You probably have lots of people reading who won't leave a comment - I know I do. My question is - If you were not a stay at home mom, what would you want to do? In other words, what is your dream job (besides your current one of course)?

Answer: A dream job....hmmm. Well if I wasn't married with kids I would want to be a Criminal Investigator. I love the psychology and forensics of that job. But it wouldn't really be conducive to family life. So, a dream job that I can do with a family.....that is easy, I would want to be a Praise & Worship leader and a middle school/high school teacher.

Daylight Savings Time Boycott

Apparently I have subconciously boycotted Daylight Savings Time. Because in my house it should be called Sleep Deprived Time. I can't seem to help myself. I am staying up way too late and getting up later too. So my body has still not adjusted to the new time. The nice thing is that my boys are still on the old time too......sweet for momma! That will end when they realize what is happening. It isn't that I don't want to go to bed it is that I am WIDE awake and cannot go to sleep. Hmmmmmmm.....

In other news..after shopping all over town today (a side note-shopping is NOT my favorite pasttime, especially when looking for a particular thing) I finally found fabric to make a shower curtain. And no, I will not be making it. My mom will be. I want to learn to sew and have started some lessons with her but I do not feel that something as noticeable as a shower curtain should be my first solo project. Maybe I should start with something like a napkin....that is an idea...hahah

I am going to pick out paint tomorrow. Yippee!! Almost finished. What will I do with myself when my bathroom is complete, my house is organized and spotless, the boys are bathing in the new tub and no more projects? Oh yeah....finish all the other projects, especially the ones I started and didn't complete. Like replacing glass and rehanging some of the storm windows or painting the front door. Oh the list is purty long. Should be busy for a while.

Did you know that I LOVE pizza? I could eat it everyday. Wish I had some right now with a Coke. Seriously, I am starting to salivate. Just throwing that out there.

Ok, last thing. I really have no idea who, if anybody, reads this thing. So if you do, please leave a comment with a question. Any question and I will answer it in my next blog.

G-nite!

Feel Free To Not Read This Pointless Post

I don't really have anything profound to share this evening but I wanted to post something. Sometimes I feel like my brain just kind of untangles and gets free of some of the unwanted stuff floating around when I blog. So I thought I would share some of the more recent happenings around our house.

1.My mom and I have finished all of the tile work in the bathroom. Okay, okay, my mom did most of it. But I offered moral support....yep, that's me. It looks awesome!!! I am so happy with it. We are almost finished with it all. Pictures coming soon. I know, I should have been posting pics all along. But I am not very good about remembering things like that so you will just have to settle for the finished product.

2.Did you know that it has been downright impossible to find a shower curtain that I love? There are millions of them out there....believe I have seen most of them, but none have really struck my fancy. Except for this particular one that isn't available until the middle of May. What is up with that?

3. I pulled something in my neck yesterday. Spent most of the afternoon and evening moving about like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Thankfully it is loosening up and doing better.

4. There are some people in this world that I just do not understand. People that cause hurt and pain intentionally and don't care. I am so thankful that most everyone in my life are not like those people.

5. My sister is expecting again. Yeah!!! Can't wait to meet this next little bundle of joy.

6. My intentions of losing weight before my anniversary........well lets just say I have more to lose than ever. What is wrong with me? I know....lack of self control and an attitude problem. I need help!!

7. Just want to say that I love my family. They are the best!!! Wouldn't trade any of them at all.

The Reminder I Needed

Why?

In between loads of laundry I have been thinking...okay maybe stewing is a better word about all of the "stuff" that has been happening lately around our household and family. We all have those days when we feel like the entire universe has consprired to just dump on us. And to be honest I seem to be swinging from that sentiment to the knowledge that God is in control and can work everything for our good. I wish I could say that I am standing confidently and without wavering on the latter but that would not be accurate. I know what the Word of God says and I can look back over my life and see how it is most definitely true. But staying in that place of faith has been proving difficult these past few weeks.

I found myself asking the ever popular question "WHY?" You know, why us?, why now?.....

Obviously I cannot answer these questions myself. And so I have been stewing.

But then I heard something that has awakened me. Not sure if I heard someone say it, or if I read it or if it was a random thought floating through my brain but here it is............

Why not us?

I have been so sure that it has all been a set up to just mess with us that I hadn't considered that things happen and we may never know why. Really? What could be so great about me, hubby and our family that it would make us completely immune to all trials and hardships and "stuff"? The answer is nothing.

So instead of taking all of this so personal I have decided to just accept it and move on trusting that I may never know why it happened and just trust that the Lord will in fact work it all out in our favor, in accoradance with His will, knowing that He knows what we need and how to best accomplish it all.

Looking forward to seeing how My Father God is going to work it all out.

Back Home

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I am doing fine. Feeling good. We are still in the process of finding out about the vehicles.....thankfully we have a rental to drive.

Saturday I noticed that our water pressure was decreasing and decreasing. That afternoon the gentleman in charge of maintaining the community well stopped by to tell us that the well had quit working and they could not get it fixed until Monday. So we packed up some clothes and headed to my moms house to spend the weekend. It was driving me crazy knowing how much laundry was piling up at my house. Thankfully they got it repaired yesterday and we are now back at home. The washing machine is running and I am trying to get my house back in order.

I have so much to do today. I guess I should get to it.

Thanks again to everyone for the sweet comments and the prayers. I know they made all the difference.
