The fog of August.....

The fog of August 2011 continues to haunt me....my dads passing and the aftermath, caring for my mom keeping her up and going, all the paperwork that needs to be dealt with a 'love letter' (not) from the IRS that requires so much research and now my dog won't use his leg and had to go to the vet $$$ but Thankfully no broken bones....it is August 24th and I feel I have been in a fog since that phone call August 2nd.....I am in a weakened state and life seems surreal....and it seems every day brings yet more challenges....



Yesterday after taking my mom and brother to the airport and before the Tax meeting I drove by my fave Thrift shop then I turned around and thought if I went in to browse maybe I would perk up a bit.....I did score these treasurers:


Some awesome pet steps that retail at $59.99 at Petco and are brand new, two felt blankets to wrap and store some furniture, an adorable Turkey to add to the collection, a Fisher Price Nurses Kit, a talking storage box and the major score of about 1500 pcs of legos for my boys. The other stuff was included in the mix but I have no use for it and will redonate it next pickup. Found all this for $31.00!!!


I scrubbed everyone of those tiny legos in hot water and then air dried them and put them in a plastic tub and took them over to my boys to play with.

Later in the night I got a txt from Kristen that they had fun, played and were happy and even cleaned them up when they were done....that did make me smile...and smiles are few and far between these days!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.....
