Yet another day spent spinning my wheels, losing ground, working uphill, in general just being me.
Arriving at the fifth grade graduation shindig, I see 5 deputies. Uh-oh, I hope it isn't about us, my paranoia and/or PTSD kicking into high gear. I try to pass by unobtrusively, only to have one of the men catch my eye and nod me on. Something about a custody dispute that sure eliminates me from any fray. Who'd fight me for these kids?
Paloma pointed out my shirt was on inside out. Great. I'd already been with administrators from the other school and hugged a bunch of folks at this school. Sometimes I just feel fortunate to have found a shirt to put on.
Well, I noticed Cindy," another principal later told me. "I've just learned to not say much about how folks are dressed."
OK, just let me make a fool out of myself.
Or does that go without saying?

Thanks for the Laugh. Kids are soooo Honest sometimes. At least you were totally clothed and in attendence. I actually told a fazzled friend that her sweater was inside out and she is the one that said "at least I have a shirt on".
Recently, my Favorite 4yr old had words of wisdom for me...Get this--I am standing outside of the psych ward with him and his infant bro. while my friend/minister wife is in ministering. We are in the hall next to the elevators...No where to sit and nothing to do. So Jan is her wisdom pulls out the pen and paper. Drawing is fun. I start drawing me, who is at least 2 of you( I should be Big Mama) I was already making me larger than your normal stick people I thought he would draw... Then he pipes up and says..."you have to draw your BIG FAT STOMACH". So I smile and put ( )'s on my tummy and then he is like now you have to color it. Like Magic...all that fat disappeared. YAY!! I gave him the pen and he draws himself -stick boy + underwear(I drew)+ jeans + shirts. Then he draws bro + diaper + outfit. I have known this child all his life and knew that one day he would realize that Jan was Megasized. We are still friends. He
+ his Siblings are my PRE GRANDS. He's my Sport-- a different name for Buddy because he is only his Grandaddy's Buddy.
Have a wonderful Memorial day weekend.
Please pray for Olivia- the girl I have mentioned before. She is in the hosp. for g-tube, diet changes, and having complications. She is have 2 procedures today. She is now 15 months old. I had sent a picture sometime last year. She is blind with many neurological problems that affect her body organs and healing. Pray God gives the DRs wisdom. Strength-Peace for the Parents.
Thanks so much for what you do Cindy!!!
JAN GA
I went through half a day recently with my shirt buttoned wrong. Aaargh... We are too busy, girl. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Sometimes I have to say this over and over to myself during the day: God's plan is exactly what we would want for ourselves IF we knew all the facts..
Hey, I am just wondering how your friend Paula is doing? her blog disappeared as far as I can tell and I have been praying for her, wondering about an update? Is there a link to a new blog at all? I am worried about her.
aaghhhh Dee I was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I'm leaving in one week to bring home a 3 yr old. Someone please let me in on the plan cause it doesn't look too rosy from this vantage point!
Jan - Pre Grands? There's a new one for me and yes I'll pray for Olivia.
Dee - I'm going to start quoting that to myself. I like it. And thanks for the recipe link also. I'm just about tired of my own cooking.
Paula is doing well and she welcomes emails.
