Hey everyone. I just wanted to grab a second, before the boys get home to let you know, in case any of you want to know, I have fixed my font on the previous posts now. It's taken me a while to figure out what I had done, (picked a BAD font, weblings, to be exact) but once I figured out what the problem was I attempted to fix it and today, I finally finished fixing all of them. I tell you this so you'll know there's some more to read if ya' want to, and by the way, I welcome any comments!
I didn't sleep well last night. Hardly at all actually. The last time I looked at the clock it was around 5:00 am and I was up at 6:35 and haven't went back to sleep, so perhaps I won't experience the same thing tonight.
We had a GREAT time at the beach with the boys yesterday. Jim & I took them. I prayed the whole way there for us to get a good parking space 'cause a neighborhood friend had called before we left and let us know there was no where to park and some folks had gotten stuck in the sand where they were parking on the sides of the drive. We got in spot 7 of the FRONT row!! GOD is so good, ALL THE TIME!!!
Jim got a bit frustrated with James a couple of times because of James' fears of being bit by a fish or cut by something on the floor of the ocean. I didn't tell Jim exactly how I felt about it. I did tell him not to let it get to him so much, but what I wanted to say was; "You and I are not getting in the water, so what's the big deal if he doesn't want to go back in?" I didn't get into it with him though, and eventually, James put his shoes on and got back in with him. Christopher mentioned to me that he'd told James that if he felt that bad about being in the water and was gonna' keep whining, he should just get out. I commented that now he was up there whining and aggravating his Daddy, so Christopher went to where they were on the blanket and encouraged James to do what his Dad had suggested, put his shoes on, and before we knew it; he was out there having fun again with the rest of them.
I had to pray a lot before we left to get rid of the meanness I felt towards Anthony for not coming with us. THE LORD helped me to focus more on the blessing of having 3 healthy boys that could go and a Big Brother to help me with them instead of the fact that my husband didn't want to. Before I prayed however, I said a few things to let Anthony know how I felt, and it was just enough to make him defensive and by the time Jim & James dropped us off at the house afterwards and left to go take Wandagail to the store; Anthony was acting as mean as a two headed motengator. He tried the rest of the night to make us all miserable. It worked well enough at one point that A.J. asked me right in front of his Daddy, "When will I ever get able to buy a house so I can get one and be able to be away from him?" I told him to hush and not to talk so disrespectfully. Then when Anthony left the room I asked them all to try not to make it worse by making any more comments like they were making.
So, once again I have earned the right to abide among the wise. See Proverbs 15:31
Well, I've gotta' go get A.J. from school. They just called and told me that he refused to get on the bus. I'll write more later. Love & Prayers to y'all - Lorraine
