well- hugs and prayers to all...gotta scoot!
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good morning, Annette and all. I am hoping that today is a great day for all of you special guys in my life. You all only deserve the bestest in the world.
I have been up for an hour and a half. I have been getting up with Bill in the morning and then it seems like I just stay up. I am much more a morning person than Bill is let me tell ya! He hates getting up in the morning so early. Now if he wants to go fishing there is no problem with it but when it is a different story~like going to work~he hates it. lol
I have my day of visiting this morning. We are shoving all 3 of the visits with communion into a couple of hours since I have the appointment with the wls nurse. Two of the 3 visits are members with Alzheimer's and they take longer. You jump from one thing to another and there is no reasoning. I am so glad that my life is more calmer now since Mom passed. I remember living in that, almost for a lack of better term, insanity. I am so glad that mom is now a whole person. God does bless us always. In ways that some think is not a blessing.
I have the appointment with Karen early this afternoon. It almost seems so not worth it since it is only for about 15 minutes and all the rushing around to get there. lol I do enjoy seeing her and talking with her. She so loves hearing about the wonders of our new lives. You can just see and hear her happiness for us. She is such a bubbly person and a personality to match.
Misty is quiet this morning. She got up on my lap one time this morning and that didn't last long either. She is now just quietly sitting and looking out over her back 40 acres. She really enjoys doing that. Probably because she is a cat (even though she thinks she is a princess and also God's gift to the earth!) and nothing can get past her. Now yesterday was a different story. She was the restless one of the bunch then. lol
I finally got the church evaluation finished last night. I am so glad that it done and soon out of my hair. It looks good and most of all the best thing is that it is all true. lol Pastor and I didn't have a lot of help but I guess I should be happy with the help I got! lol I brought out the best of the church and the only bad thing is that some think that the people that do the things are the only ones who can and that is not right. Some day the ones that are doing all the stuff is going to be not able to do it. I can only hope that things change this coming year. But why is it I doubt that it will? Oh well, such is life and such is life in a church too.
I guess I had better get moving. I have some things to do before getting myshower and on my way. I love each and every one of you and I am sending love and hugs to all. My prayers are going up for everyone and special ones for those in need of them. Have a wonderful and blessed day and remember that you are all loved. By God and me too.

I slept really good last night and I needed it. Went to bed at 10:30 and slept through till 5:30. The most sleep I have had in about month. I guess exhaustion will do that. I am looking forward to Carla being here on Friday, I need some distraction from the worries.
SIL has started calling me once or twice a day about the situation, It is getting a little awkward because I feel like he is trying to get us to intercede with our daughter. She asked me last night why is he calling you now? and she is correct, in the 10 years they have been together his calls were very very few. I don't want Jen to think I am encouraging him or taking his side. He also went to see our Pastor yesterday, not sure why he picked him, at first I was ok with it now not so sure. I thought SIL was seeing our Pastor for individual counseling. SIL said that our Pastor told him that SIL needs to be in the house while they work this out and that he would accompany SIL to the house to help him explain that to our daughter. SIL asked what I thought I said "No way not now" ....Jen keeps saying she needs her space, that would force her hand I think. They start their marital counseling today with her Pastor. We are trying very hard to stay neutral. They have to work this out one way or another. I know SIL wants to work it out to return home but my daughter is afraid that things will go right back to the way they were and she said ahe just can't do that anymore. There is no tension in her voice right now unless she talks about the relationship, She said she can fall asleep easily now, and seems so much happier.
Wow, I guess I really needed to vent about this, thanks for listening. Hugs, Paulette
