Good News

September 4th, 2007 -- Posted in Family News | No Comments »

Went to the Post Office today to check my mail, and there was a letter from one of my favorite ministries…Get home and open it up….It is offering a FREE copy of one of their books!!!

Remember last week, when this same Ministry was offering a free copy of one of their devotionals??

Could not believe my good fortune, and the blessings of the Lord. So off in the mail my paper went, saying that I wanted a copy of their book “One Word From God Can Change Your Life”…Which actually in an all-in-one book of 4 of their other books….You see, they have a whole series of “One Word From God Can Change……” and they have taken 4 of those books, and put them into “Can Change Your Life”. I am really excited!!!

Thank You God, for all your goodness!!!!

Long Day

September 4th, 2007 -- Posted in Family News | No Comments »

Did some running around this morning…Finally got my headache pills picked up from the pharmacy…went to the bank, and the post office, and took my little orange kitten to the Vet.

Vet was out on a call at the moment, so left my baby there to be looked at…Vet calls me this evening and says that my kitten has a fracture  in one of his back legs…No telling how that happened, but in any case, not much to be done about it…Dr. says that it will heal in time, and so he can come home tomorrow. Told the Vet tech, or I’m assuming that’s what she is, that I was broke until Thursday…am sure she told Dr that…which he has always been really awesome about taking payments (if the bill is too big) or waiting acouple of days for payment.

Anyway, after that, we came home, and I took one of my pills and went to bed…Another day with no school…*sigh*

Friendship

September 4th, 2007 -- Posted in Family News | No Comments »

The value of friendship…what can be said about it??….I’m not a person that really has a lot of friends….In real life, well, besides my sister, I count 2 people as my real friends…my friend in California, though we hardly speak, because of so much going on in our lives…and yet, if I picked up the phone right now and called her, we would talk like it was just yesturday when we saw each other….Except maybe with a few more “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe your kids are that old” and “how’s you parents” type stuff….She has been my friend for over half my life, and it’s a very comforting feeling to me….

My other friend is my cousin Sonia, who has always been more like a sister to me. She is acouple years younger than I am, but we have always gotten along famously!!!..She is another one that I can pick up the phone, and call, whenever I’m feeling the need or want, although I try not to do that too often, because she’s in college, and has a job, and is just sooooo busy….

Other than that, well…there just isn’t a lot of people in my life that really seem to want to be friends with me…or maybe it’s something in me, that pushes them away….

There is this person at work, that I would like to think she is my friend, but I don’t know….The only time we talk is at work….although we both love talking about our kids, and we love laughing about their antics…Just tonight we were laughing because her 2 year old weighs more than my 6 year old!!! *LOL* Meg is really tiny!!!!! Someone the other day guessed Meg’s age as 3!!!!! We had a good laugh about that!!! But does this constitute friendship??? Maybe this is why I don’t have more friends, I analize it too much, not to mention I am always scared to trust anyone….Seems like just about everyone that I thought was my friend, has stabbed me in the back, in one way or another…..Makes me wary to accept friendships, because I’m always wondering when the stabbing will happen….

There was this one person that worked here acouple of months ago, I thought we were friends….She didn’t stab me in the back or anything…but she transfered to another department, and now she doesn’t even acknowledge that she knows me…..We were in the same training together acouple of weeks ago, and she didn’t even say “hi”, let alone chat with me about anything. That isn’t the first time either!! It kind of hurt!!

I seem to get along better online, but maybe because we don’t really have direct contact….Sometimes I wonder if these people knew me in real life, if they would still talk to me!!!… Would they stop by for a visit?? Would they still think that I’m nice, a good parent, funny….I don’t know….It has always bothered me to a degree, not knowing what people think about me….As much as I try not to let peoples opinions or comments bother me, if they are negative, I am always hurt deeply by them….I also wonder how much of my writing, is really true about myself….Gee, that sounded good!! Makes me sound like I lie or something…and that’s not what I was going for….Ummm……I wonder if what I write is true to myself…I read what I write, and I see myself, but what do other people see?? That’s what I mean!!

I have several people online that I think of as my friends, and I can only hope, and pray that they feel the same way!!! It is comforting to me, to know other parents, other homeschoolers, and other people that I can send a message to saying “Hey, what do you think about …..” and they ALWAYS send me a message back!!! Am I using them?? Geez, there goes that analizing again!!!….*sigh*….Such a messed up mind I have huh??..*LOL*…

I just wish that I knew someone that I could “hang out” with…You know?? Meet at the park for a play date, or go out to dinner together or something….Stop by their house for an hour of conversation, or something….I don’t know…that stuff that I consider “friend” stuff….

Okay, enough rambling, about something that probably didn’t make sense to anyone but me!!

*HUGS* to all of you, my friends!!
