Middle America's Worldview

Yesterday was a busy day. Work was stressfull in the sense of an ever continueing project coming to a head. Let's just say Corporate was pushing and the facility pushed back, I was stuck in the middle (again).

I took both kids to our son's speech therapy. As they were in the back playing I ran to the bank and post office. Grabbed them, ran to the video store, renting Shrek2. We then proceeded to Burger King, treating the kids with a kids meal. Proceeding to a nearby movie place, I acquired some passes for the PTA fundraiser gifts. From there a hop over to Putt Putt Golf for additional passes. I was trying to acquire all the necessary fundraiser prizes while I was in Fort Smith. Most of these guys don't open till after 3 p.m. This makes it difficult to do on a lunch. I don't see how Kel runs like this all the time.

In the evening the kids and I stayed home while Kel ran to a friends house working on the PTA school book. I knew she was stressed out so made some no-bake cookies with the kids. We straightend up the house (cant tell it now) and played the Shrek2 game. We can all 3 play at the same time, together.

I called Kel a couple times checking on her and found out on her way home, she had a melt down. It is difficult, because it's one of those situations, where you just simply have no control over. I can't help recognize we made it this far, no turning back now. With the stress of the job, family and pressure from others (too many to laundry list here), it is no wonder she held out this long. Hang in there Kel, I am stil waiting on the word go from the Lord. It will come.

On another note, I also picked up the agenda for the school board as me and the kids headed to Fort Smith yesterday afternoon. I was shown the bids for the new roof at school. I received a call from one of the other board members last night as well. I think i had more answers than she thought I would. This is not boasting, but I could tell she was a bit surprised I was actually in the loop already. As she ended the call, I re-asked her to call me anytime. She said ok and hung up. Too me, this is not much difference than work. Communication is key and it looks like it will hold true here as well. But then again, what do I know? I just started and havent been sworned in yet.
