But now you will have insight on how my silly mind works. Hubby and I went to go see Courageous last night. It was an amazing movie and I loved it. I am very blessed that our school offers after school care and as a part of that about once a month they do a Parents Night Out from 5-10pm. Now you have to pay for it separately but it is super cheap.
i suppose it was the movie talking about father's but it gave me nightmares about my own father. Yes the only dreams about my dad are nightmares. ...

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re ...

I have never been one of those moms. I know how annoying they can be. Or how annoying everyone perceives them to be. However now I have to put this down because well it is amazing.
Let me preface this by saying both of my kids are very smart. They always have been. My DD made straight A's all last year. So far I have no trouble with either one with homework. As a matter of fact Ali loves homework and could not wait to get it. So much in fact that she began doing her extra credit homework ...

Last weekend I went to the Women of Faith Conference in Kansas City, MO. I was gone from Thurs night until Sunday night but the kids and DH came to Joplin and we spent the day there together on Sunday afternoon.
Today hubby is working, and doesn't seem like he will be finished anytime soon and I miss him.
Doesn't help that the night before last he spent talking with a friend, and last night I was at a Woman's Rally at our church.
My pain level has been absurd the last couple ...

"Beautiful Disaster"

She loves her momma's lemonade
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears that there's no difference between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees makes her cry

She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught ...

I know sometimes life gets hard and this has not been the best week in the world. But I have to say how incredibly blessed I am. My husband has been so amazing! First there was Ali's birthday that he pretty much had to do himself because of my colonoscopy was the day before. Then the next week we had our Pumpkin party which he again was amazing at getting together. Then he has been such a help with my trying to work. On Monday I forgot to pack a fork and salad dressing and he took his lunch to bring ...

I was poor I was weak
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of help

I was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave yourself away...

(Chorus)
That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

Now I'm filled by a love

I knew when I started my job on Thurs that it wasn't my dream job. It was telemarketing after all. However a job is a job and I need a job. Things have been too tight with the too warm fall.
One of the first rules was a little bit of a concern "No missing work for the first 90 days. You miss you lose your job". Ok I will cross that bridge when or if I get there. If there is an emergency and I have to chose between you and my kids (or my DH losing his 26 dollars an hour) well, you ...

a new way of life. Tomorrow I start working M-F 8:30-4 and 2 Sat a month 9-2. I am so happy to be out of the house and not being home alone all day. I am so excited about bringing in some income. I am already mentally planning to Christmas shop.
Richard's work has been slow this fall so far due to the temperatures being so warm. Of course now it is so cold, so hopefully it will pick up. I however am tired of never feeling like we have enough money and one short week is going to set us back ...

This song speaks to me about me. How long do us women try and try to be something that we are not?

I think I have finally found the motivation to lose the weight I need to lose. Getting healthy. I have two beautiful children who love and need me.
I have learned to love myself, no matter what. Or am still learning. Now I am ready to live my life and live it as long as I can.
I am currently at the lowest weight I have been since way before ...
