I need a Vacation

I so need a vacation. Actually I think I'd really like to retire and become a more devoted domestic engineer. Have to be careful talking about needing time away from work, last 2 times I prayed for time off, my prayers were answered and my time off was spent either totally in bed or in the hospital. Be specific when you ask God for things. He DOES answer.

We've been busy on the Poland and Seale ranches lately. Weekend before last Lisa, Mom & I (well Aunt Iris mostly) hosted a baby shower for our little Leah who is expecting the newest baby girl to our family. Had quite a turn out, way more than I expected. It was nice just to visit with everyone.

Then my new sister in town, Lisa, hosted lunch for Mother's Day. That was really nice and probably more so for Mom. She has always cooked lunch at her house on Mother's Day. I always considered that kind of an oxymoron due to the fact it was "her" day and she was the one doing all the work. Doesn't make sense to me. I'd just as soon go out somewhere. I'm not going to be the mother who cooks on Mother's Day, shoot I don't want to cook anyday. I'm a good cook I just don't enjoy it.

Haven't heard from our soldier in Afghanistan for a while now. I think he's talked to his dad. Last time I talked with him he had gotten so many packages from us that he told us not to send him anymore for awhile. That must be really bad when a soldier gets too much. Just continue to pray that he and other serving with him will be protected by God's hand and stay out of harms way.

I'm being paid to work so better get back at it.
