I did our taxes tonight, and then had another "first." I helped Robert complete his first tax form. Is this really possible?!?!!! Granted, it wasn't much at all, not really worth doing one, but I would have wanted to do it and had my mom's help if I were him, so I offered and we did. :) So, now Robert is officially one of us "working slobs" that the IRS keeps track of. And he'll get his first refund check later this year.
It was a nice day (even though the "icks" came back last night). I went to church. After lunch, I made myself go to Catherines with Barbara to charge me some new clothes. I've just worn out most of my old school dresses to the point that I would look like (let me change that to have been looking like) the "white trash teacher" for sure to wear them to work anymore. Then we picked up the boys and went to the mall for haircuts. Matthew has very short, spiked hair now; he looks much more mature and I really like it! I went ahead and bought/charged some clothes for Robert & Barbara for their birthdays, though it was early. They were also needing clothes (at least pants) and I got them each something they wanted and needed.
I'm really feeling icky, so I'm off to bed. I'm so thankful to the Lord for three good days where I felt "normal" again and great! I hope that comes back again soon. So for now, I'm clinging to the words of this song I love by Matt Redman and that we "just happened" to sing today in church:
"Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth..."
I'm here for You, Lord,
Rebekah :)
