And life is good...

...when we let God take care of things. While family problems are still around there is a peace when we let God handle it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not doing enough but what I can do is not what needs to be done in some cases so it is better to step back and wait for God to take control.

M&D are getting ready to head to Tennessee to welcome the new Grandbaby. My boss is gone for another week and a half. I've been having fun while still keeping track of all the important stuff. There has been a lot going on with the new building plans but fortunatly the Board President has been taking care of most of that stuff.

Watch the movie In Her Shoes last weekend. I hadn't read the book so I can't compare them but the movie was good. It reminded me of my own sibling relationships to a degree and I wish I could have our issues resolved as well as they did in the movie. Not much more to say!

I need to vent...

...so if you don't want to know my fustrations stop reading RIGHT NOW!!!

I love my parents but I have a sister who is using and abusing their love for her. Her scumbag of a husband and her have stolen, lied, and threatened them yet never take responsibility for their actions. Mom and Dad have a hard time letting her face her consequences because there are grandchildren involved. I've never had a good relationship with my sister but there have been times when I thought she would actually get her act together but she just keeps going back to the bottom feeding lifestyle she enjoys. What hurts the most is that even though she was raised to know what was right and wrong she still chooses to raise her boys in a life of lying, cheating, stealing, alcohol and drugs.

I keep telling myself that GOD is in CONTROL and try to let Him be the one to take action but it is so hard to let go and let God take care of things. I'm hurting for my parents because they are the ones being pulled in to many directions and risk loosing contact with their grandkids. I guess prayer is the answer but sometimes there is just a need to vent. Sorry if anyone is offended by my name calling but if you knew everything that they have said and done to my family I hope you would understand.

My life is too boring...

...to deserve a blog. Here it is the middle of March already and I have nothing new to share since the millage passed. It's amazing how fast the contractors start calling when they find out we will be getting a new library. We haven't even finished our RDA Loan application.

Lakeview has a new newspaper! The Boomer family is undertaking the challenge to create and publish an area newspaper. The first issue came out last week and our library made front page headlines with our Millage Vote! It would have been more exciting if I hadn't had to write the article.

As far as books go I've been wading through a pile of romances. Right now I'm reading an anthology called I Shave My Legs for This? Most of the authors I'm unfamiliar with but it is a collection of stories dealing with disasterous blind dates. Since I've never had one I can only relate on a fictional level. :)

I guess life is good regardless of the challenges and disappointments we face. Keep praying for our family and may the choices you make reflect the will of God.
