More Randomness

My life is so random lately that so are all my thoughts.  Random thoughts take two...

People seemed to be more worried about the color of Mr. Obama's skin that his morals.

I'm I not content with my life or is God leading us in a new direction? I wonder if my new wants or desires of my heart are there from God. It is very easy to become discontent and I don't want or need to confuse the two.    

Where do you draw the line? 

We spent over 40% less this month on our Visa than months past.  We use our Visa for everything and we always pay it off.  Not going out to eat, No starbucks (I can make a pretty good iced coffee now), no scrap stuff (minus a few things for cards) and trying only buying stuff we need. We saved almost a mortgage payment!  We did do some fun stuff we had Sea World tickets and Christmas presents on the Visa last month, although we didn't NEED them.  It's all about attitude. My new motto is, live like no other so you can live like no other. I want to own my house or a house and that is going to take discipline but the pay off is huge.  100% debt free!   

To go back to work or not to?  There are pluses and minuses with everything.  Of course all the planets would have to align for this to happen.  

Apparently we have a new church service time, 9:30 am.  Many people where still walking in 30 minutes late! One lady actual came in and sat down at 9:41, Danny was already preaching!  I have three kids and I don't think I have ever been more than 10 minutes late into church and sitting down.  I have gotten there right at 9 and had to sign everyone into class but really 9:41 church is over at 10:15.  I just don't understand it.  At what point to you just go to the 11 service? Go out to eat breakfast and be early to 11,  not 41 minutes late to the 9 am service.  

Love your neighbor like yourself.  I will not digress onto a soapbox on how to be neighborly or my ideal perfect neighbor.  

Do we stay or do we go?  This is a harsh reality in my life right now. We might be moving in the near future or at least open to the idea of a relocation.  Mark has to find work eventually. Then there is the question where in the world to you go if you have to move?  The job market is slim picking around here for what Mark would like to do.  It really is in Gods hands and I pray he makes it all crystal clear.  Mark has an interview Wednesday in town.   So waiting is what we do for now.

It's good to get those random thoughts written down, helps clear the mind. Makes us all realize that we are not alone (and neither are you)

P.S. Love your new layout-but woman...it's too early for Christmas!

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our

NaNoWriMo & Supplies

What do you really need for NaNoWriMo?  I like using my Mac and Microsoft Word.  It is that plain and simple. A computer, text editing program and time will get you 50,000 words. Some people do hand write their novel during NaNoWriMo, or so I hear.  I know I will not hand write my novel. Then you have to count all those words. My fingers and hands can't do it.  It is painful to type at times but hand writing is more painful to me.  Plus, my procrastination side will never count handwritten words.  I started to write this blog many hours ago (now yesterday).  It also happens to be the weekend and my computer guy (by computer guy I mean my husband) decided to help me find some storage space on my hard drive today.  I would love a new Mac Book Pro but that is not in the budget and I really don't have time to learn a new computer days before NaNoWriMo. About a week ago I started to get start up memory warnings on my computer. Not what a girl wants to see two weeks before

Mohawk!

    Um, where to start?   I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook.  Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk.  GO RAYS!  I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do.   I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing.  I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend.  It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk.  The girls still have their lovely locks.
