I miss my Addi :(

Addison was driving me a bit crazy and I needed some "me" time and she needed some grandma time...so she has been in the country for the last week.  The first few days were nice, I could actually relax a bit after work, but I miss my baby girl now!  It's so funny, I thought her teacher was going to cry when I told her Addi wouldn't be at school all week.  She said,"Oh I will miss her so much, she is such a good helper and listener and she loves to learn and do work."  Almost every day since she has told me how much she misses Addison.  The other teachers in our school and all the kids Addi's age (even the one's in other classes) keep asking me, "Where is Addison? Is she coming back to school?"  It seems everybody loves our Addison :)  

I've had a very difficult week so my sweet husband got me a chocolate cheesecake from the cheesecake factory (he better love me when my butt is the size of barn...only 500k calories) and my mom and dad sent me these beautiful fall flowers today.  BUT what I really want is to talk to my Addi on the phone, but everytime I call her she is busy playing with puppies, looking at cows, or zebras (mom and dad took her to a safari) or at a football game.  She always says, "I will talk to her tomorrow".  Silly girl.  Yesterday she was at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house for lunch and they were eating gizzards.  Paw Paw kept trying to get her to try one and she shook her head and asked if it was a Gecko! Then she went to mom's house later that day and told her they were eating lizzards for lunch! That girl...never a dull moment when she's around. 

So I was reading one of my apps on my kindle, it has bible verses and prayers, and I came across this and I had to share.  I thought it was beautiful and something we all need to pray for...

A Prayer for Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.  O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved; as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.  Amen  - St. Francis of Assisi
