Adversity

I am kind of down because the kids go back to school in a week and I am not ready for winter. I usually like all of the seasons but this year fall and winter are sneaking up on me. We have done a lot around the outside of our home. It has been an exciting summer. Our BIG project is coming over LABOR DAY (hint/hint) . We are putting in an old fashion, brick retaining wall...I am very excited because I will get to landscape up top and we are also putting in a stepping tone sidewalk...yeah!

Poor Kyle, between my brother and Joyce (girlfriend) I don't know which one catches the most grief from me. Kyle always seems to be in tune when I just need to unload and he never says anything. I am just not up for people that CANNOT handle responsiblity. I know that the first question I will ask God is why we didn't have more children when we always seem to have everyone else's and some people have children that don't give a damn about them. I have learned over the years that we make our own happiness and so no one is responisble for our happiness but ourselves and they are so many ways to make US happy that you just have to go for it and DO IT! Kyle and Joyce do seem to talk to me when I am on the edge of having a pity party but it doesn't happen I come out the outer darkness real quick. I also do not understand SELFISH people but you guys have all heard about that alot.

I have not been going to violin because of obligations to play the piano for several church meetings and I didn't do so hot at that...wrong song awrong key wrong page...but don't worry about it ---right!



for big NEWS...I had a couple of women hit on me this past week...one at 7 am and she told me that I had a nice waistline---which I haven't seen since I was 16...then went on to say that I was a very sensual and exrotic looking woman and she would like that to look like me...isn't that a scary thought. Then Joyce and I went to dinner at the Mexican Restarant and this lady kept looking around and the next thing I know Joyce and Maggie go to pay the bill and she taps me on the elbow and tells me that I am very BEAUTIFUL woman and Well PUT TOGETHER--what does that mean... Then I get home and Ronnie Yard calls and asks me to speak on adversity---what the heck. I did call and ask Cathy Clark if she saw anything in my arura...she just laughs at me.

I am going to learn how to say no because I am sick of wanting to do something and making plans and cancelling them because someone needs something and never follows through...all I can truly say is that people need to take responibility for their own actions, webs and happiness because there is no one who will come along and give you a break in this life...but yourself.
