Guess it's been awhile

It's been over a month...Sorry.
I have not been feeling all that great.
Not much is new.
Walter is moving in to a home kid kids w/special needs on Monday. This is a good thing! Hopefully he can stay and he won't get kicked out.

Kevin is a jerk. I am sick & tired for his crap. He put on a 'production' yesterday while Keith was not home. If he does it again, I am DONE. I don't understand him. He wants to go to church, he reads his bible, yet there is nothing. He can tell you what you need to do be a Christian, yet he has not done it.(When you ask.) He is the first up for church, always wants to go to Sunday school. We have been told on several occasions by pastor & Sunday school teachers that he knows the words, but it's not in his heart. Our response, yes, we know. I pray for him. And after yesterdays little show, I am finding it hard to do that right now.

Keith is still interviewing for jobs. He averages about 3 interviews a week. Everyone wants experience. But if not one gives him a shot, he will never have the so called experience that is being demanded. It's not like he just go his credital, he has 3 years under his belt. However, I have a peace about it. I know that the Lord will provide a job for him, very soon.

T is good. Full full of energy. Such a big boy. Hopefully w/Walter gone, T will lose all the bad habits he picked up from him. I miss my baby boy!

E is good. Little princess that she is. She likes getting her toes nails painted.

I am ok. Have not been feeling great for a while now. Maybe it's all in my head. Maybe it's my job. Not real happy to come in every day. I have to drag myself. If it weren't for the money, I would resign. I know that God has a reason for me being here, I just have NO CLUE what it is. I am taking a Beth Moore bible study. If you ever have the opportunity I would recommend her.

Maybe I need adult interaction. It would seem ever since we took on the boys, people, aka, friends, we used to talk to, stopped returning our calls. So now, we just don't call.
You know what I mean. You can only call and wait around for so long to hear back, but for you have to move on. Guess it is our fault for thinking that we were friends in the first place. It also seem that when people start having kids, they also stop interaction with people, whether they signal, married or married w/child(ren). Maybe I an whining, but to tell you the truth, I don't care. When you have very little family interaction, friend is all you got and when you don't have that you feel pretty crappy.
Can you tell I am a little irritated..
Ya think!

Here is part of it.
Several months ago we were invited to a anniversary party. Excited that we were even considered to go, I thought was an honor. So we RSVP for 6. No where on the card or invitation did it state no children. We get an email Thursday for the party that is THIS Saturday, explaining that blah blah blah. And then blah blah, only family can bring children. Oh and it is a SEMI-FORMAL event. I can handle the latter. But you are going to give me 2 days to find a sitter when you know DARN well that we don't have the luxury of family in town! Then end with, Blah Blah will be upset if you don't come because of catering and seating. Oh, and how disappointed they will be if we did not go. (We have been told that Blah Blah, made her self sick when she found out others were not able to make it.) So we are feeling a little pressure. What are we going to do? Heck if I know. I can get some one to watch Walter, he has special care givers. Kevin, I don't trust as far as I can through him. And I am a little picky who I leave T & E with. Did I mention, we we're told that T & E could come, and sit on our laps, but they would need to sit and I am sure they would need to be quite.
The root of my irritations is that if you don't want kids at a wedding, a reception, an anniversary party or whatever, when you invite people with kids TELL THEM AS YOU INVITE THEM. DON'T WAIT UNTIL 2 DAYS BEFORE. Please keep this in mind when planning events in the future. It does not hurt our feeling and chances are we will be more excite to go to a childless event with other adults if we know in advance. BABY SITTERS DON'T GROW ON TREES and NOR DOES THE MONEY YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM!!!
With that being said, I feel better.
