And life goes on...

So here we are today....gearing in for Teka to arrive tomorrow. I have a babysitter all lined up so I can go pick her up at the airport 2 hours away at 2:00 pm.
She gets a call tonight, 'Sorry ma'am, but your flight has been cancelled'. WHAT? CANCELLED? Are you going to get me a new flight? 'Um.. no ma'am...you'll need to call United for that' So she calls United...'Sorry ma'am, you need to call US Airways about that' ..... This went on for 3 hours...yes, 3 hours. Finally they found a flight for her...leaves there at 2:30 pm, but doesn't get here until 11:30 pm...bleh! She called customer service to file a complaint and the lady in the complaints department was ruder then all the others. Here is what happened: ........ i asked to speak to a supervisor to see if i could get anything out of it.. she was so short and rude. and i was like , you know,,, if you wanted to keep a customer you think you would do something to help out . she was like yes i usually do. but your case is different i can't upgrade and im not going too.. i was so mad i hung up on her.......... This was United and US Airways. This is also not the first time they have messed things up with our flights. I will never fly with them again....PERIOD!

The beginning of life today

There are some days that you just wake up feeling overwhelmed. That is what today feels like for me. The kids are getting up earlier, which means it is harder for me to get in the word. I usually get up about 6:30 so I have 30 to 45 minutes to just sit with my cup of coffee and be with my Jesus. That hasn't happened for a few days, and I'm feeling it. My patience is running very thin with my 3 children and my grand-daughter. The whining of the 3 yr old, the constant 'No's' of the 2 yr old, the air-headedness of the 5 yr old and the know-it-all of the 7 yr old, have me almost over the edge. I wish I could say that I was this awesome mom, who sits with her children and does crafts, goes to the park, finds all these creative things for them to do....but I'm not. It takes everything in me to keep my house clean, kids fed and clothed, homeschooling done and taking care of my husbands needs.

This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
