I'm back!!  Although only half-heartedly ......

Sometimes I feel like there is so much sadness in this world, that it should just pour rain for weeks and weeks, like somehow the earth needs to cry too.  I know, weird thought and if you analyze it too much, it just sound crazy. 

Talked with a friend tonight and am really struggling with how to help.  I totally understand how she feels, but have no good thoughts of how to help.  My heart aches because I'm where she is and I can understand exactly what she's saying, in fact, half the time I know what she's going to say because I think the same of my health.  I can only hope that by understanding that helps somehow.  And keep trying to think of something to brighten her day!!

On another note -- I'm going to have to quit procrastinating and see some sort of Dr. about my arm.  Sabbath I could hardly lift it without using my other arm to lift it.  I'm just afraid that it's going to be something major and I just can't afford to take the time off.  So until I can't use it, I'm living with it.

Busy week ahead, changes here on campus, I'm painting a house on campus, trying to get it ready for our new cafe person. And then it's going to be time for school!!  Next week we're off to Nashville for teacher's meetings.  I can't wait, I get to hang out with one of those timeless friends.  You know, one of those that it doesn't matter how long it's been since you've seen each other or talked to each other -- it's just awesome!!

And then school starts -- which is a good thing.  My biggest wish is that once school starts I can spend lots of time focusing on these silly puppies and get them house-trained.  Right now they are living in my kitchen and dining room and that's just getting old.  Would like for them to be able to spend more time with the family.  They need the extra space and attention.  But it seems like right now, the girls are undoing everything they have begun to learn. So maybe if they are in school, the dogs can learn and then we can teach the girls!!

Plus, hopefully it will at least get some of the fighting out of my house.  I would love to know the secret to raising sisters that get along.  Now, I know, there are some that say, "I fought terribly with my sister and now we're best friends"  Well, I DON'T want to wait that LONG!!  There has to be  a way.  My two are driving me crazy, it's pick, pick, fight, pick, fight all day long.

On a brighter note -- I still haven't found my camera charger, but was able to use Kevin's phone to take a few pictures and send to my email -- here's my latest creations!!
