Alarming Situations -- and the Lack Thereof
It has been a wild and frantic week since I have been on here. I am working as many hours as I can outside of school trying to earn some more money to help with Lorena and her expenses. FUN!!!! Several of you have offered to help some with our expenses, and you have touched me deeply. I look at her bills as being my responsibility, and it bothers me that her Mexican family has picked up the tab to their detriment even as I have been remiss in my duties. I have been thinking it over, and I will let you know soon what I decide. Thank you so much, though, for thinking of us.
I mentioned being late for school on the last post because the electricity had been off and my clock time was mis-reset. That night I reset EVERYTHING and checked it about three times to be sure there would be no repeat of frantic dressing in the car on the way to school. (I wasn't sure how that would play in the local paper if I were stopped for some traffic violation and discovered to be half-dressed...) Finally, satisfied, I went to bed, confident in the alarm clock. Tuesday morning I awoke before the alarm went off, feeling relaxed and refreshed -- to discover that I was supposed to be at school about fifteen minutes before I had so leisurely awakened. PANIC TIME!!! It was dèjá vu all over again!!! I relived Monday madness, only ten times worse, as I dressed on the way to school. When I got home, I discovered that I had set the alarm for the correct morning time -- in the evening mode. Wonderful!!!
I have to go teach some homebound students. There are many things going on in our lives right now, but I cannot discuss many of them on here. Just pray for us all, please.
