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!

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 ...

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 ...

180 Days

Oh sweet summertime, you are missed already.  One of my kids said that the school year is the beginning of a 180 day sentence.  Makes a mother with a teaching degree sad.  I love learning. I don't love the system of education and why I am not a classroom teacher anymore but I understand some of her complaints. I am the mother of a freshman in high school. At a brand new school. No one went to school there ever until a couple of weeks ago.  I told her the first couple weeks could be hard. The plus to being a freshman in a new school is that it is new to everyone. I knew that even though the building cost 75 million to build that things were not going to be ideal.  Boy was I right, I don't always like being right. Some things are a mess.  Some things are getting better each day.  There are things I can not understand and probably will never understand.  Even as a parent that has been a classroom teacher with two degrees in education I can't make...
