Days like today UGH

For the most part I lead a very happy satisfied life. Yes I wish I had more at times and then there are days like today.

Nothing has gone right today. Nothing major has happened, just a lot of little stuff. I think mostly it's because I have not had any time to myself in more then 3 weeks. Everyone needs a little down time to do what they wish. Even 30 min would and could do a world of good.

I keep having to remind myself to just take a deep breath and breathe, slowly and relax. It's not working very well though.

I really do love my kids, grandchildren and great granddaughter, I really do love my kids, grandchildren and great granddaughter, I really do love my kids, grandchildren and great granddaughter, I really do love my kids, grandchildren and great granddaughter... I think if I keep reminding myself of this maybe it will go better.

I just needed to rant today, I really would like to just scream but I won't. Maybe a good cry would help???? No then my eyes will get all puffy. I don't even think "Calgon take me away" would work.

Well tomorrow is another day. I hope everyone has a good one and stays safe and smiles. God loves you!!

Thanksgiving 2011

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family this year. We had lots of good food and everyone enjoyed themselves. Randi was happy and running around to everyone and grazing off their plates. Well until she spotted the bowl of black olives, then that all ended. She grabbed the bowl, got up on a chair and ate the whole bowl. She would put them on her fingers then eat them off. Her mother used to do the same thing along with my girls. We will be going over to my mothers later today to have leftovers. Yum Yum always good the next day.

Randi had not taken a nap all day yesterday because she was just to excited to see everyone. By the time we got home she was pretty tired but it was to late to put her down for a nap and to early to put her to bed. So we did the next best thing, we turned on Spongebob Square Pants for her on the TV. BobBob is her favorite thing to watch. She was perfectly content to sit in her chair with her feet up with her sippy cup of juice and watch her favorite show and relax after a long fun filled day.




I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

Attitude of Gratitude

I have many things to be grateful for. Sometimes you take those things for granted. You don't mean to but life happens.

I have been busy it seems lately just living life. Between babysitting and taking care of daily things, time just gets away from you.

My granddaughter and great granddaughter are now living with me. I am happy she has left her boyfriend as he is not a very nice person to put it mildly. You don't have to be physically abused to be abused. Verbally can also be a bad thing. I hope she sticks with it this time. She needs to focus on her daughter and make a better life for both of them. I wish I had the answers but I don't.

I am grateful for the still half way decent weather we have been having. I am keeping my fingers crossed we don't get bombarded with snow for a long time. I know living in Northern Indiana you can expect snow but I can still hope it delays happening.

I am grateful that my cousin Dale is doing well after having to have a defibrillator put in a little over a month ago. He is back to work now and getting stronger every day. He still worries over little twinges he gets because he ignored these twinges before and he ended up in the hospital. But it will take time and he will get through this and continue to enjoy life.

I am grateful for my own health and my families. Everyone at the moment seems to be healthy and well.

I am grateful for the many blessings I receive daily. I am grateful for my faith. I am grateful for the Priesthood and the keys they hold. I am grateful for the friends I have. I am grateful for the many opportunities I have and the ability to do the things I want. I am grateful for the freedom I have to explore the opportunities and religion as I see fit.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful life experience. Please take time to enjoy life.
