Superman
So, I'm watching Superman IV with the boys and Meriel Hemmingway is on this one as the daughter of the guy who temporarily bought the Daily Planet. Do you remember that villain that got his powers from the sun? He had that super manicure and those flesh colored tights with a really bad mullet? The one created by Lex Luther? Well, he took her and was flying her so far above the earth that the planet looked like one of those pictures that make it look like a very pretty marble, swirls of white and blue. Why could she still breathe? I"m just saying...

Almost
Have you ever had an 'almost' day? I almost did this or I almost did that? Well, I have had an 'almost' week. I thank God for the almost. It allowed me to see the scripture "resist the devil and he will flea" for real! But when I really think about it and as I type, I feel a little like Israel. It was less me resisting an more of God saying "oh no let me help you cause you 'bout to mess up and I need you for this purpose". Circumstances prevented me from the actually and kept me in the almost. God knows that if the soup had been right there probably would have been 'actuallys' all week! It was a real struggle keeping focused, but I give all the praises to God! Praise Him!
Up, Up and Away, Away, Away and Away
I am sure I'm super woman. I have been in the sky more in the last two weeks than the man of steel! The air traffic controllers know me by name and I get extra bags of those nut-like thingys from the flight attendants.
Off to Florida. Sunny skis, sandy beaches, fresh air and such! NOT! More like musty training rooms, old government foggies, rain clouds and tornado warnings! For 5 days! Well, sort of 5 days. On the day that I was leaving, it was sunny and warm. Arg!!!
Off to the cold gray February of up North, just to be off to...Te-Hahs! Or otherwise known as Texas! Yes! Open plains, hot sun, slow life-style tasty beef, right??!! WRONG!!! Lets try a day of delayed flights that finally led to cancellations that led to me going home and getting up at 4 am to head back to an airport to be rummaged through and fondled on. Sunny skis here I come! WRONG!! Lets try cold wind, cloudy skis and frantic rushing around trying to make a party. Sheesh! So, I gave up on finding nice weather and warm breezes. Settling instead for a relaxing time. Wrong again! Up at 4 am again to catch a flight out back to my home. But doesn't that sound great. My own bed. My own sheets. My own piece of America. Wrong! Lets try trapped in North Carolina in a motel across the street from an abandoned outlet mall with only about 3 choices for food, all of which look suspicious! Then guess what? Back up at 4am to catch or try to catch a flight home. This is how I imagine my family telling the story. All of it was true, but the boys and me have a different spin on things! We had an unforgettable adventure full of first for us all! First time in Texas for them. First time on a plane for one. They fell in love with family they never get to see. I found out my youngest is a dancer. He must have danced for 2 hours! My oldest, who is much shyer, even danced for a long while! First time being put up in a hotel by and airline for us all. We found some really cheap book in that outlet mall and we payed 'feed the kitty' board games! We got to watch cable in the room (which we don't have at home). Would I do it again, if I knew how it would turn out, probably not, but I'll be prepared, just in case it does. Praise God for good attitudes and hotel beds!
