the evil step mom for feeling this way????? Probably, but I can't change the resentment, I am waiting for God to do it in me. Meanwhile, I am keeping my mouth shut so as not to tick off my husband. I don't bite my tongue well enough. Lord help me. I mean that literally, as my prayer for this night.

Michael comes home in a couple of weeks. Hwo happy that I am he will be out of the middle east.

Well, I am going to go to bed I think. I think I am tired, or maybe it is just a little depression. I will post pictures soon of our new dog, her name is Lilly. I am frustrated with her right now too. She is having a hard time adjusting to our home I guess, we KEEP having potty issues EVERY SINGLE DAY! I am tired of cleaning up after her. Oh how I hate puppies! Although she is nto a puppy, she is 10 months old.

Anywhoooo....later taters!

The End

Today is my last day here at Legacy. My office is cleaned out, my desk is empty and my computer scrubbed clean of my personal files. It is good. Don't get me wrong, I loved working here, loved the people that have come and gone, done a lot of growing personally, spiritually and professionally. I wouldn't trade the time I have had here for anything.

Now I am on to something new, something that excites me! It is good to feel excitement about the work that you do.

Later
