What lesson is this bringing to me?

The Peach Stand was supposed to open today but as of 1pm there is still no sign of it. I have been promised phone calls with no follow up, and emails with no follow up. I am so frustrated and so close to tears yet again. I have been READY and at the beck and call of these people for days. Steve hasn’t been able to go to work with his brother today which is our only guaranteed money. We have spent gas money we didn’t have to waste, checking on whether they have started the stand. My stomach is in my throat.

Yesterday I had to tell Geoffrey he doesn’t get to take the summer PE class that freed up his school year to allow him to take chorus and French. He was disappointed. The hardest part was having asked my daughter for money and then having to explain that nothing is happening money wise yet. We are still 2 weeks off from any kind of money IF the peach stand comes through. I feel like I’m being torn apart again. I know she didn’t mean a thing by asking about our ‘jobs.’ She called this morning to let me know her pregnancy test was positive. They’ve been trying for over a year and she’s almost 32. She doesn’t need to be supporting her mother’s unit – my words not hers.

FRUSTRATION

Update – I started making noise and rattling chains and finally got some answers about the peach stand. They planned the set-up poorly and it’s still coming. We are being paid from today forward. It may be Friday before it actually starts and I will stop being so upset and give them room since they understand I will report a scam…

And did I tell you I’m gonna have a new grandbaby???? A new grandbaby! I am a grandbaby hog!

About Morning Knits

I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody. I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats. Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties. I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.
