Wednesday's mindset

Husband sold his camera on Cr@ig's list, so we went out to spend some money last night. He was hoping to find what he wanted in a simpler camera at T@rget, but didn't. Instead, we spent a bit of time in 'lock-down' there since a pretty rough thunderstorm blew through. The employees shuffled all of the customers into the storeroom and we spent some time just listening to the rain and wind. Got me to wondering how we'd all fare if a real tragedy hit. You never who you'll be stuck with. Wish I'd been able to watch the storm, though. The sky was totally black (before sundown) to the East and looked wonderful. I do love me a good rainstorm.

Anyhow, as is my husband's habit---he had me pick out something for myself (two jumpers) and he got Barbies for the little girls and a Lego set for youngest boy. The other kids all make their own money, so the three littlest often might feel left out. Shoot, not with Gary as their dad. He's the fun one. Me, I'm the practical, day-to-day person, but he livens everything up! Good thing too.

He teases me. The shop is empty of work just now since he just finished the two jobs he's been busy with. My mind says there'll never be another paycheck, so must hoard and fret. He just twinkles his eyes at me and says not to worry. He's got an appointment with someone today about a bed to re-do. My faith....so stinky at times.

So, to distract myself, will devote some time to PLAY today. The kids and I are going to the museum, and I need to get myself in a silly mood. I'm way too responsible for my own good. Slap, slap, slap. Must whip myself into shape. :)
