This was a hectic weekend and I am glad it is over. Friday evening after grocery shopping I went out for Chinese with my friend, Jacki, to celebrate our birthdays. Hers is May 1, mine is May 7. This is a yearly tradition for us. I returned home to do a couple loads of laundry, and prepare my sweet potato tarts and hash browns for our Missionary Brunch on Saturday at church. I also had to give a three minute inspirational talk that I had to prepare.
The brunch was very nice; we had chicken wings, pasta salad, hash browns, breakfast quiche, fruit, tossed salad and various desserts. Everyone enjoyed the food and the messages. We were finished by 1:00 pm and then my husband and I had to clean the church. Because I was so busy at church, I had to take my food home to eat it. I rested once I got home, did one more load of laundry, then it was time to pick up Justin from the school. He was returning from his NYC trip. He has a great time of course. We got "I Love NY" tee shirts and we are going to wear them with khaki shorts to our Sunday School picnic in June.
Sunday I was so tired that I did not go to morning service. We had afternoon service then we were expected at the funeral home (see previous post) that evening. Justin had to go in to work at 2:00pm, then Errol and I went to church.
The funeral home situation was so sad. The young man had considerable damage to his face, but the undertaker did a decent job of making him presentable. There were a lot of young people there, and I hope they took in everything. The guy was too young to be in that casket, and maybe this will drive home the notion that they are not immortal, you do careless things and this is the result. The driver of the car will be left with the guilt of their bad decision for the remainder of his life. I pray for him because he is not dealing with this very well. He needs a lot of support to know he can make it.
I am back to work for another hectic week. I have something to do every night this week. I JUST NEED A BREAK FROM EVERYTHING AND I AM DOING MY BEST TO HANG IN THERE UNTIL JULY.
