Crazy Days

Ever had one of those "Really wish I hadn't done that moments"? I had one yesterday. My daughter and I had a lot of errands to run and in the midst of them, we realized we'd left something at home and had to come back to get it. Our neighbor's dog had been up the street when we left, but she's skittish and wouldn't come near us, and by the time we got home, she'd worked her way down to our house. While my daughter kept trying to get hold of her, I went inside for the forgotten item, and my cell phone which I'd also realized I didn't have by then. However, I couldn't find it. Tried the old trick of calling it, but since it has escalating rings, it has to be pretty close for me to hear it. I called the neighbor from the house phone and went back out to my car where my daughter tried calling my phone from hers, and this time, someone answered. A very nice gentleman who had found it in a parking lot (either at the courthouse or the grocery store) and had already called my husband to tell him where the phone was. Gee, thanks, Buddy. I'd just as soon he never knew about this whole incident since I laughed at him for finding his in the ice machine at the church on Sunday night after he filled ice containers for something with the choir.

We went back downtown and got the phone, however, and I'm back in touch with the world.

My daughter filed her assumed name today and her makeup artistry business was born. How fun is that?! It was very easy, and the least expensive thing she's had to do so far. The logo is almost ready. She has an agreement for special occasions nearly ready. We have to get some decorations for her first expo, but we've made wonderful progress so far. Today was hectic (especially with the extra trip home and the lost phone), but everything's in good shape. It's coming together better than I'd ever dreamed for her.

God's blessings are everywhere.
