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!

NaNoWriMo & Peeps

peeps pēps/ noun  informal people (often used to refer to a person's friends or associates). "thanks for the feedback, peeps!" If you choose to do NaNoWriMo you have got to explain to the ones you love and cherish what you are doing in November. The more warnings the better. I told my husband a year before I started NaNoWriMo that I wanted to   do a month writing challange and explained the details. I didn’t talk about it all year but once October came around I started to talk more about NaNoWriMo. I talked about it so much my second year that my kids wanted to do NaNoWriMo too.   It was fun to do some writing prep with my kids.   My oldest has already set a goal for this year.  If you have kids you should check out the  Young Writers Program .  They can set word goals. I like encouraging my kids to write with me. It might even help me justify writing on Saturday and Sunday when I have a kid or two a...

"Normal"

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge . This past year has been something else to say the least. From October to October, okay not quite a year but WOWSER! Didn't see that freight train coming. I have to reflect. I have been reading my blog entries going back to October of last year. Part of me can believe it has been a year since all this started and part of me feel like it was forever ago. Daily I have to turn my cares over to the Lord, carry my cross and trust with a faith that can move mountains. Recap~ October 2008 ~ The company Mark is contracting for is a pool company and is really feeling the effects of the economy and crisis and has to cut back. Mark was not the first to go but his time is up the first week of October. November 2008 ~ hint of a job in Raleigh NC. The person hiring has to wait until January to see if they get a contract or not. Very surprised at the lack of jobs in the Tampa area...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...
