Last week we had two feet of water in several hours. We were stranded in our house and Whitney was stranded in his car, long story short I finally was able to get to him about 2am. However, on the way my car was swallowed by water and I lost the steering and was floating down the street. At this point I looked up at the sky and said out loud, "God, please stop, I can't take anymore, I need you to guide me through this water, to Whitney and back home safely without any drama."
I didn't say it in a small voice either and my window was down (stuck down) what I didn't know was there was two people standing in their yard (waist high) listening to me AND in my nervousness to get to Whitney at 1:30am, I forgot my hat, so my bald head was with me.
They started clapping and cheering "You can do it". It was at this point I just had to laugh and low and behold my car got it's steering back and an hour later we were at home AND my car still works.
See, so when my head broke out in it's huge rash, I knew I had used my "red phone line" to God and I would have to deal with this on my own.
I just sat on my bed and debated what to do. I had a session meeting before church at 9am, and I knew I would see the pastor, so I went to church in my Santa hat. I did ask before going to service if he thought I was being disrespectful and he said no. So I sat in church in my Santa hat. I will have to say it was a little uncomfortable. Then I remembered at Easter that used to the big deal, wearing a hat. That made me feel better for about 5 minutes. But I got through it and everyone was highly complimentary and sweet.
What do I do after Christmas, will I be the lost elf?
I got another beret that's hot pink with sequins on it, I wore it yesterday and got lots of compliments, got home and took it off and had a hot pink head, all the dye in the hat had rubbed off onto my very very white head.
I thought William summed it up well, "Only you Mom, only you!"
