Am i on candid camera?



The good news is thomas turned 3 years old on Sunday & we had a wonderful celebration. Greg used his birthday money to buy thomas a dream car - it's electric & halarious to watch him ride around!
Yesterday i had to laugh after i started to cry..it was one of those days where you're just thinking "what in the world is going on!" I felt like i was back in my old social worker days talking on the phone, putting out fires, calling here, calling there.. for over a week i've been trying to get my brother's high blood pressure medication dosage corrected. I thought it was all taken care of until i called the home where my brother lives & was told that that hadn't received the new dosage...i call the pharmacy, they say they didn't receive it from the doctor's office, called the the doctor's office, they said they faxed it...i was irate as my brother still wasn't on the right dosage of medication & it's been a week! I finally got it taken care of but it made me so upset. Then i was on the phone with Direct TV trying to take care of an issue for an former client of mine that is now my friend..she lives in a nursing home..i was on the phone on & off for several hours & each time i was getting somewhere i got disconnected!!! I had to laugh, it was such a joke! Then i found out that my neice is having a NO CHildren wedding in Santa Barbara which sounds beautiful but i will have 2 little ones by then & i cannot leave them here..so in a dilemna over what to do there. And the worst probably was a document that i had been waiting for came in the mail - it had a mistake on it so it was unusable & so it will take a few more days to obtain a corrected copy. All of this while thomas wouldn't go down for a nap & while he was into everything...i was running around with one hand on the phone & the other on a geotrax remote control. I still haven't receive the document from immigration i'm waiting for & the adoption fees just went up.

ok, take a deep breath...

First. don't go to the wedding...send a lovely gift and explain that "A" cannot be left right now..it is a crucial bonding time. She will understand and if she doesn't you still have to do what you have to do for the good of your children.

Next. decide to accept the fact that customer service no longer exists in the US of A, resign your self to the fact that if you want something done right, you will have to do it yourself and if you cannot do it yourself, you will likely have to get it done twice.

Last. The day is over, put it behind you, focus on the tasks before you and the blessings in your life...this too shall pass.

Praying for you!

Oh Jeanette!
Those silly documents! Boy! To put it mildly, I am really developing a strong disgust for those silly things! No mistakes, no delays? Ha! Clearly that is the norm! I used to be so naive...
Hang in there! I am praying for you! May Jesus wrap his loving arms around you and "A".
In Christ,
