things you learn

I need to learn patience. I was told to get the van deal done asap, today if possible. It didn't workout today, and I was VERY frustrated by that.  I need to learn to keep my temper and emotions in check. The deal fell through because of a policy the company has about payment options. I was all set to get the van, today, and we had to walk from it because of the payment option. UGH! Add to it that Drew CRIED when we had to put his car seat back into the old van.  BUT, the new van is coming, hopefully, if the above un-named company didn't sell it out from under me, I'll pick it up Saturday. Payment options have been arranged. PHEW!

In reading the blog of another person, I've learned things from this person, during her youth that I never knew...not totally startling, until you take in to account she is one of my best friends and we've been friends for (gasp) 18 years or so.  I hope that by knowing these things I can be a better friend...I can try.

this last "learn" may sound odd, but it's the truth of it, and so it goes... I learned today that I'm loved. Not by family, but by friends. My church choir began rehearsals this evening for the new season. Several of them commented on how happy they were that I was able to sing, even with my insanely busy schedule. Makes a shy girl, who often feels invisible, feel really good. :o)

Tomorrow we leave for MIL's house, Sat. am is family pic. all 18 of us, yehaw! Sun. pm is my niece and nephews' baptism and then the party.. YAY, family time!!!  Should be a fun weekend.
