Good evening all! Well I am busy packing away for the kids and my trip to California tomorrow, but I thought I would stop in, blog, and get back to packin!
There was lots to get done today and for the most part we did it. The kids are just SO tired of shopping with mommy for the house and having mommy on the phone to fix the most current housing crisis lol. I had them running up and down a shopping center at one point today just to get them OUT and doing something.
Today some of my happiest moments were spending time with my dog. I love my Ginger! She is so sweet and NEEDY sometimes but that is ok. She gives me unconditional love just like Daisy did. She loves to sit and be pet and show how happy she is by barking and wagging her tail. There are fewer joys in this life than playing with a puppy....even a BIG puppy!
I made brownies for David tonight so he has some chocolaty goodness to enjoy while we are gone. I hope he has a nice time with the dog and kitties...I am going to miss them! AND David of course!
I heard a man talking on the phone with his son today at the restaurant where we ate lunch. It was heart breaking. The man just kept saying over and over "well son I just want you to know that we love you and your family but you need to respect you mother as a MOM." He was obviously having "in-law" issues with his daughter in law and he talked about how his wife was confused and she didn't know what she did wrong and how he hopes that his little grandchildren won't be taught to hate him and his wife. But at the end of the conversation, with all the conviction of that man's heart he said to his son, "Son we LOVE you, do you hear me? Do you understand what I am saying? I pray for you guys every night and we LOVE you, I know you are mad, but please, please hear that." Well if that doesn't just make you well up with tears! It broke my heart. I don't like saying things to people after listening in on their conversations...it really makes you look like a crazy person lol (and if you have never listened in on someone's conversation.....well, not sure what to say, I do it all of the time because I am interested in human behavior). But this time I felt every string in my heart pulled and my mouth just sort of opened and said "Sir!" He turned and pointed and mouthed, "are you pointing to me?" He walked over and I told him I just wanted him to know that I heard part of his conversation and that I will be praying for him and his family to find peace and that I have BEEN where he is and even thought it took a good long while, things came around and my children LOVE their grandparents. Oh how I hope it is the same for that man in his life. So I don't know that this is any happy moment, but sometimes in life you feel compelled to help someone out, and I want to remember this so I am writing it down.
Well, I am getting on an airplane with two kiddos tomorrow. PLEASE pray for our safety. I hate flying...I usually take happy pills to help me fly, but with two kids I am probably not going to be able to do that so just pray we have a nice smooth flight eh? Have a great night all and many many more happy moments to come in California!
