Please, please, please don't question my relationship with God. Heavy issue - I know. In my opinion - be that as it may a little skewed at times - a person's relationship with God is so personal, that not one other person could ever know what it was like. Over the past few weeks, it has been pointed out to me that I probably am not considered a Christian because I don't go to church on a regular basis. One person actually had the nerve to question why I pray, or tell people that I am praying for them? #1 - Church doesn't make me a Christian, my belief and my relationship with God is what makes me a Christian. #2 - Because I have a relationship with God, I know that my prayers are every bit as important and heard by him as someone who is in the pew every service. I have needed to get all that off of my chest for the last few weeks, and now I have and I feel so much better. SHAME ON me - for not turning it over to the heavenly father in the first place and letting him handle it. On a much lighter note - I attended a training today and really had a great time with a wonderful lady who traveled there with me. Oh and my husband forgot to pay the satellite bill and they shut it off. So, a night without TV (american idol specifically) has been quite ....interesting we will say. Watched a dvd, cause we couldn't get the regular local channels to work - and watched the kids play the wii, until bedtime. Now here I sit watching the idol contestants that I really wanted to see on youtube videos and typing on my blog. Guess I should probably go...daughter A will be home soon! Haven't seen her in a few days and I really miss the girl!
Here's to you having more light than heavy days! PH

Jeopardy music...or crickets?
Today was hilarious!
That happened today and you talk about awkward silence! lol I thought at one time I heard crickets. For sho.
Then one of my co-workers asked me a question, and I seriously sit there for a long time (maybe a minute) thinking about my answer. She actually started humming the Jeopardy music! What the heck? haha
Had a pretty dang productive day. But I love when I am around people and they say something that they think is funny, but really isn't, and they sit and wait for your reaction.
Then one of the girls that works for our afterschool program had a wreck on the way to work. She called and was understandably upset. Me and the girlies hopped in the car to go stay with her until her support system (mom and dad) came down to our little town. Felt really badly for her. She was so upset and mad at the same time. I have felt those two emotions all balled up into one myself so I know how it is.
All I could do was to try to talk it out with her so that she wound down a little bit, and I tried to make her laugh. Oh and got her a bottle of water. I try to be such a comforter. Never know if I am doing the right thing or not, but just being there with her till her family showed I know was the right thing.
Speaking of crickets. My community involvement class will be writing and collecting letters of appreciation for and to the local volunteer fire department.
Random I know. That is how my thought process works.
Wild fires are usually lit by ranchers and farmers to burn off the weeds (and kill the bugs) from their farming pastures for cows, pigs, goats, etc...around these parts and we just had some crazy wildfires. found a tick on me tonight...wondered why the cold air and fires didn't kill them. Then I thought - haven't heard a cricket yet (but have bull frogs), so who has to fight those fires? The volunteer squad in town.
TaDuh...you now know how very awkwardly my brain thinks.
PLus I am so sleepy and really don't wanna fall asleep on the couch .... again.
May your next conversation be free of music and nature noises. PH

Woodchucks - GEICO Commercial
One of my all time FAVORITE commercials. I have got to meet the GEICO commercial writers on day!
Enjoy - PH
Time flies!
I just cannot believe that my daughter K will turn into a teenager on Tuesday! Yikes! 3 teenage girls in the house, what on earth will I do.
One thing - I will vow to keep midol and kleenex on hand at all times. Second thing - I will vow to stay in their business at all times and they will probably hate me for it. Third thing - I will vow to keep them busy so they stay outta trouble!
There, with that said I feel much better.
My oldest daughter, A, is starting her first FULL time job this week. She is uncontrollably giddy about it and it makes me very happy to see her excited about something. She is so cute in her little scrub uniform. Told her I was gonna start calling her grey - you know like grey's anatomy? Just as long as she isn't sneaking into any janitor closets and doing what they do in the janitor closets on the show. lol
Had a very busy month so far, but got the CHEER tryouts for my squad out of the way - daughter K tried out for my squad again and MADE IT, daughter R tried out for the varsity squad and oh my gosh! She MADE IT too! Don't be fooled if you don't think that wasn't a huge relief for me, cause we have already been there done that thing where one makes it and one doesn't.
Spring break has come and gone - fast and furious it was! Kids had some friends over, and went over to friends houses...went and watched a movie, out to eat, started and finished a couple of home improvement projects. So, in a couple of ways I am ready to get back to work for some sort of normalcy.
The time change happened during spring break, and although that is probably a good thing - It may be harder to get about and around since we haven't been waking up at our regular time.
TIME FLIES! :) After while y'all - PH

UpS and DoWnS....
Ups and Downs ... we all have them.
Today is one of those down days. Not sure what is making it a down day - perhaps the cold air that has happened to move back in. Or the fact that I am headed to a wedding today and I don't know what to wear.
Another down since I need to get it out of my system. Tired of feeling like I am the only one who does anything around the house. So, from now on, the girls are folding and delivering all the laundry. I told them if I found another folded shirt in the hamper that they would be doing their laundry by themself. I should do that anyway so they maybe cut down on changing clothes three times a day.
So far my diet has been an up and down thing too...not really diggin it. Can't seem to get into a routine on exercise. Been using an app on the iPad to keep a food diary, so I know what's going in. So far I have been on target or under target on the food. Exercise and more water is what I gotta get on board for.
On a more positive note, so my friends don't think I hate weddings, the wedding tonight is an up too! I am sure it will be a very fun night.
Another up is the wood that was left on the back porch can be burned off today cause of the cold air. We were gonna have to stack it off the porch so I am thankful we are able to burn some of it and may just have a couple arm loads to go back out to the wood pile.
Since I seem to be on an "upswing"...dropped our taxes off today. Can't wait to see what happens with them this year. Last year we had to pay. Hoping we have an UP year on those. Can't afford too many DOWN years.
Up note - my blanket is warm, I am gonna take a nap.
Well I am gonna finish on an up note!
