Lyric proudly showing off her get-well card for Papa for after his surgeryLife is passing me by.
I was away from home for 4 1/2 days and today I'm trying to catch up. To all my e-mails, to all my loads of laundry...to everything. I feel like life is just passing me by. I can't believe how the months fill up. When I first turn the page on the calendar the new month doesn't look so bad, but within a week every day (and most evenings) are booked up...unbelievable.
This weather has totally been getting me down. Yesterday when I checked the weather network it said up to 14 degrees by Saturday. Then today when I wake up and hear the news they say snow every day until Saturday and high of 3 degrees. (Doesn't it have to be below 0 to snow??). I'm getting so SICK and TIRED of snow.
Yes, I'm slightly depressed.
The good news is, Dad Siebert's surgery went very well and he's recovering extremely quickly!! We spend some time on the weekend at his place 'helping out' (not sure if we were any help, but anyway). Joel and I are having a rough time getting used to the 'working every day' bit. It's amazing how you get used to a certain schedule. He is completely exhausted. He worked almost 11 hours Monday, then 9 yesterday. He works the rest of the week, a 24 shift Saturday and Sunday we're spending half the day on the road to and from Toronto where we are giving a joint 'sermon'. By Monday he'll be dead tired. Last week he worked his 96 hour week of Ambulance which turned into a 98 hour week when he ended up doing a transfer to Stratford 15 minutes before his shift was up Good Friday.
Yes, I'm venting.
We'll get through it. In the meantime, I have something every night next week, the weekend is full but finally next weekend I'll be able to take a breather when I go on an all-girls craft retreat (SO looking forward to that).
I haven't been spending time in the Bible and in prayer like I'd like to (hence the poor attitude). I'm going to work at it.

remember, that this too shall pass, there are days like that in my life too, and thankfully it's only for a time, I usually block white space (time for me) on my calendar and keep it just like it was an actual appoitnment with someone, try it, it works wonders
I hear you Mel,
I too feel like I'm in a whirlwind these days. I just keep thinking that soon we'll finally get some nice spring weather. That always makes me feel better. Hang in there, and don't feel bad about being honest about your feelings. It helps to vent (at least I think so).
