Well I have been learning about patience, and unfortunately God has no shortage of ways to teach me lessons.  I am pissed off right now.  I went from having a positive attitude about my day right pack to the "what's the point" attitude.  I decided I would make myself do some Christmas decorating today, something I normally love to do, but as of ( Read more... )

Another old guy ran over people at a Christmas parade.  I understand wanting your independence for as long as possible but why did this guy still have his license!?

I saw Things We Lost in the Fire last night.  SUCH a good movie.  It was different than I expected, but those of you who have an affiliation with AA, NA, Al-Anon or another group ( Read more... )

Well I have a cold, it's annoying but I think I am finally starting to get better.  I need to make the best of the next few days I have off to give the house a serious cleaning, do laundry and get stuff ready to list on eBay.  Ultimately this is round one of preparing for Christmas decorations and the visit from my folks.  I dread doing laundry ( Read more... )

So I got a new laptop.  I was badly in need of a new computer since mine died on me.  I had a temporary one I borrowed from my dad but I have wanted a laptop FOREVER (or as my husband points out - ever since my mom got one in 2000).  With my husband working 3rd shift and our desktop being in our bedroom (really no where else for it to be).  It was ( Read more... )

I got my tutoring assignments today.  I was relieved I got one of the schools whose tutoring days will work best with Matt's school schedual (and hense our car schedual since we just have the one).  I left for my Al-Anon meeting, which was great.  We had two new people  which is always a blessing to all.  I had forgotten about it until like 45 min ( Read more... )

Pleas pray for my mom.  She is in the hospital she broke a leg.  Being as old as she is and a quadriplegic it is much more serious than it would be for others.  She has brittle bones and would have a much longer recovery time.  She will most likely have surgery sometime tomorrow.  Please pray for the Doctor who is young and needed an explanation as ( Read more... )

I went from feeling relieved & excited to feeling like crap,
just by talking to my mom.

:(

Thanks mom for always providing the proper feeling of inadequacy and disappointment I need.

Saturday I went to the big Replacements Limited Yard Sale.  It reminded me of parking at the Iowa State Fair.  It was crazy, we arrived at 9am not 7am when the whole thing started and it was already packed.  $5 admission and then $5 per box which you could then fill with whatever you liked.  The boxes were too heavy to really carry around with us ( Read more... )

I personally don't patronage anything that depicts my Lord in a blasphemous manner .  But most people don't agree with me on that - how can they when we live it a world where people say "oh my GOD!" all the time with no meaning, where God is only talked about in theory, texted as OMG 9 times a second or preceding a foul pungent rasp of sewage.  No ( Read more... )

I am feeling really lonely today ( Read more... )
