Cover Up Your Head...

Yesterday was a day from H___... Please fill in the blank. O.K. I'm at work and getting little Miss Annabelle ready to go find her some new p.j.'s and shorts. Now Annabelle is the sweet little lady I take care of. By the way she's 88. Bless her heart, she only has one speed and I guess you know what that is. Our first stop is Wendy's to get her a baked potato. She can only eat something soft and I guess you know why. Now the line is very long and I get the impression this is not going to be a fast food place today. While standing in line I heard a lady just a fussing. Very loud! She was the one in charge and everyone could hear her! Some one had put trash in the lettuce bind and she didn't know who did it, but she was letting everyone have it! Now there was no ketchup, but no big deal. Next stop Sears... Besides their air-conditioner being broken and it feeling like a 100 degrees in there we were fine. I asked one of the sale clerks if she could please tell me where to find capri p.j.'s and shorts. She directed me down a long asile to a clearance rack. I asked, do you have anything that's not on clearance? She really didn't even answer me. I don't think she knew the answer. She was in a big hurry and hurried off. I found a other sales clerk and asked her. Well, I wish you could have seen her! You would have thought I had asked her a very personal question. She started throwing her hands up in the air and saying well we just have this. I said thank you, I'll try to find them. They were right there under her nose. So glad it wasn't a snake! So I'm on my way to find shorts now and I run into the first clerk. My lucky day! I asked her again about shorts and she pointed me to a rack and said that's all we have. Well, I found some more in the store. We came away knowing the department better that her. I think Miss Annabelle and I will try to get a job there now. Now we go to check-out. What a long line! I take the top off a gift box that they are trying to sell and start fanning myself. The sweat is starting to drip off my body now! Of course Miss Annabella is always cold so she has a heavy sweater on. Just looking at it makes me hotter! While the clerk is ringing me up, my cell phone starts to ring. My boss saying, oh ya'll not home yet? Then a lady starts talking to the clerk while she is waiting on me. She lost her purse in the store and is screaming to the top of her lungs! O.k. so we're going to the car now and as soon as we step out the door it is just starting to sprinkle. Now Miss Anna is in a wheelchair so I need to hurry before it starts pouring. Just as I get everything in, all hell breaks loose! I need gas, so off to the gas station I go. Now it's lightning and Miss Anna is scared to death of it. She kept saying, oh Lord, oh Lord! Then it starts hailing! We get back to the house... It's not so bad now, let's run for it! Well, like I said in the beginning Miss Anna has only one speed. We get out and it starts to lighten all around us, but we make it inside alive. Miss Anna goes to her room , gets in her bed and covers up her head. With the luck I've had this day, I dare not turn the computer or T.V. on. I wait for an hour and a half before I can get the wheelchair, purse, drink bag, clothes we brought and put my car back together. Now my boss lady felt bad that I had a bad day. She tells me to go home and relax. Now I forgot to tell you that my hubby (Winterdog) called me right before we left to tell me he had a problem. He was driving down the street and his brakes started smoking, barely making it home before his car caught on fire. Now please understand he paid over $200.00 the day before to have his brakes fix. They had to come and tow his car in the shop and said it would be ready today. So I go home and they still haven't called him, so at 5:45 he calls them. It seems that there another problem and now it will be tomorrow. How can I just relax? Well, I found a way! I went to bed and covered up my head just like Miss Anna! So the moral of this story is, when things get rough, just go to bed and cover up your head!

And yes, I know there are alot of people who really suffer everyday, like our friends on boomer who have cancer and other illnesses. They can't go to bed and just cover up their heads. But when I'm in bed with my head covered up I'm praying for all of them in hopes that someday their problems will be so small they can just go to bed and cover up their heads...
