Feeling that I'm not passing the test of endurance just now. A bit overwrought and needing some intervention on the Lord's part. Not wanting to sound disrespectful, but when several customers owe money and we end up depending on the kids in the meantime---well, that just stinks. At least they're willing, though. And the thing is---I've shared with the kids about how hard it is to ask for their help and they just look at me with that look (you know the one!), but this time the look says that we're family and we help one another out. They are sweet, I'll admit.
Plus it's Gary's 55th birthday today, and he's been so down, he could use a pick-me-up as well.
Think I'll try to get some focus today. Life is just a tad prickly, and I need to look up rather than at my clogs. 'Course it's been LOTS worse before. Shoot, at least there's work, but not having the blessing of payment really puts a different spin on the everyday.
