More random-ness

What a whirlwind of emotions it's been this month... and it's not even over yet. I'm still so sad, but hurt like this doesn't just go away. Plus, I've been trying so hard to be strong for the Mister, the girls, and Pop (sFIL) there hasn't been much time for me to cry or grieve. I keep pushing my feelings aside because there's no time to cry. I have too much to do or there's someone around.

I have gotten most of my MILs clothes out of the house. I've had some help, but a lot of that stuff is going to be my job. I knew that would be the case though. The closet was hard on Pop, but I had E move his clothes in so that there wasn't a big empty side with empty hangers for Pop to look at every time he had to go in there. The bathroom was the next big project I tackled, Mom had a lot of hair products and other stuff. I ended up bringing Moms jewelry box home with me so I could organize things, but it hasn't gone back yet. Pop isn't ready. I'm not looking forward to tackling the craft/crap room, but I need too.

We are slowly ordering the girls school books and every time a box arrives the girls get super excited! That makes me feel good. RD said today that she didn't ever want to go back to "regular" school, but we will see if that opinion changes once we actually get started- LOL!

It's VBS week and the girls are having a blast so far. All of RDs teachers have separately come up and told me how much the enjoy her, what a kind heart she has, and how she befriended a girl who knows very little English and was ready to quit on Monday, but now has brought her out of her shell! Talk about making my Momma heart swell! <3 <3

Myself on the other hand, I was struggling this morning. It's really kind of dumb, but I'm human. Here's the thing, there are 3 ladies in the kitchen that are Grandmother age, me, and then 3 teenagers. Well, the older ladies were carrying on yesterday about how the teenage girls were so wonderful and blah blah blah. Not a word about the work I had done. Like I said, dumb, but I felt like my help was substantial and overlooked so I was hurt and mad. This morning I was determined to change my attitude so I prayed for a servants heart and for forgiveness for my attitude. At the end of the day, I did end up being complimented, but I now know the compliments were not necessary. God knew what I had done and He is really the only one who matters!

And on that note, a few pictures :0)
