Life is so full of ups and downs. I love my job right now. Someone told me today, I should get a 'REAL' job. Just because I don't make a lot of money. How stupid. Aren't you suppose to like what you do? I say, at least I have a job. I don't sit around and do nothing. I enjoy the kids at the child center. I feel, I am molding children for the future. Isn't that a good thing?
This week one of the kids fell off the monkey bars and cut his forehead. :( He got two staples. Poor baby. I hate seeing a child cry. I hate seeing a child hurt.
This week we also outlined each child's hand (all 21 of them) for a lesson on what hands are for... Some funny answers. Hands are for digging up stuff, hands are for praying, clapping, petting my dog, playing drums, holding the reigns of my horse, hugging, clapping, waving, blowing kisses, washing, playing in sand, brushing my teeth, holding my dolls, eating, picking up my toys, and my favorite, holding Grammy. So innocent. so precious.
Today I helped out at a child fair. Our center made Gak(SP) for any child that came by. So cool. Elmer's glue, Borax, water and food color. The kids loved it. Gak is slimmy, and bouncy, and squishy. Fun stuff.
My prayer list is long right now. I try to be humble in my prayers. I don't want to seem greedy to God. I thank Him for all He does for me..Then I ask him to heal and bless my friends and family...On my list right now, all my family, Mitch, Bob for safety at the power plant and to love me, Tommy H. to be healed from a 35 foot fall, A woman named Sharon who has cancer for the umteenth time, my niece Katie to stay on her meds and kick this yucky stuff, for my sister Barb, for strength to deal with everything, my Mother-in-law's son, Glen, to live long enough to get a double lung transplant, Missy my friend, to get healed from back surgery, another niece, Heidi to get pregnant, the guy at the gun shop's daughter to be healed of post pardum depression, Jim, to pass kidney stones, OUCH, and for Molly, Mike, and Brock to be healthy, happy and safe. God is Good and faithful. We can only live one day at a time. Can't change things that are going to happen. I just pray. I am worried about my marriage right now. Bob is strong-willed, stubborn, and a dreamer. I am realistic, and want things to go in order. I am not saying more than that. I just pray, and pray.
It's April Fools day today. I can't even be funny. I just cuddle my puppy, and my old greyhound and dream of good things to come... Peace be with you all :)

Hey, Gail,
You DO have a real job and I am proud of you for it. Sometimes people are just nerds when it comes to making off hand comments, me included. Forgive me for any of the ones I may have ever said to you.
Acouple ot your prayers I kow are being answered. I feel pretty strong right now and Katie is coming along. Baby steps but positive ones. The current meds are good at keeping her on an even keel and still slert and engaged.

Love you and miss you, Barb
