HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!!!!!!!   

One week down, how many more to go?  That is the million dollar question!  And I remain focused and doing the best I can. Tho something did happen today that was so blatantly ridiculous I looked at Donna and said,  “And THIS is why I want out of here so bad!”  We both sighed!  I missed Elizabeth, if she was there, she’d be making light of it, in a caddy sort of way.

The week is up, it is Friday, and Soul Mate STILL isn’t back!  Panic! Yes!! I gave myself till Friday!!! Actually, no.  I’m not.  Where did I learn along the way that if it is meant to be, we will continue to find one another?  What I do miss is seeing his “number” here.  Darn it baby!  Please come back!!! *laughs*  Baby???????????  And what would he think of that?!  He just doesn’t know what he’s missing, huh? 

Skylar is here tonight.  First time in almost 3 weeks I have spent quality time with her.  OMG!!! She has blossomed and grown and changed SO much! Yes, in 3 weeks!!!  She is as good as gold tonight.  We went to get pizza at one of those pizza palace places designed for kids.  You get tokens and the kids ride the rides, and play games and get tickets.  Poor Skylar.  Not quite old enough to win tickets on her own so mah maw took a few tokens and won enough playing fuzz ball?  Sort of like bowling, only you don’t knock pins down, your ball jumps and goes into different holes being worth so many points.  Anyway, I won enough for her to get lip gloss.  Now THAT made this child happy!  Guess I know what to stuff her stocking with this year!  When we came home we went 4-wheeling.  She loved it and continues to be a little dare devil putting her hands in the air as if on some roller coaster.  “Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!”  She’d yell.  How this child melts my heart! Can’t believe she will be 2 this month!  My miracle child!  And of course, Drew and Bree can’t be forgotten either.

Elizabeth is so funny. She had text messaged me sometime earlier than this afternoon, when I got it.  “How does Sunday afternoon look?”  She asked.  I got it at work and was SO excited!  I even told Donna,  “Elizabeth is coming on Sunday!”  I didn’t respond because I was at work.  When I came home I talked to Leo for a long time. When I hung up I got beeped,  “1 message received.”  I looked at it,  “Did u get my email or r u avoiding me?”  Ha ha!!!!!  I called and left her a voice mail,  she called and left me a voice mail………phone tag was on!  We finally caught one another.  She is coming Sunday.  I am SO excited!!!!!!  She’ll be here a few days.  Says she is going to swim in my pool while I’m slaving away at work!  Rub it in!!!!  She tells me her dad, who is in real estate, just sold a property so similar to mine.  “Your’s will sell!”  She tells me.  And I think of the house in the city I so desperately want, and Kitty Hawk and all these things I see for the future and I grow impatient or worst, in fear that this house won’t be available or I will grow too old to ever finish “On The Journey of Faith.”  I need to get out of the mindset of fear.  There is a plan!

One of the teachers I work with came into me today.  Ostracized by some very vicious people within her department, she felt very sad. I love this person.  She is a Pisces like me and we are both very sensitive.  It’s the same “group” that the lady who gave me such a hassle the other day runs with.  We talked about love and light and darkness.  These people are so dark.  We tried to find positive, which I think in the end, we did.  Why do people have to be so cruel and intimidating?  Why treat others cruelly?  Especially those that are full of light?  I told her I’d be her friend.  And that there were a lot more besides me.  Still, it hurts.  I just don’t get it.  *shakes head*

Leo and I had our marathon conversation tonight until Skylar got here.  Ahhhh, but we solved the world’s problems just by reminding ourselves of what true love is and isn’t.  So very cool!

Never did find the key to the Lincoln.  Called locksmiths and the dealer today.  All in all, it is going to cost me about $200 to get this repaired, UNLESS, a really old friend of mine that has a Christian locksmith shop can help. He was out on vacation today. I will wait for him to come back on Monday. I sense he is the one I am to call.  Problem is the Lincoln is in the garage,  a wrecker can’t back up to the Lincoln and take it out from behind.  Because the key has an electronic code, the Lincoln has to go to the dealer for them to reprogram the key.  My friend has a traveling locksmith business.  *fingers crossed* Hope he can help!

Tomorrow, I am taking Pete and Lilly to Camp.  Yes, the kennel again!  If we would have camped as was planned, they were to go.  Now it is to doggie camp instead! They don’t like camp.  *frowns*  BUT, we have to drive to Chad’s parents which is about a 3-hour drive from here to attend his brother’s reception.  Since we couldn’t camp, we plan to get a hotel.  I will pick them up on Sunday tho.  They can stand one night!  Then Skylar and I will swim for awhile and probably get breakfast, and spend time together.  Then the 3-hour drive.  The weekend will fly, only to find Monday here and THE busiest week of the year.  *sad*  BUT, Elizabeth will be here!!  Somehow that makes it okay!

Think I’ll close now.  Not a real inspirational journal tonight.  *sighs*   I’m not down, I’m not overly up,  just tired.  I have made it through and for that, I am so very grateful.

As the faith, love, and light lead me on.

Goodnight,

Sunshine

Goodnight Soul Mate:  And when you return I will be on cloud 10!  I will run to you in my mind and give you a great big hug!  Knocking you over, falling to the ground and laughing!  Yes, like the dogs do when I get home from work!!! That’s WHEN you return!  Life goes on and I wait.  So patiently I wait to truly understand you, and me, and everything this is and isn’t and will be.  I miss you, just so you know.  I send you love and light…….my faith still shining brightly, just because I am so blessed of God.  Goodnight,  Love, Sunshine
