If it is not one thing it is another

So I do not say much about my job that often except it is good- I still love what I do - however the last few weeks it has become very stressful- not enough hours in the work day to get things done- we are short staffed and I am trying to do many things at one time- I need to take a step back and refocus and not get so over anxious about things there- I need to prioitize all though everything is important that needs attending to there. Hmm dilemma.
My problem is I think about it off hours and get more anxious- not a good thing-
In fact last night I went back to work after hours which for me is hard because what do you do with Marcus- well thankfully Adam had some time ( it was good for Marcus one on one time with Uncle Adam) anyway- I went back and got a bunch of things done in an hour and half of being there- hmm quiet no distruptions - I still have a few things to get caught up with and still feeling a little anxious about work but hopefully this week will be better- praying for 2 more people to come to our facility- so we can get things done actually during the day-
I do not mind coming back to get things accomplished however I prefer those days are few and far between.
Will you agree with me in prayer for staff? 2 people would be great- God is the God of possibilities!

Paying for the day off on Monday

Well let me just say when Marcus' schedule gets screwed up it messes up everything- he has been way out of whack the last several days- he was volatile in the car on Tuesday hence losing the privilege of track- sorry coaches- and today was a little better but the disrespect and the whiny attitude has got to go- he lost privileges tonight and proceeded to act out in service- so I am doing my deep breathing and trying not to hold on to the actions of his day today- breathe in breathe out

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10....Breathe

Memorial Day part 2

We went to our good friends the Garlands- they play a significant roll in Marcus' success and me keeping my sanity- I love the Garlands- they had a cook out and the kids were able to go swimming- great relaxing time

The best part of it was when I kept up and "beat" a teenager ( 20 years younger ) swimming across the pool- oh I am sure I will pay for it - and I do have witnesses.

This is Jordan the teenager I beat swimming waHoo!

Again as always- for Memorial Day- we salute those who have served and those who have lost their life defending our country- the Danielsons are so proud of all those who serve

Memorial Day- part 1

The reason for part 1 is because this is my thoughts on Memorial Day- It is a time to think of those who have gone on before us- I am thankful for those who have served in the military- my family members have served and so thankful for fighting for our freedom.

So thank you to all of our military for the many sacrifices you take on

My thoughts also go to my family who have already passed on - I often think of my grandparents- it has been just under 9 years since I have had no grandparents alive- I do wish they could have seen me graduate college- or adopt my son- or yes eventually get married- Oh I know others out there have lost there grandparents-before accomplishing things- so you hope they would be proud of the person you have become.

So Nana- Pap pap - Grandma- and Grandpa- I miss you all

Memorial Day part 2 will come later this evening

Track meet today in Tampa at Jefferson High

We had a meet today- Marcus was running in the group that is 2 levels higher then him- there was a mistake with registering but it is ok he had fun and did pretty well with the older boys
I so enjoy these meets- he makes me proud-and he is so funny with his actions there- he wants to be first in the worst way - he will get there- someday- maybe next year when we are involved the whole season- he loves it and loves the meets-I savor these moments because I enjoy them so much and it is such a wonderful change As you see I have turned into a red racoon- sunscreen did happen after the fact

Running the 100m

Running the 200m

I AM still here

I have not written this week- so sorry- work is kicking me tired and it is crazy- Hopefully today will be a bit better so tonight or tomorrow I will write more of what is going on in my world
Another busy day today and this evening- hopefully bed to early tonight - so looking forward to the 3 day weekend

Refreshed

Wow- I am refreshed and really soaking it in now after the phenomenal day in the presence of the Lord- I am actually sitting here with tears in my eyes thinking on how good God is and knows exactly what we need to hear in our life- Thankful for pastors that are obedient to God.
