Slow Saturdays

I have forgotten what a slow kinda rainy saturday was like.Lingering with coffee in the mornings with no reason to get up!Slowly getting dressed and cleaning kitchen. Not having any housework or chores to do. WOW yeah I know I actually just ignored what needs to be done. LOL Spending time window shopping by myself with no interruptions.And finding a great deal on a adorable bird bath. I took the time to look for ideas for decorating the tables for muffin and mana tea coming up Grocery shopping slow and actually reading some labels and looking at new stuff to consider for meals. I also caught up on all my Facebook games today too,that was fun too.

I am sure the next few weeks are packed with plans and work.Hubby's travel schedule is a nightmare and have sons moving back home from college. So appreciating today is awesome and much needed.

Unfortunatly hubby's Uncle died this morning, such ashame as he was quite young.Cancer is such a evil thing. We are greatfull that he lived many more years then we expected,that was a blessing for his family.I am already struggling with my dad's one year anniversary of his death coming up having to be strong and help family out with this loss is hard for me.Maybe it would not be so bad if hubby's dad was not declining so fast on us. Nursing home is quite concern on this lost of weight since there.We know he eats we watch him clean his plate at every meal we keep him well stocked in candy and snacks. He has such a sweet tooth.Either way there is no telling how much longer we have with him too. Such a hard season of life right now.

New Job

So I have this exciting new job and going thru lots and lots of training. The job itself is not complicated or hard to do. It is the system and the programs and such. It also does not help that my training is not in the same hospital I will be working in. I just pray that this is the right job for me and that I will be very sucessfull at it.

I sure have been real busy! I was so lucky that I have found a part time job. Doing all the training is real tireing but I am having so much fun. I pray that I will do really well.I will be on my own the first of May so need to learn everything I can and become comfortable with the camera etc..
There has been more "drama" here.It seems like as soon as I become involved in MIL's life sister in law goes off the deep end.She explodes over the dumbest things. She really needs help and I pray she does. I so wish that the newest solution for MIL will work out and just maybe things will settle down and we will find a new normal. Atleast beable to spend time with her.

My poor sister got a beautiful new bedroom suite after waiting almost 30 years to buy for themselves. Her daughters dog who is living with sis had a bit of fun. Seems the door was left open and the dogs ball fell between bed and mattress, I have not seen pictures but understand that the whole corner is torn up pretty bad. Wood etc.. what ashame i sure hope she is able to get it fixed. I also hope her husband will not be too upset about it.

The weather has been so nice summer is just around the corner now. I am not sure I want the hot weather yet. I started a new plant adventure this year.Growing tomatoes upside down in buckets! Just like a hanging basket!I saw those store bought contraptions and thought surely there is away to do this without spending extra money. A simple google and presto using 5 gallon buckets you can do the same thing.So far i have several baby maters growing. If I ever figure out how to post some pictures I will do it.

Happy Easter!

Oh what a wonderful day, celebrating Jesus who died and rose again today for me and you. All the pain and suffering for me, and you. I know I am not worthy but oh so greatful.

Was blessed to worship the Lord at our church with all three of my boys. I sure wish my daughter was here but understand that the miles between us keep us apart.Lunch at mom's went ok it is always so hard to be at Mom's after dad's death.

I so wish I could recall if Dad fell on April 4th or if we took him to the ER on the 4th. Either way April a year ago was a long dreary painful month. I found myself in heart wrenching tears on friday realizing that my wonderful dad has been gone a year in May. I could not fathom how I have survived without him for a whole year?How I so miss him and his stories ( long winded and always the same ones LOL) but oh how I would love to hear just one more. I am so glad that as May 4th gets closer I have lots of plans to keep me busy.

Anyway as we stop and rememeber our Lord and celebrate all that he has done for us. Take time to be with your family and tell them how much you love them.

March wind

So finally find some time to buy a couple of flowers for the bare emtpy flower pots on the porch. Run to my favorite big box store and nearly got blown away! I am talking hang on to your hats and everything else wind! Blew my way home and begin to toil in the soil. Oh my that was so much fun. There is nothing better than the first time of the season to play in the dirt. To reflect on the promise of new beginings,watching seeds grow and thrive it is so amazing. My husbands grand dad Papa use to tell me let those kids eat some dirt it is good for them . Ha never figured out why. Has you can see I absoulty love to garden. I so miss the old house we had a big veggie garden that grew the best tomatoes around. Use to have to fight off the mockingbirds and the squirrels them seem to be a bit greedy,I was willing to share but I wanted some too! Those maters were the best home grown,my dad use to love them. He would make a ride up just to get some and of course a hug from the grandkids. I still have some planting to do but the wind is worse now than before,not sure I could stay put with out being blown over the fence and down the street. Well we know spring is here because of the wind so a warm up should be around the corner! I am ready.

2.There will be no dishes left in the sink or counter before I go to bed.I also have to prepare the coffee pot and give my dogs a treat before I can head upstairs.

3.I am really a homebody and considered quite boring as a person.

4.Yes I am a nerd ( my kids said so) I do play Face Book games and spend way too much time on the laptop then I should.

5.I like to have dinner by 6 pm other wise I can get cranky.

6. I love to read romance novels and magazines.

7.I struggle to speak up when I should,but have no problem speaking up when I should not. Foot in mouth disease here.

10.So what else would you like to know about me?

what a week!!

Goodness it sure has been a wild and weird week for us. So first day of spring break brings with it a broken down truck 2 hours away from home. Determined that the truck is dead and needs to be shot we must now retrieve the left items in it and come back. Now what do we do to replace our son's truck? Well that is and was a good question. It took untill today to finally have it some what settled. And now 2 new cars and a much bigger payment each month. God I pray we did the right thing.

Also we had our 27th wedding anniversary on friday. Spent it looking at cars and a quick dinner out. Sigh not very romantic huh.

Too boot we hardly spent any time with our kids. I feel so bad about that. One boy was sick all week and was content to lay and play video games. I am so tired now and need another week off to recoup from this week. No real relaxing or chillin for us.

Always something going on or breaking isnt that the way it is suppose to be? So trying to depend on the Lord to help us make the right chocies and to help lead us in the right directions. I am so greatful for the week and the time we did have even with all the hassles and issues the Lord gave me many blessings.

First Day of Spring Break

After having a great morning out shopping and lunch with my bff.Drama has returned to my life. We went a whole week with out any believe that is a record for us. Boys took a trip to a college look see and one of the trucks broke down. As always I start to panick and freak out. What should we do what can we do. Oh wait they have sons girl friend with them they have to get back tonight.

Well the boys were awesome and did everything right. Getting the truck towed and to a proper shop etc..Driving back in other boys car. Yes not exactly planned two trips this week but that is what has been dealt to us. We hope and pray it is nothing real expensive like everyone else money is tight.

So trying to recall what was taught this sunday at church. It is not about me it is about how i can minister to others. How I need to set my perspectives upwards and keep postive.So I sit here and try not get upset and realize that things will work out and that the Lord is watching over us. He did get them to where they needed to be before the truck broke down.They are safe.So we can depend on the Lord to help us thru this crisis and that we will have just enough to pay for any repairs.

Discovering God in Surprising places was the sermon name. So I am looking.

Getting Started

I always wanted to write about things and my day. I have been told that so much drama goes on in my life I should write a book. This should give me a outlet and help me explore the idea.

This should be a great new adventure.
