November

Happy Sabbath

I am thankful to be home. I am thankful it is Sabbath. I am thankful that it is November, a month long awaited for.

I am on vacation until the 11th and look forward to spending time at home, healing from the wounds of October, pampering myself, and taking care of other much needed business. My son will be starting his new school after the fall break. If this fails then I will have him home schooled. My mother and I have already looked into what is needed and curriculum options. My family and I have a lot we can offer him and I am certain we would be ok if we had to go that route.

I had a birthday start of this week...Sunday. With all that happened last week, my mind was taken with that gloom so I really didn't get with it on my birthday. My sister came over so allowed her and my son to carve pumpkins which are sitting in my backyard on a platform. I enjoyed her company and spent the rest of the afternoon I guess on YouTube and doing laundry.

Today was youth Sabbath at church and I didn't know. I was asked to do children's story and play a special selection during divine hour and I chose My Tribute from this red hymnal I got from my mother. It sure is different when people don't join you in song. I get nervous and made two minor mistakes but got through. My son even had a part earlier at the end of Sabbath school. The day was going well until it was time to leave the sanctuary. I told my son we were going home and he ran off. I played piano for a little bit before setting off to find him and then soon several church members came with me in search for him. He was eventually found hiding underneath stairwell in an area of the church he had no business in. I dragged him out and left furious.

Every week it's always something. I didn't beat him or shout at him. I took him home and sent him to his room.

I wish I could say some other great thing happened this week. I wish I could say I have the part time job of my dreams or an amazing raise at work that will get me out of debt. It hasn't happened yet. I am thankful for what I do have though and I don't want to complain. I'm in November. Its going to be a great month!
