Days 5, 6, 7,8 and 9

Ok so I have had a busy past few days. I used the little gift calendar app so that I would be able to keep track of it all. Well here goes.....
Day 5 I treated a friend of mine to Cocoa in the morning cause it was wonderfully early and I happened to run into them at Kum and Go. It was just a little gift but it still brightened my day.

Day 6 was horrible.... Here is the situation. I have no water at my house. I am not sure if we have to dig a new well or what (Still hoping and praying that thawing might inspire a miraculous filling of the well). My friends car that I am driving because mine are both broke with no hope of financing a fix anytime soon, blew a tire on the way to work. I stood outside in 20 degree weather with the snowflakes lightly falling and no one I mean NO ONE stopped to help. This included two count them two state patrol officers that drove past me. Now you may say maybe they didn't see me. NOPE I was standing outside of my car with the hood and trunk open, hazards on and a little triangle out! Needless to say I was not amused. Fought with my hubby to come and help me because no one else was. And then had my sugars go sky high from the stress. SO I ended up having a day off cause I was at this point boarderline hysterical and really not doing so well. I was also extremely homesick@!

So I got to my observation and thought I needed to say thank you to the teacher that is letting me watch her class so I decided I would also get her a little bag of chocolates for my gift for the day. I ended up helping out more than I thought I would while I was there and felt a little better about life.

Day 7
Ok there are the gifts you give and plan for then there are the ones that you just do on the fly. This one was one I did just on the fly. A friend of my son's was allowed to come over and spend the night. You see this normally wouldn't be a gift but, my son was not deserving of a friend being over and apparently this child had no where else to go. So he got to stay at my house. I consider it a gift because I was in no way shape or form wanting to have another 12 year old at my house this weekend!

Day 8 So today was my day to give to service. I was having a hard time with this because my son had and unexpected friend over, I was having difficulty getting a hold of his parents and I was scheduled to volunteer. So things worked out but it was really cramped on time and on availability of things to do. I have scheduled some time to help a kid I met in my specialty so hopefully this will turn out to be a very productive thing. I would like to see him succeed.

Day 9
Well today was a gift for my grandmother. I took her to the grocery store and did some things around her house for her. I am really struggling as I am stressed for time and lacking in energy. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Hopefully it has thawed enough and miraculously there will be water again. I meet with the crew so pray for good news for me.

Have a blessed time until next time!
