Running payroll isn't easy or quick today. Computer errors and interruptions abound and I'm up against a deadline (people generally expect to get paid on Fridays!)
I'm tired to the point that I wish for a caffeine drip instead of having to make coffee, pour it, and add milk.
Saturday morning I woke up to find that a boy child had been spray-painting a guitar in the laundry/computer room...newspapers, painter's tape, paint...everywhere. Black paint.
This loooooong winter certainly tested my/our patience. This past weekend we saw another six inches of heavy snow. Driving was treacherous as the temperature had plummeted through the afternoon, causing rain to turn to sleet, and then sleet to snow. It will be April 1st tomorrow, for goodness sake! I'm sick of mismatched mittens, missing hats, big boots, heavy coats, frosty windshields, and all of the irritations that go with frigid weather.
I usually have pea and lettuce seeds in the ground by now.
There are STILL abandoned lambs living in the house. They cause a mess whenever I let them out to eat or exercise.
I'm STILL waking up at 5 a.m. to feed them, while arriving to work 30 to 45 minutes late. I would like to be a responsible employee with a full paycheck again.
I want to cook pasta but my stove top is broken.
It's Science Fair time. Keeping a nine-year-old boy on track with such a large project stretched my already fragile nerves. Why doesn't he yet know that W-A-R-M isn't spelled W-O-R-M?! Where in the world did he get the idea that our sheep breed is almost extinct because people are eating more fruits and vegetables?!
How is it that God remains patient with all of humankind? We turn our backs to him, make huge messes of our lives, and destroy his beautiful creation.
I've cried out to him multiple times over the last few days. "Please God, give me patience."
