A sigh and an Amen

It seems nowadays that the only time I write is when I'm incredibly stressed out or something is going wrong. Well, Yes, I have a few things that need fixing. Before this very last straw I was overwhelmed with the work at school having my first classes, helping my son with homework, work etc. But yesterday, I had steam coming out of my ears when the after-school coordinator sent a note that I no longer had a spot since I did not make my payment on time.

Now, prior conversations with the principal had pointed out that there was a new system of after care since there were not enough spots and that we would receive information moving foward. The information that I got was that the 'informational' meeting was today but my son was kicked out yesterday for non-payment? Where do these people come from? I usually comb my son's folder of information as soon as he gets home from school. I did not have a single sheet of paper pointing out the fact that payment was due or what new system was in place but 'sorry, you have been put on the waiting list' is the response I'm getting from the school administration.
This is a load of crap and I'm pissed to the max. I'm so pissed I'm barely functional until I get this resolved.

Even my school work momentarily paled in comparison to this very minute yet important issue in my life.

I'm soo pissed because I know how unreasonable the principal can get, I dealt with this in an earlier post.

I'm trying to calm down and figure out what the best remedy is. Even in my anger, I have been praying, because some things can only be resolved by prayer and I'm so devoid of strength and mental energy right now that I need GOD to fight this one for me. Please Lord Jesus, I'm praying for a miracle for this seemingly small thing. I'm asking that as I speak to the principal, you will have already fought this one out for me today. Help me to be patient and rely on you for strength for today and tomorrow. Amen

this headache

I have a headache and it's telling of what my life feels like right now. I'm overwhelmed by many decisions I have had to make recently and in just the past 24 hrs, I've gone from being a confident single mother to feeling like a failure and lacking a sense of direction. I can't even write, I will go to bed.
"You don't have to worry and don't you be afraid, joy comes in the morning, troubles may not last always, for there is a friend in Jesus, who will wipe your tears away and if your heart is broken, just lift your hands and say...I know that I can make it, with him I know I can stand, no matter what may come my way, my life is in his hands" Thank God for songs that make sense.

Six is for Smart

We were driving from Target yesterday and my lil man kept whining about something being "badder and badder". We were both hungry and I knew we needed to get home and eat soon which would be the only way to squash the whine. I finally spoke and said " Honey, there is no such word as "badder" usually we say "worse" if something is getting "more bad". Didn't know how else to explain it. I wasn't prepared for this " Mommy you are not accepting that I speak different. I say badder and you need to accept the difference". Whaaaat! I just started laughing and he went on "Stop laughing Mommy, you need to be nice when people do things different and I speak different, I say badder". LOL. I wasn't gonna win this battle, but he got 10 points for standing up for himself. We'll tackle the english grammar at a later date. That made my day just thinking about it. That smart 6 yr old!
