Whatever.....it's all random

Well, it's been a week, so I thought that I better post something. On the good news front, Mark is doing a lot better with school. We have been sending extra prayers his way and to all his classmates. He has been happy for a week now, thank goodness. He is working hard and getting A's, we're so proud of him.

Brittany works so much. I do worry about her. She hasn't been able to nab a massage therapy position yet, but is still hopeful. She has been doing more to establish her independence from "Mom and Dad". We started charging her a nominal amount of rent, so now she lovingly refers to us as "Landlord". She is happy and cheerful though, and I love that about her.

Andrew is struggling. He isn't happy living at home and is currently looking for another arrangement. I guess it isn't pleasant to be 20 years old and living with Mom and Dad, what with the rules and all. I am hoping that he can move forward in his chosen career soon, and then I think he may learn to appreciate me; I don't know that for sure though.

Me? I am currently trying not to let the state of affairs bother me. I've worked so hard all of my life for what I have, and I'm mad because "He Who Should Not Be Named" is really doing a number on my family. I'm not really sure what I have done to deserve this.

I'm glad it's Tuesday and I can't wait til Friday because the industry that I work in is a real big bummer right now. You keep hoping the news will get better, then the government announces it has taken over the two largest mortgage giants. Oh bother.

Sorry, things are hard right now, but it's the trials that make normal so nice.

Go read your blessing, it may guide your next few days.

Well, if I thought I was at fault for all the challenges in my life. . . .
"he who should not be named" is no respector of persons. Challenges come to all of us. "he" thinks the best way to get at us is through our children. We need to prove "him" wrong. Hang in there. "he" made a wrong choice from the very beginning and probably isn't happy with "his" choice so "he" takes "his" spite out on those who made the right choice. It's not easy but it makes us a better person. Love you all.
