Church meeting yesterday
Nothing was mentioned about the "heated debate" and the letter we had to get out to the parents. Funny it was such a big deal, and now it's not.
I brought up information regarding the need for a homeless shelter in our area-- I may as well have had a third head with a horn on the left side. It seems they were more interested in ways to increase membership. Why do I even belong to a church???? My faith is being well shaken right now--- I guess I better pick up a good book or something before I start blameing God for everything--- really I know it's not God's fault, it's all on us mortals but geeeesssss .... feed the hungry, cloth the naked, I thought this was basic stuff, I guess it's only basic if you don't have to get your hands dirty, or it's not in your back yard.
Hubbie and I aren't getting along really well at this point-- happens after 10 years I guess. He's my best friend, and sometimes it sucks cause I want to tell my best friend how my husband can act like an ass--- but wait, that means I tell him, hmmmm not good. Well maybe good.... depends on his mood and how I say it I guess. This too shall pass.
So I totally feel like I'm not being heard. Not at home, not at church, certainly not in the world of a collapsing real estate market-- I really need to get my resume done.
Hey-- is it okay to have a two page resume now a days? It use to be the kiss of death, but I don't know if that has changed.
What else? Kids are good.

Got a note from the Swiss son. He had a fabulous date with a sweet boy on Saturday! I'm so happy for him!
Had a picnic with the new exchange students and I am planning to take them into the city in a couple of weeks. That should be fun!
Ok, I guess the profound stuff will have to wait! I'll be looking in on all of you this week--- so be sure to update.
Love you all, thanks for being here for me, cause right now I feel pretty alone!

Is it my computer or did you change the background of your blog? Having problems reading it. So,if you changed the background, please change it back. Otherwise, your right about the ten year mark, it also seems that there's a change in the way your life partner acts, and it's mostly for the best.
Sorry to hear things are so aggravating right now, Mouse, especially when it comes to The Hubby. I know it's frustrating when you and the hubby are best friends and are not getting along. As for your church...wow, sounds like maybe it's time for a change?
And yeah, your blog background is making it impossible to read your posts unless you highlight all the text. Ugh.
I think a 2 page resume is still sort of less desirable, but they do seem to be a little more common nowadays. Hang in there, we're here for you!
hmmm... i didnt change anything-- and it looks good to me???? let me see what I can do if some one could copy and paste the page that would be cool--- so i could see it.
I think the two page resume is fine these days people do lead such busy lives.
Your blog page looks normal to me and if you want to rant and rave about your best friend! Just drop us an E I'll listen to you!!
I can so totally relate to how you feel so alone. "Hello out there - is anyone there??" Yes indeed, I can relate! Seems a number of us are all going thru very similar trials right now. Also seems a shame we can't reach out to each other and comfort one another.
I care - I'm reaching - please take my hand!
You know I'm here for you, babe.
I think not feeling heard is one of the worst feelings there is, especially if it's in more than one area or is ongoing.
I had some of the same problems with the whole church thing -- other things as well, but that was a big one. New Testament Christianity, supposed to be about Jesus, right? After He came, we were supposed to be covered by grace, not just living by the old laws, right? Then why were the folks in the church so (selectively) hung up on what those dudes were saying back in Leviticus, and not living as the example Jesus set? I just had a big problem with Christianity not seeming to have a whole lot to do with Christ. Like they should call themselves Deuteronomists instead of Christians.
Whew, didn't mean to get off on a whole rant there, but that "not in my backyard" thing and you having that third head, brought back some feelings on that.
good thoughts to you...
