Need to vent

OK, so I know I promised something spiritual and it will come, but right now I just need to vent.

  • My morning started with an issue at school, one that I was trying to handle the right way, address an issue with "have I done something to upset you because i can tell you are obviously upset with me"....didn't go so well. I don't like conflict but even more than conflict I hate unresolved conflict and there is nothing more I can do to resolve this issue.
  • Parent brought in blue cupcakes for her sons birthday. Since they couldn't get the gloves on I offer to pass out cupcakes, only to pick up the container, see if falling and catch it with my body...I could have passed for a smurf.
  • Picked up kids after school, took Caleb to get cleats because the ones he has are 2 sizes to small....when do they stop growing. Growing is really expensive.
  • Had to debate and discuss color of cleats - red matched baseball, blue would match football, except for the ASU football camp he would attend this summer and then black would look better. He opted for red - immediate gratification.
  • Johnny was still at project site, so I needed to stall...we went to Belk's to get Easter outfits...not very impressed but at least done.
  • Took Caleb to Johnny, headed home (now almost 5), walked in the door to smell the BBQ pork burning in the crock pot, added some more sauce & water, let the dog out, sat down at the computer to read email....only to see Don't forget your evaluation appointment for Kennedy at 5:30 today...looked at clock - 5:31!
  • Call GAFA, call mom, send Courtney to mom's, put Kennedy back in the car, speed to GAFA, meet and discuss next year. That was really hard because a part of me still feels obligated/committed to company but a bigger part of me says this is not where God has us right now...committing to 2 days a week all summer is more than I think I'm ready for. I feel like it's God making our decision easier, but also want to make sure it's not my flesh being selfish...we'll see how it all pans out.

Now I'm home, glad the day is over, and wish I could remember all the great spiritual points the Lord and I discussed on the way to work this morning. I'm sure they will come back once my brain can slow down.

I hope the BBQ came out okay!

sounds pretty spiritual to me--since all of life is sacred
