Upset

It's one thing if family members wish to regard Kim and Jenny as the odd ones in the family...but it's another when that regard for our family may come tumbling out in the words and actions of your children.

It is sad thing for a mother to happen upon children belittling her child...again.

Sisters J and N...thank you for being there yesterday when I spoke to you. You were supportive and very gracious. I am grateful.

Snore

I should be able to fall asleep. I spent my day jogging, pulling weeds, planting flowers, taking care of children...spending time with young women from church...visiting HIS relatives and gathering things for my yard sale this weekend. I'm physically worn out. I should be able to fall fast asleep.

1 am.

My husband's snore irritates me. I lie in my bed listening to the garbled sounds emanating from his side of the bed. He fills the room with the awful noise. I have tried my best to gently nudge his pillow to stop the sound. (Although a fleeting thought did run through my head about placing the pillow somewhere else!). I even tapped him lightly on the shoulder encouraging him to move.

But still, the noise! ARRRGGHHH.

So, I lie in my bed thinking about how unfair this situation is. I do the majority of the physical labor at home and I'm bone tired and getting angrier as I think about the injustice. I feel my blood begin to boil and steam come rolling out my ears. I finally yell into the darkness. ROLL OVER!

Doesn't work.

I wonder what it's like to sleep soundly? Night after night of terrible snoring is draining. I'm crying and I'm tired.

Woe is me.

off to camp

We are so excited for this weekend. It kicks off our entire summer of camping activities. I'm really looking forward to the campfire chats and kids playing in the sun. But most important? I get to use my skills!
