when I'm feeling blue...

so today was a sad day. I have been busy with the Ward Activities, sick and had sick kids. And I think I was just feeling low of everything. (You know, without anything in my bucket to give, but with a whole lot of dippers taking). Anyway, something happened with my next door neighbors. (don't ask...I'm trying not to gossip) A misunderstanding of sorts, which ended in the neighbor yelling and cursing at me in front of the neighborhood. I know, I know. I bet you thought everyone loves me. Well, guess what. It's not true. And while I shouldn't care, I do, deeply. And as luck would have it, this happened in front of my daughter. Luckily my husband had just taken Baker inside. But I am so sad. I, having no emotional energy left, just started to cry. Then I got angry. I lied on my bed for awhile sobbing my eyes out and trying to figure out how I was going to put on a happy face for the Ward Activity later tonight. I wanted to shout at the Heavens for letting us move here and having such rotten neighbors (mind you, not all) and why couldn't we move (I know, dramatic eh??). And then I started to go back into my grown up self and figure out how to fix this. And I'm not sure it can be. I do struggle with not liking people to be angry at me. I am trying constantly to think what would God do? And all I can come up with right now is that He would at least be proud that I care. That I am sad over this unfortunate misunderstanding. And that he blessed me with a fantastic husband who knew enough to leave me alone for awhile, simply take a kids on a walk, and later remind me that the neighbor is probably embarrassed about what happened. I know, I am lucky to have him as my partner. okay, I've stewed enough. Time to move on and get happy again. After all, I have a Ward Talent Show to get to. Thanks for letting me vent. Heather
