As the World Turns

Tonight I prepared a shopping list, we were out of "normal" food, since the grocery budget two weeks ago went for Thanksgiving. Then the call came. A very distressed sister had arrived from WY only to find that the building that was once her home, in which she had hoped to occupy once again was unliveable! She came over right away, dumped her children off at my home and headed to Home Depot to spend lots of money. All water pipes have to be replaced, the floor has to be replace, everything has to be repainted etc etc...
So after listening and babysitting, pulling out young children who found out that they couldn't really fit between the stairs, feeding them and noting that little boys pee their pants when they can't find the bathroom.... Carrie finally returned and they headed to a local hotel and I finally headed out to get some groceries. I just hope that the rest of her week goes a little more smoothly. Please pray!
