Housekeeping 101

-
Well....I finally have time to sit down and post for once. On Monday I started a job as a housekeeper for the Carlisle Inn in Walnut Creek. As of today, Friday...I am no longer a housekeeper at the Carlisle Inn in Walnut Creek. In all the jobs I have ever had...I have never been a quitter...ever...! I feel so bad too because Yvonne Sutton put in a good word for me to get the job...I should've have known better though. Me and housekeeping don't mix. I did fine until the second day when I started to clean bathrooms. There I was......in a fog of industrial cleaning fluid and the worst headache of all time started to come on... I don't know whether it's my diabetes that made the headache worse.....but me and that cleaner just didn't mix. They told me that some people just don't make it because of the cleaners...they're just too strong. Man...I feel so bad because the people there were so nice! I'm going to keep looking for a job though....something that's maybe more on the creative side...or something at a desk. Or maybe I should listen to my other post and just start George's book..........................hmmmmmmmmmm.....

In better news...George got a job with a high-end painting company out of Green! He'll be employed by them so we'll have no more headaches being self-employed! Thank you God! for the job, and for no more headaches! He starts this Monday for them, and they paint all over, and in the surrounding states. They have a contract to paint alot of Wal-Marts! I'm so thankful we found this job for him. It's a prayer answered....And God...you know what I'm talking about! It's definitely been God and us all winter...he's never left our side...even though we felt like a tiny raft out in a stormy sea. I think I can feel the warmth of spring on my back.....everything feels lighter! yea!

Well, I'd better get my butt in gear. I have to run to Wal-Mart for some hair color....those grays seem to to be multiplying by the dozens. I'm pumped for the Hiland game tonight....I feel it.....we're one game away from STATE baby!

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grace in the madness of mothering

-
The Bargain Hunter , where my column appears, is undergoing website changes. For now, my columns will be posted here:  There’s grace somewhere in the octaves between high-pitched and emergency, where I could hear the timbre of my voice and know that I was one step away from madness. This chaos lies in the line of crooked bangs cut with a dull hair scissors, no longer able to brush them away from the brown eyes of a child you love with such fierceness and agony. She would look at me, taunting, hugging me before she ran from me to do the things that would make my throat quiver. She would get up from her bed twenty-nine times in an evening, her Aladdin nightgown swinging as she descended from the stairs, and nothing I did would make her stay. There’s grace allowed somewhere in that madness. I remember rocking my baby in a rocker that several of our family had bought us for our wedding. The curves of it embraced us, and the nursery was warm with forced air from the furnace. I

We are Ghosts

-
"We are ghosts to you. We don't exist until you want our sympathy or help. You don't think your vote will really count, because you want to see what "happens." It's a vote against us and you don't see that. It's a vote against me. We are ghosts until you want us, but we were never there if you didn't see us until it counted." - quoted by someone I love, 9/24 I am lost.  Awash. Drifting in a sea of distractions. Fraught and edgy. Simple and deep. My thoughts betray me and I cannot sleep. We the people. No longer are we the people we say we are.  We are washed in the blood of Jesus and drowning in our own hypocrisy. We cry out for the blood to flow from the bodies of our brothers and sisters in lands far away - those who cry for our help - as well as turn a blind eye to the ones dying in our streets at alarming levels, shouting, "He should have listened."  We cry "Save the babies!" while we kill those in priso
