Life is strange!

I've decided when you think life is "normal" something happens. I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog but - ah what the heck! I've talked to Rob almost daily since he went to Oregon. It sounds like he spends a TON of time playing video games while his dad works & the tree-hugger neighbor complains about Rob riding the motorcycle. Poor kid! I miss him but try to keep moving forward.

This has been a tough week for me. I'm not sure why but everything overwhelmed me to the point of tears. I hate that! Our PG house got broke into which is sad because there is NOTHING there to steal! I really wish we could get the dang thing sold. That would be a HUGE help! My car has a vibration that happened over the weekend & it was parked so I'm not sure what is going on with it. My hours at Covey Center has drastically been reduced but it's summer so I should be grateful, I guess.

I helped search for a 95 year old man on Saturday. He is OK but he had gone for a walk & never returned on Friday. He was eventually found down a steep embankment at the mouth of Provo Canyon with several broken bones. I actually had my picture in the paper over the search though. At least I felt as though I was helping someone!

We have the Lehi Stock Parade on Thursday & I'm going to talk to Springville High School tomorrow with Kelsey to try to take care of some bullying tactics being used by a few girls in the FFA. I knew this was going on all school year but thought it was being taken care of. Well, after tomorrow, these girls better hold on to their hineys! They will be on record now. I can't believe the teacher that Kelsey talked to about the problem all year didn't even suggest she talk to a counselor or do something about it. GRRRRR - it ticks me off! Oh well, all I can do is move forward & learn from the past.

My work laid off three people last week. One being a co-worker of mine in the accounting office that I'm really sad about. One being a long-timer there so it really makes me wonder about how stable I am. The other was the call center supervisor(?). Two of these were single moms. I really wonder if they have something against single mothers sometimes!

Anyway, lots of stress with no means of release right now. Hopefully soon, things will get better. All I can do is keep praying for knowledge of why this is going on.

I now have 16 hens (pullets) so if things get tough, we'll at least have eggs! Even if we need to barter with them, I'm okay with that. I'm trying to become self-sufficient in my own way.

Dad had his cast taken off his arm but it looks really sore to me. I want to help him without offending him but I think he's a bit frustrated about the whole situation as well. Kam made a beautiful coat rack (mom's idea) for father's day. It is really neat! It can hold 18 coats & has "antennas" for hats. It's made out of oak & should last forever because he built it so well. Well,that's all I know right now. Have a wonderful day!
