I don't regret posting that, but I do feel better now. I went shopping with my mamma and talked with a good friend on the phone and have calmed down and rested in God. :)

Always good to get out bad thoughts, feelings in order to heal. It is when we do not get out our frustrations that we bow up like a balloon and when it gets too full
EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So vent for healing, right on

Yesterday, my mom drove out here to have me highlight her hair, and she brought my 5 year old niece. It was my niece's birthday, and I had forgotten because I don't see her very often. I had some cake from a baking excursion the other day, so I put a candle in a piece and gave it to her, plus I found a bunch of bracelets that someone gave me for Christmas last year that I don't wear, and some nail polish, and put them in a little gift bag, with help from my mother-in-law, who showed up mid-hair highlighting, and is here to stay now with her Uhaul full of...her house...and her cat (to add to our 3) and her dog.

This place was a mad-house yesterday.

Anyway, it turns out that those bracelets...were given to me by...my mom. Oops. So she didn't say anything until after I'd given them away. That awkward moment you get caught re-gifting...

Today is slightly less crazy. There's an injured kitty around here somewhere, she caught one of her claws on the metal frame of the screen whilst climbing over it, and I'm not sure if her toe is broken or not. Last night I tried to look, but she tore my arm to near-shreds (which is only almost as painful as actual shreds). I'll have to find her again. She's currently MIA, but I've seen her eating and drinking, so I think she's ok, even if she's really not ok.

It's raining. It's that wonderful autumn rain, it started yesterday evening and has been just a slow drizzle since, and I love it, I love it, I love it.

I've been up since 4:30 in the am. Today i'm off work so i figured.... yeeesss after the kids go to school i'm goin to sleep! My son woke up congested and coughing (since he has bad asthma that's never a good sign) I dropped my daughter off at school and i took my son to the doctor so they could listen to his lungs and check his oxygen level. After the doctor cleared him ok to go to school i dropped him off.

I get home get in my pajamas and just as i lay down in the bed...... the school nurse calls telling me my daughter is sick. So i get up get dressed and go pick her up.

I can't catch a break

Oh no!! I'll be praying for you and the kiddos. It's never fun to have sick kids....or be the sick kid.

Well you know you could always bash their sweet lil heads in with a rock. Aside from that though, you sound to me a little like a very special mom. :)

Little one is due in a week, and she still hasn't dropped... I am so ready to meet the little stranger, and give her a million hugs... Guess I'll just leave this in God's hands, and let him work it out. I can't do much on this side...

My boss told me that I am taking too much upon myself. There are certain co-workers that i work with that are lazy, and because i don't want to be miss bossy pants or come off as condescending, i just end up doing it myself. My boss gave me some advice. He's right though, i'm being too nice because i am afraid to be labelled as a **meanie head** co-worker, or a co-worker who is trying to be a manager.

Rant: Why do some people have to take games so seriously ? .... I was told to "find my manners"... by someone in a forum.... who sent me an email to yell at me for not doing things in a given way.... I really should stop using the internet, I get to annoyed by annoying people...

I told my 7 month old daughter that I'm going to sell her. My mother-in-law asked if Amazon allows that kind of thing, and I had to shush her because she was nullifying my threat.

The baby just gurgled at me and then spit up a little on my hoodie.

Why are kids so oblivious? Someone says they're selling me, I'd be all "Ooh, maybe the new people will have HBO!" and I pack my bags.

Save time and energy. Move into the nurse's office.

Are you a gamer, wwjd?!

Video Game Girlfriend - YouTube

Kiss the Girl Gamer - YouTube

...there are at least 2-3 messages contained within these videos I don't endorse, but still...the overall point is made.

So I had been looking for side jobs - because working a 40 hour job and teaching piano and being a single dad evidently doesn't keep me busy enough...

I interview with a church needing a music director, which would be right up my alley - choir, building up an instrumental group, bell choir, etc.....the check alone for this side gig would basically cover my rent, allowing me to get certain financial ducks in a row so that I could actually buy a place...

I can't go through with it - this "church" is just a touchy-feely humanistic organization that wants me to forgo certain hymns that have too strong a Christian message (since the pastor told me that she didn't believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins), and edit the text of the various choir anthems.

So, no can do. I'm disgusted that part of myself wanted to sell out for the money.

CatHerder -- good for you for keeping your godly standards. I'm a church musician, but volunteer (even though I have a doctorate in music!). But I can't find a paying gig that has the same doctrinal standards I have for music.

Listening to my Autumn soundtrack that I made. It consists of Sarah Mclaughlan, David Gray, Lorrane McKennitt, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, and Enya. Much of it is music that I had listened to in past autumns, from a year to 8 years ago. Always takes me back to that time. Some from past autumn loves. Many of my relationships had begun in Autumn, so it was the exciting times. Clearly living in the past huh? :rolleyes:

Autumn has always been a season of memories, reflecting on the past: with one smell or song, I am there. The others seasons don't have the same effect on me. But it is also the season for new memories, sadly, it is just not the same if I cannot have someone to share them with.

I hope and pray God provides for you, CatHerder. I plan to be going into a similar career. When I graduate in May/June, my college plans are to double major in Music Education and Music Performance. I feel like God has called me to go to so many places, and God has also given me a huge heart for kids. When I take care of the babies and kids in Sunday School, I love them so much, I've affectionately called them "my kids" before. I just care for them that much. And I pray for them and concerned for them, and the cruel amazingly morally numb world they're going to be exposed to in just a few short years. I already see girls a few years younger than me swear like sailors and talk about their boyfriends and how their hearts are broken...and it breaks mine.

And I see the same thing in adults. I see people that have so much potential, but they feel like the choices they've made have made it impossible for them to ever become successful or worth something. And it's so sad.

I believe music is a way that everyone can connect. It's something everyone can understand, no matter how young or old you are, no matter where you come from or what language you speak. It will either minister and build up or tear down.

So yeah...that's what I feel like God wants to do in my life.

Sorry that kinda turned into a post about me. Didn't mean to. Again, I'll be praying God provides CatHerder, and that wherever you go you'll be able to minister and God will be able to provide a sufficient income.
