Changed my mind several times today at what I wanted to write…It is not a regular thing to change my main focus but it does occur…Believe it or not…It takes a lot of work to look and sound as good as I do…Thank You God for making me “ME”
Again, up early today…Hooray for me…That is several days in a row…Took my daughter with me this morning because I had to get my blood drawn and she wanted to go with me…The new person drawing blood at my Dr.’s office was someone I use to work with at my previous job…I honestly believe God gave me this opportunity and put this person in my life for me to show my calm and peaceful spirit…I had two options when this past co-worker asked me what I have been up to…I could of told her what happened and all the negative things at my past job or I could have spoken about the happiness and joy in my life currently…Over the past year and a half, I have run into several different past coworkers from this job and have also talked to a few on Facebook…It seems every time I had focused on the negative in my life…My frustration with my previous employer…My discouragement when I had to withdrawal from college and the desperation in my life to have financial freedom…This time though, I choose to focus on the positive and all the good things in my life…Thank You God for having a daughter to spend time with…
So when I was asked, “what have you been up to”??? I replied, “I am a full-time mom, no longer pursing a degree in Nursing but I am looking into other options”…I also mentioned that I get to enjoy spending time with my kids and being a wife and mommy…It felt much better to leave that office only showing the joy God has brought into my life instead of rethinking and rehashing what I should have and shouldn’t have said…Thank You God for giving me this opportunity to share your light with someone else…
Did some banking, then I was on my way home to cook, clean, fold laundry, make phone calls and so much more of daily routine tasks…Woke the boys up when I got home and gave them 30 minutes to get ready, eat breakfast and wake up…I had my mind-set on getting schoolwork done today…We have not done school the past two days because we have just been too busy to sit down and focus on it…That though is the beauty of homeschooling…We will always catch them up over the summer…We make our school life work around our family life…It is a beautiful thing when it balances out…Sharks, spelling, math, reading and some catch up materials…I was able to even get dinner in the crock pot before 10:30 this morning and still do dishes and help the kids with their schoolwork…I absolutely love it, when it all blends together in a nice organized fashion…Thank You God for the chance to work our life around each other’s lives…
I am on a roll here folks…Vegetable soup for two nights… Potato soup for two nights and chili tonight and tomorrow…Everyone ate all their dinner tonight…Makes me so happy and proud when others enjoy what I have prepared…The crock-pot is an amazing thing…I have vegetable soup and potato soup in the freezer…Enough to feed the kids two nights in a row…Wow, this is what I have always wanted to have…Dinner, leftovers and dinner for another night…All with one meal…Tried a new chili recipe and it was delicious if I say so myself…A dozen corn bread cooked in the oven and top our bowls with Cheddar cheese, sour cream and some crackers…Our bellies our full…Thank You God for the time and energy to cook for my family…
We also made it to the library tonight…My hubby stayed home and worked on painting our living room…Remember that blue paint I found for $5.00 a can…It looks beautiful on my wall…So much better than an ordinary beigy, eggshelly, off-white color…Yes, I did make up 2 of those words myself…It is my blog though and I am allowed to make up words…The kids and I spent 2 hrs hanging out at the library…My youngest and I played checkers…I am a sore loser though…He outsmarted me so quickly…He was able to watch the whole board and I didn’t pay attention to where his checkers were and I lost…I found some really cool videos in the education section about all the things we are currently studying…My oldest son did some schoolwork while at the library too…He is learning about air pressure and names of things that deal with weather…I am trying to teach them how to research but just sticking to finding out a name or answer a question…I want them to be comfortable with researching without being overwhelmed…My daughter and youngest son found some I Spy books…My youngest son is really good at these too…He was just sitting on the bed with me with one of those books…He found those items so quickly and I was still looking for just one…We had to leave because it was late and I really didn’t want to get caught in Rush-Hour traffic…Thank You God for the ability to see and read so I can enjoy the Library and all it has to offer…
We still had to go to the grocery store and pick up a few things…Why does a few things always end up being more than 5…Every time…We did get some fresh chocolate cookies and Chocolate covered Cherry Blue Bell Ice-Cream for dessert…Will be getting a bowl after I am done writing…Yummy, Yum, Yum…It was cold, snowy, windy and sleeting…I could not wait to get home to my warm, cozy, painted, chili smelling house and watch some tv with a bowl of ice cream…Thank You God for heat and the invention of Ice-Cream…
My youngest had therapy this afternoon…It is kinda of sad though…His home therapist is leaving the company to move on to bigger and better things…Her last meeting at our house will be next week…After she left my husband and I began to talk about all the things positive she did bring into our lives and our entire family…All the options and ideas she brought to the table to help our family become more productive, happier and more peaceful…Many session were spent her listening while my husband and I just vented about all of our frustrations ..She would listen and offer advice as needed…It wasn’t even 2 months ago though, that my husband and I were having second thoughts about telling her we no longer needed her service…We were trying to figure out a way to tell her without being rude…My husband and I during this time were feeling very overwhelmed and believed there was nothing that could be done to help our youngest…We felt like we were on our last leg…Somehow, Someway God placed it in our hearts to have us not follow through with quitting home therapy… We are glad that we didn’t…The therapist has brought some joy into our family and helped us to sort through things that are helpful and not helpful for our son…Thank You God for placing this woman into our lives…
That is all for now…I know it was a book to read but I want to share the exciting things in our lives to encourage others that by remaining faithful…God will always find a way to bless you and sometimes you may not realize that blessing until it has passed you by…
Sleep Tight…Rejoice that you are alive and Acknowledge God for all he has done and all he is going to do…
My majestic Leader…I will follow you wherever you go…
