It is a new day... Another moment of waking up quickly running through my to do list before jumping out of bed. I know.. I should start keeping a list.. other than in my head...Lord knows and my husband and kids will testify I run around like a chicken with her head cut off most the time... That is my great fear as I get older... the inability to do everything that I do... or to remember everything that I have to do more importantly.I suppose I could hire someone to do it for me... but that would be very difficult if I couldn't remember what it was that had to be done in the first place....
Today's defining moment... Savannas (my baby who will be six on the 10th of June) last day of Pre-K...Do I even need to tell you that the thought of my baby heading out into the big scary world of Kindergarten scares me to death? What will I do with myself...? Who will take care of all her needs...? For she ... our little Princess has many needs don't you know.. There are certain things that she cannot live without..a couple of card games a day definitely a priority... Along with Macaroni and Cheese..(only Kraft..!)Oreos, and of course her Diet Coke... The latter my fault.. I think the love for it was fed to her through my veins. Of course I know it is bad for me.... and for her... even more so... But..well.,.. I am not a Perfect Parent... Who will fix her hair as her braids come undone? I am certain she won't be the Center of attention at Kindergarten... Do I want her to feel that disappointment as she realizes that she is just another child?
None of my Children are just another Child... They each have a story of their own..,. and we will get to that as well.. we have lots of time... a little at a time....
Another special soul wandered into the store this afternoon.. I am so humbled at the compliments from complete strangers... What a Validation it is to have people actually spend their hard earned money in your store...Thank you once again Jesus for allowing me to have my dream...
Back to the Wonderful...(one of many!) woman who graced my store with her stories this afternoon... She was a Gorgeous Grandmother with her own story to tell... All my life I have loved to listen to peoples stories... We all have them...My husband always accuses me of getting "caught up ' in other lives... I don't see it that way at all...I love to listen and learn through all of these Angels that pass through my life...
Is it not true that every one was placed there by God himself?
This lady was talking up a storm about a certain person in her family that had done her wrong... Long story short she ended up buying this person a gift... I wanted to cry when she brought it to the counter explaining who it was for after the story I had heard.... Why is it that it takes strangers to bring out my faults?
Tata for now.. store is getting busy...(Thank you Jesus!!)
I will meet you here tonight!!
