What A Day!

Ya know it's a bad day when your sister needs bail money to get out of jail!!! Yes. That's right. Today my sister spent her day behind bars. I thought I was having a really bad day because of some finance issues. You see... I lead a ministry/scout troop at my church. And since we are a new organization (not Boy or Girl Scouts), we need to set up a checking account for operating expenses. Holy cow! What a nightmare and a headache that has turned out to be! Of course, nothing concerning money is ever easy except usually blowing it. But leave it to my church administrator to make that difficult. I mean ftl it's not even the churches money. They didn't collect it or do the fundraising. And actually said they were not willing to handle any fundraising money and that we should just collect cash and operate from that! Ok what genius wants to explain to the parents that I want their cash and I promise I won't go shopping for new shoes with it! Seriously, my new to the area scouting organization has made it easy to enact some checks and balances and the guy at the church tells me to operate on a cash bases!! Are you kidding me? Who in the world? Whatta? This has got to be the craziest thing I ever heard!
Ok So I am a believer and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. This blog however is not for my spiritual pontifications. Although, at one point I thought it might be. But since I created this blog I have not had enough energy to pontificate, if you will, on matters spiritual. Now now there are several reasons for this and bla bla bla I could list them now since I know whoever is actually reading this wants to know. But really then I would be doing the very thing I just said I don't have enough energy to do! I'll give you this. If I start talking about the spiritual and biblical matters that guide my life then I will feel pressure, and rightly so, to research everything I claim so as to make sure that it is theologically and biblically correct. This would include quoting scripture and looking up doctrines etc etc etc. So that is just not going to happen. So for now lets just keep this simple. I'll rant about what er ailes me and do my best to keep it real without loosing my religion.
So all that aside... here I am all consumed with the difficulties in setting up a checking account and my little sister sits in jail for a ticket for which she failed to pay! Hey, how bout that for perspective! Of course, I didn't find out about my sister until 5pm at which point I had already decided it was a crappy day and was determined to drink a beer to soothe my nerves. (not something I usually do, but we had some in the fridge) Apparently, my T-mobile service was not cutting it today and nobody could reach me. So when my husband got home he told me that my somewhat "crazy" or as she likes to call herself "mean" Aunt had called him about my sister... I immediately grabbed a cold one! I must say, it was quite refreshing. My sister is now "out on bail"! Ha there's something for the annual whitetrash party. Wife and Mother of three had to call Mom to round up 1000 to post bail. Can hardly wait to write the christmas letter this year.
Well that's all for now. Thank you to blogger for this cathartic experience. Now I have to check my voicemails!
