Week Five

This past week was really tough – I think because the week before Dad and Marsha were out of town so I had the entire house to myself and was able to settle into my own routine and not have to worry about being locked out of the house (yes I was locked out of the house again!). As if having them back in town and having to adjust to Marsha and her weird quirky requirements for me and my room wasn’t enough – the past week at the office was completely nuts. Anytime I have a line review life at the office is a little crazy but to add to this line review I didn’t receive my new dollars in the system until the day before line review which basically meant that even though my paperwork was complete it had to be completely redone the day before line review which is completely crazy since the paperwork takes at least four hours to complete without tweaks and changes. To make the week a little more challenging it was my week to be on Lesa’s short list – meaning no matter what I did it was wrong and she was going to let me know about it. Needless to say by Tuesday of last week I was completely beat down and exhausted, which is never a good thing when you aren’t half way through the week. Thankfully, I am apart of an amazing team and we all look out for each other and so they helped me out in whatever way possible – even if it was just giving me Parmesan Cheese to throw (inside joke) or bring me a Diet Coke for no reason at all. If it wasn’t for them keeping me calm and reminding me that our boss is just a bear at times I probably wouldn’t have a job this week, so I am very thankful for them.

As if that wasn’t enough to make it a tough week – yes there was more. I should have been a little more prepared for this next part since last week was just under three weeks away from Brazil I know that is when Satan starts to attack and needless to say He did and I wasn’t prepared. I think on top of having dad and Marsha back in town and a tough week at the office it was just enough to distract me and keep me busy so that my time in the word wasn’t what it should have been and I let Satan get a hold of me in the area’s of life where I am most vulnerable. Needless to say last week was a week where I felt completely alone in Dallas and had to question if this is where I am suppose to be – I think a big part of this has to do with that I am so far removed from everyone just by living up North and people don’t think I will drive South and they don’t want to drive North. For the record I will drive South I am not asking anyone to drive North – I know that isn’t far – so please don’t forget about me. The final blow for me came Thursday night when I found out something about a really close friend that shattered my trust. On a positive note I have since talked with this person and have forgiven them and am taking steps to start rebuilding the broken trust.

I am hoping this next week will not be as crazy or eventful, but only time will tell.
