i WILL say, though, that i'm not sure i can put ANY of what happened today into COMPLETE SENTENCES. so i'm not even gonna try.
and to think it started, so cozy and warm, all tucked in while bobby waited out at the cold bus stop with the boys. lol.
so here goes...random moments:
coffee with lori * naked kid * old cheese * flying cheese * penicillin bread * first time goat cheese experience * friend's neighbor's daughter lost her job...and broke a nail (LOL) * tears * belly * nixing of the dress * rummaging the closet floor * noise in the house * another crying friend * lori tells the TRUTH...no matter how painful it might be to hear * trip across town * old man voices * once upon a child * sirens * lights flashing * 59 in a 45 * license & registration please? * little white lies * one less ticket * kids home * off we go * locksmith * girls * kids * KEYS * mall * credit card fraud * red velveteen jeggings * scrounging for food * 43 cents * stolen escapade * stolen diamonds * body in the trunk * turf wars * young life * olive * traitors (lol) * lost blouse in the driveway * sleepover * good night until the fun begins again tomorrow * lori you are going to drive me to an early grave but i love you :)

setting all of that aside though, i do have to say that while WEIRDNESS abounds here on the east coast, i got a text today from my brother in law, and later talked to my sister jennifer. please pray tonight for a little girl named jessica. and also for jennifer. they say everything happens for a reason...and for MANY reasons today, jennifer ended up being delayed for all kinds of things...because of that she ended up at an intersection she never would otherwise have been at...where she was the sole witness to a fatal accident. it was a grandmother and her ten year old granddaughter. the grandmother was killed. jessica jumped out of the car and was in hysterics running through the street. jenn instinctively jumped out of HER car and pretty much tackled jessica. she spent much time after that comforting her, praying for her, went to the hospital with her. not sure what lies ahead for little jessica as it was her grandmother that was raising her. but i know she could use our prayers. i'm so thankful my sister was there for jessica. but i'm also so sad that she had to witness something so horrific. love you jenn. i'm sorry we lost our connection. if you feel like talking call me. i don't want to intrude on your space if you aren't in the mood to talk anymore. don't ever doubt for one second that YOU ARE CHANGING THIS WORLD. love you. so so thankful for you. for so many reasons. but tonight i'm thankful for you on jessica's behalf.

Thanks for writing that it meant a lot to me. I only did what my heart told me and I know God placed me there for some reason. As tragic as it was I am grateful to be a servant. My heart goes out to jessica and her brother.I also pray for the other driver who sits in jail. Thanks.for the love and support.
