Jesus Take the Wheel . . .PLEASE!

Every once in awhile, someone will say something like "you don't have kids--why can't you at least get a dog or something??". Well, in all honesty, I can barely keep my houseplants alive, given the rollercoaster ride I've been on lately.

Take, for instance, these last four days:

Friday morning, get up at 5:30, go to work, leave work at 3:00
Drive to Pasadena to see Dad, have dinner
Saturday, have lunch with my sister, drive back to Yucaipa
Repack and head up to Big Bear Saturday afternoon
(That's the nice part--beautiful up there right now--lots of snow on the ground still)
Monday morning get up and drive back to San Bernardino for work
3:00 leave school and go to Cal State SB for tennis practice from 3:30-5:30
Stop at Trader Joes on the way home, arrive around 7:00

Why do I feel like a hamster on a wheel--life can just be one big roller coaster ride sometimes, you know? Is this the way it's supposed to be? If it weren't for Jesus in my life, there is simply no way. I would be an absolute basket case. Take the wheel. Please.
