rough day

today, was a little bit of a rough day.

the family i babysit for it like family to me, right?

well today, i got repramanded a bit.

they are in a tiff with their neighbors, whom i absolutely love.

and regardless of the situation, i am going to be polite and respectful to them when i see them.

well the other day, brandon, rory and i were coming back from getting dinner uptown.

i ran into the neighbors and stopped for maybe 4 or 5 minutes to say hi.

well, i guess they did not like that.

because today she told me brandon said i was there for 10 minutes.

{she added that 'brandon and the kids kept walking, but you didn't'}

i know she was mad with the fact that i left everyone. but it was maybe 5 minutes.

if that!

i told her that it was only a couple minutes, and i am not going to get in the middle of what is going on.

she said the problem was that it was 10 minutes.

needless to say, i was on thin ice for a couple hours after that.

but i had to act fine and keep pushing on.

just bothers me to be not rightfully wronged.

but today, the boys and i were playing that i was the queen and they were my knight in shining armors {their request!}
well at one point, it smelled like dog poop.
and aidan--age 6--turned to me and says:
'princess marabelle (they made that made up for me), here is your oxygen mask'.
i nearly lost it. what a cutie!

i just have a feeling this is going to be a loooong summer.

and i'm kinda wishing i had gone abroad to nanny.

but everything happens for a reason.

well the first half of the day was pretty good.

here is some of what we did.

again, i don't know how to flip!  it's flipped on my comp...hmm!

Lord, i need your heart in the matter.  i don't know why i am struggling with just being a blessing and being a light for Your kingdom. please be with me and train me. i am in need of Your help!

p.s...someone gave me their number tonight. my little crush did.  i asked him a question and he said he was on the road and would be easier if i called. but i called. and he never called back. so on top of a long day, that didn't help. and i am letting it all bother me way too much. gah. struggles, struggles, struggles.

the devil is working like crazy over here.

i will not give in!
