Writers Block

I am having a writer’s block for the past two weeks; I have nothing to write about.  All is well, we busy preparing for Christmas, enjoying every minute of it. Once it get a topic to write about, I will come back here and post it...until then I'll be leaving comments on your post :)

Many Years to Cheyenne!

I am totally putting Brittany's information out there, but today is her daughter's 2nd birthday and Cheyenne is one of the cutest n sweetest little girl! May God grant Cheyenne many wonderful happy years!!

Random Post about nothing but life

I couldn't think of a title for this post, I just want to let you know where I am and what I have been doing.  So there no real point to this post which makes it random however I have been living life to the fullest these past two weeks so that's how I got the title to my post.  And you know what I like it. 

Ok where have I been the last two weeks: Well before Thanksgiving, I have been cooking and cleaning.  I prepared just about 99% of the meal.  After dinner I joined my sister and went out black Friday shopping. I didn't buy much; I just enjoy spending 6 hours in the freezing cold with my sister.  I am not being sarcastic either; it's rare when we can spend time together without the children, so we take advantage of it.

On black Friday during the day time hours :) we took all the children to the polar express train ride, Monkey just loved it.

The next day DH and I took Monkey to see his first movie in a theater, once again he was amazed.  Also his first time having popcorn and a sip of soda. 

Then to end a perfect weekend, my best friend Tiffany, welcomed her first child, a GIRL :) Please welcome Sophia Grace, who stole my heart the minute I held her.

Wordless Wednesday

I love his smile

Happy Thanksgiving

I am sorry for the delay and absent, it's been a busy week at my house, just want to wish everybody a wonderfully Thanksgiving from our family to yours

you would have laugh at me

but this morning I left the house with my work bag, Monkey's book bag, my lunch, library books, my heels (wear slippers while driving), and my cup of hot lemon water.  And yet I am still surprise that I usually forget something before I lock the door. 

Wordless Wednesday

I know I'm like 3 weeks late, you love me

I'm a jersey devil, I have the big hair, lots of accessories, and fake uggs :) also the momma to the right is Danielle :)

Thank you for your prayers

My friend Danielle and her baby are doing great, the surgery was a success and she is now on strict bed rest till February. 

It has been a hard weekend for me but ending on a sweet note, Monkey rubbing my best friend, Tiffany's belly saying it's a "your belly is full" then Monkey gave his guess on what the baby will be, he's guess is girl :).  The next time I will see Tiffany is when she will be in the hospital.

To My Angel

I don't look at today as 4 years since we meet and said good bye, I look at today as we are 4 years closer to saying hello

Love you forever,
Your momma

Working on that Spark

bMy DH came home from night school as I was emptying the dishwasher and reloading it, it was around 10pm and the kitchen was still a mess from dinner, I had a rough night with Monkey so I just started to cry a little.  We all know that cry, where you are too tired to stand but can't sit still.  He asked me what’s wrong, I told him I was tired, that I don't get to sit down till after 10 and he is just watching me clean.  I hate that.  I told him I need help with the house (saving you a lot of details, I am sure you know this argument/plea just as well as yours prayers) and the outcome is DH will now be making half to most of the dinners in our house.

I also told him that I miss him.  My DH goes to school two nights a week, thank the Lord this is his last year. I get like this ever few months while he is in school. So for now on I will be getting up at 5:30 to help make lunch with DH so we can have some one-on-one time.

I love my husband!

Prayers Please

One of my good friends, Danielle, is 6 month pregnant and is having a hard time keeping their first baby "in", they are going to try a risky surgery that will in simplest terms sew her back up and hopefully with bed rest she can carry their baby boy for another few more months.

Please pray when you fight

It is easy to pray for someone when they are sick but it’s harder to pray for someone when you disagree with them.  I have to remind myself this continually, you think after a few years this would come naturally but for me it doesn’t.    

October's Food Bill

Ok this month was better than last night, for the entire month of October I spent $424.24 on grocery and saved $283.30 (43%) I actual saved an extra $100 in October than September 

Last October I spent $475

Last Month I spent $443

My budget this month was $425 but my goal was $400 (I was under budget by 76 cents!)

Next month's budget is $450 and goal is $400, I increased the amount due to lent and the holidays

Psalm of David

My daily read today was Psalm (6:1-10) of David in regards to his anger, fear and sin.  I usually don’t post my thoughts and understanding on the Scriptures but David is like all of us.  Sometimes we feel the Lord is punishing us for our sin when in fact we are the ones pushing God away from us.  We think God turned his back on us because that is what most people do to another person. We must remember God in not human, we can always call on Him, He will always be there.

Happy Halloween

On tihs sopt in 1708, the rseidnets of Grave's End fuoght a btatle agiasnt the priate Captain E. Ville Dewar and his wckied cerw. The btatle wnet on for tirheten dyas and edend Octoebr 31, wehn the ctizeins sank thier sihp. Smoe say the veengful Captain apaeprs ervey Haloleewn to cuase msicheif in the twon. Msot cizitnes rfesue to bleeive in the ghsot leegnd, clalnig it "nnonesse."

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

My thoughts on halloween

has changed.  I used to be all about trick or treating and now I rather knock on the few doors on my street and call it a day.  I'm not cool with the thought of Monkey knocking on standers doors and eating their candy.  But I know Monkey will love to give out candy, maybe I can spin Halloween around and teach him it's better to give than receive!

What do you do for halloween?

Jury Duty?

I have jury duty for the first time ever! I am having a hard time with this, I do not judge anybody period!  Who am I to say if someone is innocent or not? In my eyes everyone is innocent, that person could have a real good reason to commit t a crime.  I am not the one to judge, God is.  Now these poor people's fate is in my hands. 

Let's also not overlook that I don't like to hear disturbing details, no lie horror movies gives me nightmares.  If movie doesn’t have a happy ending, I will probably cry, followed by DH reminding me that these are actors and everybody is really ok.  But it's the grueling plot and details that get me so upset, the thought of somebody thinking of these disturbing movies (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) just send chills up my spin.

Needless to say I have been praying for weeks that this will be better than expected.  Any tips or advice on how I can get through this with a clear conscience?

Wordless Wednesday: Pumpkins
