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!

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 ...

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. ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
