Blessed

I just need to list my blessings....

Five months of unemployment. Really! I have learn so much and realized that there is so much in life that is pointless, trivial and just a plain waste of money.   Although it didn't keep me from buying the Cricut did it :)  

Marks new job.

Relocation package in this time of economic craziness. Never expected it and yet so blessed (even though it will be taxed) to get something.

Living below our means for years. Which isn't always fun, but really has paid off the last five months.

After five months of unemployment we still have money in savings. PRAISE!

I don't have to go back to work, HUGE BLESSING. I would if I had too, but so blessed to be a wife and mom that works "from" home.

The friends that help you put stickers on your junk to sell.

For the friend that always comments on my blog or the friends that email me an encouraging word.

The friend that saves you bubble wrap.

The friend that understands the importance of House.  

The friend that organizes a box drop off.

The friend that sends me flair.

The friend willing to take vacation time to help you move.

My realtor that called us back while she is on her 20 year anniversary Hawaii trip.

The realtor in Alabama that told me she would pray for our relocation to be a blessing to my family. Um, that would NEVER happen here! NEVER!

Free antibiotics at Publix. Madison as two ear infections and some lung issues right now. She hasn't had to be on antibiotics since November of 2006. Wow! That is a blessing too, healthy kids.

So many more blessings.  This entry would be so long.  Blessed beyond measure!

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

One Word Can Actually Make a Difference

I choose not to work. I do understand that people don't have a choice and have to work outside of the home for a pay check to buy food and shelter.  One parent in my house must work. I also feel some don't really have to work and choose to work for luxury items.  I have talked to people that say there is no way they could be a stay at home parent and choose to go to work. Why do we as parents belittle each other in our choices.  Recently on Facebook (some say a necessary evil, but I think it is just evil) A parent commented   "...for the parent that actually works".  Wow, only one word makes that sentence sting.  I try not to let these words on Facebook hurt me or give them a second thought but I am a wordy person and I think about words.  The sentence takes a different tone if it was written, "for the parent that works".  The word "actually" implies negative things to those that don't work. For the parent that works I understand that a 30 ...
