the day started out wonderfully!!! I went to curves before 9 a.m.  then my friend took Bo w/ her to the park so it was just Zeke and I hanging out and doing some chores and we went for a walk after lunch.  I had time before Bo got home to shower and do my hair then we had time to play outside w/ friends before heading off to a crazy busy night. we went to pick up Caleb from school early, Dean from work early , so we could go volunteer at a conference at church.  I had taken dinner ( a crockpot of chili, cornbread muffins and brownies) for our tech crew so after a rough first session technically (our A server was down at the start and a fire alarm evacuated the building) we went to get our kids so we could feed them dinner before the next session. We couldnt find our keys and when we did we found our van wouldnt start. we couldnt go get our kids food!! not to mention or van wouldnt start, not even after being jumped a few times!!
A friend drove Dean to get the kids food while I stressed out and called my friend to insure a ride home for us all at the end of the night. Sometime in there Caleb dropped all of the brownies I had made on the ground in the parking lot, so only one person other than our family go to enjoy them. We had little time to finally feed the kids before being back in our serving roles for the meeting.  Things were going much better technically, aside from the time freeze ( u had to be there), and sometime during the service our friend Sara, who turns the BIG 30 today, showed up.  She was meeting her hubby and they had a spare vehicle so it was decided we could drive their van home. Things continued to improve and now if we can just find the money and time to fix our van we’ll be good to go….tomorrow’s going to be crazy but we’ll figure it out.
Praise God for having friends around willing and able to help us, we are truly blessed, even amidst the difficult times.   it’s been a whirlwind day emotionally and I am just floored at how things can take such a drastic turn.  not sure what tomorrow holds for me, but I am determined that someone doesnt want me to attend the session I really want to tomorrow, which makes me more motivated to go so ha ha on you devil I am going!! :-) I’ve got a paid sitter lined up, free childcare at church available if that doesnt work out…so I’m excited that no matter what I’ll be where I am supposed to be tomorrow.   Now off to rest so I am physically and mentally up for it!
