Black Beauties, 1 White Cross and a Bong Part 2

-

  Monday came and went. I thought a lot about  my  weekend while I worked at my job in the factory and when I got home. A couple days later,  I stopped in at my lady friends house again. I didn't share with her how I spent my weekend but I realized somehow I needed to change what my life was all about. I needed something; but I had no clue what that was.

 Months earlier, I realized that I couldn't leave my husband. I had no where to go. I had no money. We lived paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't leave my kids with HER.. the "other woman".  You see, she lived with us. She was our babysitter. After I found out what was going on at my house with her, I made her leave. I learned that my trying to help someone , (she had it really bad at home) doesn't always work out for me. And... I DID come to believe  that, "No good deed is left unpunished"...Yes, life was a total MESS! 

  Just a year earlier, life had seemed so promising when we moved down here from up north. I never thought it would be like this. It was a new start, a new job for my husband and hope for us. How different this was all turning out for us.... At this point I was very bitter, and angry and hurt, with no answers.

  Just about a week after I decided to never go partying again or do uppers or pot, my lady friend asked me if I would please join her for a full  day away at a "retreat."

 ... I thought "Oh no!! I don't think so!"

 But with every excuse I gave her, she had a remedy! I said I would need to make my husbands lunch for him, she took care of that, I didn't have a babysitter, she arranged that! and I didn't have anything to wear to such a deal. She took me shopping. What could I do.... she was so determined, I couldn't say no.

After all, she had been so kind to me for months and she needed someone to go with her, and  I could handle a break, a day away, at a RETREAT, what ever THAT was...

  The day came, and she picked me and my children up, and took us all to a lady's home, Emma was her name. She  lived out in the country in a huge farmhouse. She answered the door with a big smile and said "Oh its so nice to finally meet you, Darcy, come on in!"

  So I did and we dropped off the 3 kids and then we left. Our "retreat" was in the next town, It was at a church, and I did guess, since I was Catholic, that we would be praying; I knew all the prayers from the catechism I had learned as a child. I felt ok,  and it was  gonna be fine.

 Well, it was nothing like that. ...

The Cone of Shame

 Recently, our Golden Retriever, Angel,hurt herself. Somehow, she ended up with a puncture on her neck. I noticed it because she was scratching her neck and there was blood on the floor.    I investigated and found a wound. "What happened girl that you have this hole here?" and looking at it closer, I said to her "you cannot be scratching this, or it will get infected." It was already looking pretty nasty. She had a compulsion to keep scratching so I decided that a trip to the farm store was in order. Thankfully they had exactly what I had in mind. There, hanging on the wall was a large assortment of cone shaped covers that could be fitted around her neck. Here, I felt was the answer, to keep her from effectively scratching her neck.  So, once I got back home, I went to her and put it on her. I can only imagine what she must have thought. "What is this, and what did I do so wrong that you are punishing me?" She looked sad immediately. And tried to take it ...

Soveriegn Citizens

 One day my husband and I were watching youtube. We do that every now and then to see news, or comedy or instructions on fixing something.  Anyway, when we did that, an array of suggestions came up. This time a sovereign citizen video came up. We wondered "what is that about?" and clicked on the video. In the video, it started out with a police officer walking up to a car that he had pulled over for a traffic violation. The driver rolled down the window and ask the officer, "Why did you stop me??"  The officer replied," you were speeding, going 50 and 35  mile per hour zone."  Then the the officer added, " I need to see your driver's license and proof of insurance please." Driver: " I don't have  to show you anything; I don't have a driver license or insurance but I don't need either one." Police officer:" Yes, you do ma'am.You need to show me your driver's license and proof insurance. It's the law....

The BEST Part of Waking Up is.....

-
 The first thing I do after waking up and brushing my teeth is trudge to the kitchen and start filling the coffeepot with water and putting coffee in the basket to brew.  After a couple of minutes I fill my cup. For some reason my coffee is never hot enough, it looks right, but as I touch it to my lips, nope...  it has the mere essence of coffee, but is not anything I would drink or offer to anyone else in that blah state. So I nuke it in the microwave for 60 seconds and voila, it is heated to that perfect temperature that smells and awakens all my senses.   Lukewarm coffee is not my cup of tea. and I would venture to say, that this is most everyone elses feeling about it too. This morning I read in Revelations 3:15-20. It is the last book in the Bible written by John. It talked about how God feels about us as believers and being "not hot or cold" but lukewarm. It is very straight forward. Lukewarm believers are distasteful to Him, and he would spit them out of his m...
