A Cloud

My mom sent this to me tonight.....I just have to try and believe that all these bad things that keep happening to me is all in God's big plan. That's hard to do some days...especially when I feel like I have a black cloud hanging over my head.

Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did
God do this to me?' Here is a wonderful explanation!
; A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong.
She's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best
friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she
would like a snack, and the daughter says, 'Absolutely Mom, I love
your cake'.
'Here, have some cooking oil,' her Mother offers. 'Yuck' says her
daughter.
'How about a couple of raw eggs?' 'Gross, Mom!'
'Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?' 'Mom, those
are all yucky!'
To which the mother replies: 'Yes, all those things seem bad by
themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they
make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go
through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He
puts these things in His order, they always work for good! We just
have to trust Him and, eventually, they will make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a
sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in
the universe, and He chose your heart.

Goodbye Charlie!

We are so saddened by the loss of our baby Charlie. There was an unfortunate accident on Monday night and he is no longer alive.

He will always be in our hearts.

Changes

I can't believe it's been so long since I have posted...well....actually I can believe. I have always had a hard time making changes in my life...I do ok for awhile but then I just slack off. I have quite a few things I am trying to change/adjust right now in my life/in our home. We are all still adjusting to my work schedule which in understandable but surprising to me that I am having such a hard time. I used to work at home but went to school for 6 years so it's not like me leaving the house is new. In fact, I am gone less now than when I was going to school....and I am getting paid so one would think it would be easier this time around. I just realized last night that I am working for the next 4 evenings...which means I won't get to have dinner with my kids for the next 4 evenings, won't get to tuck them in before bed etc. I really don't like working more than 2 evenings in a row let alone 4! 2 more weeks of orientation and then I will have more control over my schedule.

I will try to make an effort to post more (after the next 4 days...LOL)
