I'm going to get through this day
with a smile,
if I have to do it
five minutes at a time.

This is what my perpetual calendar says today. I wish I had heeded it. I guess I'm going to have to adopt a "fake it 'til I make it" attitude. It's hard to smile when hurdles keep popping up in my way.

I have accepted a job for one of the Elementary schools. I left to go get gas only to find I have no money. Where did it go? I had money left in my account as of Tuesday afternoon.

So my good news was overshadowed by bad news. How was I going to get to work? I had to call Lois and ask for gas money. Does anyone know how humbling that was?

Then I got to thinking about what Susan had told me about teachers in this county not getting paid until the end of August. How will I survive that long?

I am in need of a miracle.
