Things have been chaotic. But then I'm in good company aren't I? Everyone seems to be on full throttle since beginning school. We are still working on our routine. Perhaps some day soon, I will actually make it to work on time. I almost did this morning but our parking lot was full so I had to drive around twice until I finally parked in front of the dumpster on our lot that says 'No Parking Anytime'. Oh well, I laugh in the face of authority. (Okay, so maybe I knew the trash had already run earlier in the week and no one was going to invade the space). But sometimes small rebellions make you feel a little more in control of your life, don't they?
Anyway, it's been a busy week. Robyn is learning more words all the time (I know you're shocked ;0). She is keeping stride with Kiley almost step for step. This is great when they play well together. Not so great when Kiley gets tired of her little sister. But all in all they are settling right into their routine. I was confronted with a harsh reality today and it made me count my blessings.
We are currently opening our building to a group of people who are helping folks in Little Rock who have lost their jobs, find new ones. One of the attendees to the group was a mother in her forties or fifties. She has a daughter who graduated college in May. Both of these ladies are attending the group in the hopes of finding employment. How lucky I am to have a good job that pays my bills and feeds my children. I can't imagine being at that stage of life and both me and my daughter are job hunting. The mother, a career professional with Alltel, will officially lose her job in October due to the business being purchased by Verizon Wireless.
So, lots of changes for lots of people. We thank God everyday for bringing us here and giving us another day to work and live this good life!
