Been up since 6 am; did the usual~ fixed hubby's lunch for his work day, now pondering what to do next on a list of many.
~ laundry
~ meeting at church
~ a wedding in the afternoon
~ clean house - one room at a time - it's overwhelming for someone who hates housework (me!)
Looking forward to the day with all the surprises that come my way.
Church in the morning - 2 services ( I sing in both )
Been reading a blog of a friend who hasn't been in my life for about 5 or 6 years. She probably doesn't even care for the friendship that we once had. She worked briefly where I worked but she was an interesting character who has moved around a lot. A kind of gypsie I think. She is even more restless than I am. I've been curious to email her on her blog but think it would scare her to death knowing I found her. Maybe scare is not the correct word. She has a past that I think she is running from - a death of a child, bad relationships with men... the list probably goes on but I really didn't know her that well. I'm just one of the people in her past and I might stir up some feelings that she wouldn't want to experience again. So I will pray for her instead. I believe in prayer... it's such an intimate feeling one has with the Lord when you say what is truly on your heart. And you know He is listening and loving you all at the same time.
I wish my husband would find him a new job; one that he wants so badly. God help him to find it. Amen
You all have a wonderful day - one day at at time!

Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Today is April 9, 2008. A Wednesday. I love Wednesdays because it's the middle of the week known as "hump day" around here. Yes, because we can slide right through to the weekend. I wish I didn't want the week to go by so quickly. I think about how long I've been on this beautiful earth and realize it's more than half over for me.
I've mentioned before how far away my children/grandchildren are and it's sad that I cannot visit them as much as I wish I could. If it were possible I would visit each once a month - MINIMUM!! When I was a young mother I didn't really enjoy my kids as much as I now wished that I would have; maybe it's because I worked full time and was exhausted most of the time?? But of course, I wish my children were little again. And now that I have grandchildren I can't enjoy them but maybe twice a year. We web-cam with my grandsons on a regular basis - thank you Lord for this technology!
I am restless at my workplace. I like my job but boy could I use a change but who wants to hire a 50 year old these days?? Walmart or Kmart, yes. But that's not what I want. I wish I could afford to get a degree is nursing or dental hygiene. Not going to happen at this time. Would love to but need the 40hr week pay.
Everyone at my workplace is paid something different per hour. It's really quite upsetting to me and there is nothing I can do about it. One lady (we will call her Trina) makes about $21/hr. One girl (we will call her Linda) makes about $16/hr. A couple of the other newer employee ladies (has worked here less than 3 years) makes between $10 and $13. Now for the kicker. I am related to this guy and he only pays me 50 cents more on the hour than one of the newer employees. And the men of course all get about $18/hr. None of them have worked here as long as I have. Am I a good worker? You bet I am. Do I go above and beyond the call of dutie? I used to but now that I know it does not do any good so I don't. I put in my time, make him money, etc etc and go home. I am so sick of this. My husband says to go and get another job. But around here there is nothing that pays what I do get paid - I'm sorry but I need to unload here because I can't talk about it to anybody at work... Enough said.
Singing would be something I would love to make money at but I'm not a terrific singer. I can hold a tune but I'm no American Idol prospect. But it does move me. When I sing at church I really love it. I would love to sing at weddings or small venues but I don't have the backup people to do it with. Something to dream about and ask God's leading for maybe?
Well, people, enjoy your day. Give God thanks for everything that comes your way. Use your talents to glorify Him. Bye!
