The Wonderful World of My Life

I really wonder sometimes if I'm the punchline to some cosmic joke some alien is telling his alien buddy and an alien bar.... if there is such a thing. It never fails that just when I think it's going OK, the proverbial rug gets pulled out from underneath me. I've come to expect these annoying occurrences so i just "keep on keeping on," as my mother would put it. But when is enough...well, enough? When do I get to scream at the top of my lungs, go "postal," and take it out on the world?
OK, OK, before you a think I'm some kind of mental person, just relax. I do understand that things go wrong and life doesn't always go the way you want it to. HELLO!! If you know me at all, you know I have a "handle" on the particular thought process. I just long for something more. Now the real questions begin. What is this "something," that I'm looking for? I have my walk with the Lord, a great church family, an amazing immediate family, and an awesome group of friends. So what is it. I've been thinking about it all day and honestly I haven't come to any conclusions. I do know this though.... I'm ready for some new challenges. That may be going back to school or... oh i don't know.... taking up bungee jumping! What ever it is, I'm ready and can't wait to get going. So! That's me today.

Alright....

So yesterday the kids and I went to Dairy Queen for dinner before church. If you're a parent and attend church during the week, you know the headache of getting everybody fed, happy, to church on time. Anyway, we get our food and take it home. Now I told the kids that they could have an ice cream if they will eat all of their cheeseburger. They both nodded excitedly, as we pulled up to the house to enjoy our fast food treat. As we started up the stair to the apartment, I told them both..."now be careful with your icecream when you come up the stairs." I didn't even get the words all out.... you could still see them floating out of my mouth, and all the sudden i hear a big crash and icecream go flying down the stairs and little Lincoln,(my son), crying his eyes out. Ally had accidently hit his creamy treat and knocked it out of his hands. I felt so bad for him!!!! All i heard was..."MY ICE CREAM!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! It was horrible!
Alright, so we get inside and we all eat out dinner. Right. So now it's ice cream time. I salvaged Linc's icecream, so he was good. So I pulled Ally's out of the freezer, and I dropped it all over the kitchen floor!!!! So much for a quick bite to eat before church!!!
