I have to share this as I am full of so much excitement that it might blow me up if I don't tell every body!

Yesterday afternoon I checked my voice mail on my cell phone. I did not answer it because where I live is nothing gets reception. Therefore my cell will not ring and so forth. Anyway there is a message from my oldest daughter, Jessica. She say's, "momma call me back I have something I need to tell you."
I am thinking OMG what is wrong. By the way Jessica lives in Texas. I have not seen her for some over two years. So of coarse I call her back and she does not answer. Then my phone went dead. Grrrrr So I waited a bit and I called her again and she answered. Guess what she said, she said "momma I am coming home for two weeks on Aug. 18." Yesssssssssss! Now I am crying on the phone and actually now as I type too. I am so happy! I miss her so much you can't imagine. I can't wait!

I am so happy! I feel so empty without her!

One bad thing though school begins on Aug 17, wouldn't you know it, and I have some hard classes this semester. I am stressing the fact that I am going to fall behind as my thoughts will not be totally focused at school. As my daughter is very important to me. I almost don't want to go because I want to spend as much time with her as possible. But my school is very important too and I am in a place with it that I can't just not do it. Even though Jessica means more than life to me, I don't have a choice in the matter about my classes. Point blank I have to go.

I wonder what I am supposed to learn from this situation. Could somebody tell me how something so good can be so hard. Is everything that is good in life hard. Why does nothing just come easy. Still I know that I have truly been blessed!

Thanks for listening
