Where Are You Spring?!!

People come into our lives and then leave us way too soon, it seems. I thought I had finally gotten to a point where I could except my maw-maw's death. I guess I was wrong. The whole thing was just too tragic. There was a gass leak in her house and it exploded. It happened almost two years ago. It still seems like yesterday. I was finally dealing with it pretty well, I thought. Easter was so incredibily hard for me. Easter was my favorite holiday at Maw-maw's. I come from a really big family and every Easter we would go over to Maw-maw's for the day. All of the adults would go out in the front yard after lunch and hide eggs for us kids. I haden't hunted eggs in years but I loved sitting on that big front porch and watching all the other kids, a new one or two added every year or so. I can still hear their laughter and all the excitement that came with finding an Easter egg. I love Spring. It don't seem to be coming fast enough for me this year. We've had a couple of really nice days lately, but now it's gotten cold again. It was cold Easter Sunday. I hated it. My family spends Easter Sunday at the church where my grandparents attended, in the fellowship hall. I hate it. We go there for Thanksgiving too. That don't bother me so much. Well, I have to cut this short, I have the kids today and they need me right now.

It's been a long time

Well dear readers, it has been a long time since my last post. There's so much going on right now in my head, not sure just how to express it all.

I guess I've gotten used to everyone always coming to me for advice. I like helping people figure things, I like fixin things, makeing everything better. That being said, I've found myself in the middle of a mess I can't fix or make better, I'm afraid. To be honest my heart is broken tonight. There's this little girl, we'll call her "Stella", she's one of my youth kids. I'm a youth leader in my church. I don't know if I have mentioned that. Well, in my years as a leader/teacher, I have come across quite a few kids with all kinds of needs. I'm useually ready and willing to help in whatever way I can. Stella's problems are quite different from the normal ones that are brought to my attention, though. I just want so desperately to help this poor child.

Anyway, I guess I just needed to get this out. Thanks for listening. I'll post more soon. Please pray for this little girl.

Falling Apart

Well folks, I thought it was 40 when everything started falling apart, but apparently it's 33. My acid reflux has been giving me hell for the past three days. It feels like I've swallowed a fire ball. I've got carpel tunnel in both hands. For the past couple of days, it has felt like some one has been beating my left hand with a hammer. I have had sharp pains in my stomach for about a week now. Old age sucks!!
I'm still excited and can't wait for Thanksgiving though. I gotta cook tomorrow(I'm also babysitting tomorrow, so that should be fun).
Well, if I'm still alive in the next couple of days, I will probably post again.

Until then...

Hello All

Hello all, I've been wanting to set up a place where I can interact with my friends a little better, Share a little of lif's lessons I may have learned along the way and just express whatever I'm feeling.
Life has been pretty stressful lately. I take care of my sister's three kids (I fear one day soon they'll have to take care of me). Their ages are six, two, and six months old. There's never a dull moment around here, that's for sure.
Well, I'm off to try and make the most of this rare day off.

Thanks for listening
