I know it is Tuesday but it is the first day back to work for me and yes I have that Monday morning feeling. Not helped by the fact that I have a long day ahead, counselling session this evening which I am doing by myself as my partner is on a course.
She phoned me yesterday to tell me that the meal that the Governors are paying for is now on Thursday of this week as well, unfortunately I cannot go as I have to be at a meeting which will be long and drawn out.
However plans for Saturday to celebrate her birthday as I was unable to go to her birthday party as I was in Wales instead, so that will make up for it.
Kids have finally emerged from their beds, bleary eyed. Neither are morning people, just like their mother lol!
Before I wend my weary way to the bathroom and get ready for work, I will leave you with a little joke to brighten your day.
Enjoy!
Two little dolls
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years.
They had shared everything.
They had talked about everything
They had kept no secrets from each other...
except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her
closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open ........ or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about
the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick
and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the
shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know
what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls
and a stack of money totaling $95,000.
He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said,
"my grandmother told me the secret of a
happy marriage was to never argue.
She told me that if I ever got angry with you,
I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved;
he had to fight back tears.
Only two precious dolls were in the box.
She had only been angry with him two times
in all those years of living and loving.
He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said,
"that explains the doll,
but what about all of this money?
Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said,
"that's the money I made from selling the dolls."
A Prayer.......
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive
him;
And
Patience for his moods; Because Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll
beat
him
to death. Amen!
