Hello Just 2 more days until the wedding!!!!!! I still have a lot to do! I started to post yesterday but by the time I got caught up reading I was out of time! I went tues to KY to see my aunt who is going though chemo she looks good but her cancer is a lg tumor that goes all the through her lung. I wanted to see her because this may be that only time I am able to take off for the rest of the year. Please pray for my Aunt she is so speical to me and she is at peace with what ever the Lord has for her. I also would like prayer for something that happen yesterday! I live about 20 minutes from church/school I have always worked nights so I could take my kids to school and pick them up. My 9 yr old has a learning problem and she also would not do her homework and it was to much for my DH to deal with by himself and getting all the other night things done with the other kids. Last year my youngest started Kindergarten 3 days a week full day so I ask a good friend of mine Rosie to watch Molli (she has a son in Molli's class) Rosie and I are good friends and she only watched her two days a week. She also took the kids to school 3 days a week and my other friend Debbie took them them the other two days. I offered them gas money and both refused because it wasn't out of thier way to take the kids (some of my older kids have babysat many times for both of them) Last year when my DD lost her Job Debbie called me up and was real hateful and said is Kelli going to be taking the kids after all she is not working! It hurt my feeling the way she talked to me and Kelli took the kids and picked them up until school was out (she got her job right when school ended) We really struggled with what to do about school this year and I ask Rosie if she was willing to help me by taking the kids in the morning (my son picks up) She said yes what ever I needed just let her know. Well to make a longer story short Debbie and Rosie have become best buddies and Rosie yesterday just up and told me she couldn't drive my kids anymore because it was to much on her. She was busy in the mornings (she does the Mothers day program on tuesdays and helps at preschool two afternoons a week) Now she drives right by my house everyday to go to take her kids to school. And Debbie was right by her when she said it and she said I can't drive for you either I am busy! These two are the only two who live close to me that it wouldn't be out of thier way so I might have to pull my kids out of school and put them in public. I am so crushed because we were all good friends and I could understand if she was feeling overwhelmed but she should have talked to me and gave me time to find someone else. And to matters worse she now takes another friend of ours kids home and goes way out her way to do it! I am really hurt! Debbie I am not surprised she is two faced I noticed that before with others but Rosie has been my good friend for a long time. We have been on many projects together and I thought of her as one of my bestfriends. I have cried and cried all afternoon I am really heartbroken to be treated so badly by my CHRISTIAN friend! Am I wrong to feel so hurt? This is not the stress I need 3 days before the wedding. My friend at the office is going to ask around and see if someone can help me out (my DD apt is right by church and I can drop them off there in the morning so maybe someone would be willing to stop in and pick them up from there) I am sorry I carried on and on. I have each of you in my prayers. I may not get to post until after the wedding but I will let you know how it goes! (Ps I let the dress out and it fits great!)

Sami....I'm so sorry..no one can hurt you as bad as another christian friend. I guess it's because you feel they love you with a christian love & wouldn't want to hurt. There's a lot of things we don't understand, but remember, the Lord knows all about it. Pray for them.....they need it. Show them as much love as you possibly can,when you're around them. THEY are really the ones with the problem. Of course, you have a problem... but a different kind. I'll help you pray that something will be worked out. Remember...if you need to talk, we're here.

Hello to everyone...hope all is well. Going to take my first day off in 2 weeks. Things are better at the station. Thanks for your prayers.

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much lately. I have company so it's hard to get a minute to get on here. It's been a busy place here and I haven't had time to read many posts but it sounds like you are all doing well.

Sami: I'm so sorry about your friend. This is especially hard when it's a Christian friend and an adult. Sounds like really immature behaviour. I am so glad your daughter's dress problem was solved. both her and you will look lovely on Saturday. Have a blast at the wedding and try not to stress out too much.

Gary: Parenting is fun isn't it? I'm praying for you and your nephew.

Michele: Way to go on the walking. I love to walk and don't do enough of it.

Sunny: I knew you'd love Curves. I am still enjoying it too. I had my weigh in yesterday. I'm up 1.5 lbs. which didn't surprise me but I had lost 1 inch off my hips and legs so that made up for it.
Our club has 10 machines and I think there are 1 or 2 more that they can get.

Well, I better get going to work. Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Feeling kind of blue today. I have alot on my mind. My daughters ex boyfriend was in a car accident. His truck flipped over. I talked to his mom on the phone yesterday and his hand is messed up but not bad. There are no broken bones or internal injuries. Car is totaled. I am harboring alot of anger and I need to clear the air. My daughters best friend ( if you can call her that) Started calling her ex boyfriend when they were still dating. This went on for awhile. He started recipicating the calls. Laura would then get a call from this girl bragging about her phone calls with her boyfriend. I happened to drive this young lady to school. One morning in the car she started up with the bragging. I got angry and explained to her how I wouldn't treat my friend that way. That you don't get on the phone with your friends boyfriend and talk for hour and flert with him. Now the girls mom is mad at me. I have no idea what she told her mom. Also my daughters boyfriend got mad and broke up with her. Now everyone is mad at me for calling the kettle black. I told my daughter you don't go out with friends boyfriends, you don't date ex boyfriends brothers or for that matter fathers period! Its just wrong! The mothers of these kids I love dearly. I talked to two other friends about it and they think I need to talk to the parents. If I do my daughter will hate me and this girl will make her life a living **** because she is vindictive.What should I do butt out or set up a meeting with these ladies when this young man recovers?HELP what is the christan thing to do?


~sami~ I am in the same boat should we ignore and stew or confront. What would Jesus do? Jesus forgave us so we need to forgive them right! How do we make this right? My daughter has a forgiving heart why don't I? She hates confrontation. I do not want to make things worse. Should I keep out of it? I'll pray for your issues, please pray for mine.

Two more days till the wedding. It will go fine. Im glad you got the wedding dress to fit.Lots of prayers and love go out to you.

Sunny~Yes, Fairborn is in Ohio, but not sure where it is close to. I've never been there. But I have family there. Will have to look it up for you later.
