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!

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...
