Blogging is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I mean, compared to other work (like the work my husband is doing), it's pretty easy. I guess I just haven't figured out the right balance of time or something. It's a slow process, while trying to get used to having 3 kids instead of 2.
A couple of amazing things that have happened this year so far, is that we have our address set up! We're getting power to my house next week or so, and propane will follow soon after. We're getting doors this weekend. Hopefully, within the next month, I'll FINALLY be living in my own house!
My husband has started training to be an EMT, which has been a big deal for him, I'm glad he gets the opportunity to use the talents that God gave him, for helping other people. But I've been functioning as a mostly single mom since he started.
I've noticed that. I also noticed that you're trying very hard to do your best. I hope your hubby realizes what an amazing wife he has.

I feel that it's a good excuse to get yourself a little bit of chocolate, preferably the day or two after when it all goes on sale. (I know that's technically not a feeling, but it's advice I plan to follow)

^^^ I'm going to buy myself flowers to keep at my desk. And if people say "Oh did someone get you flowers?" I can say "Yeah. I did."

Anyone else ever had one of those days when you are rather disgusted with yourself for acting like someone so far from who you aspire to be? Yep feeling rather imperfect today, and afflicted with a bit of perfectionism. (And no it's nothing seriously bad, just an annoying co-worker that I don't want to have to deal with and I let a bunch of junk food into my house).

Depending on the quality of said junk food, I will be happy to take care of that problem for you. :D

I have good taste, but I eat junk food. But it has to be GOOD junk food - I'll eat cheetos, but the off-brands taste blah. I'll eat snack cakes, but only the ones that don't taste like only sugar, vegetable shortening and flour. I'll eat cinnamon-sugar pecans, but I won't eat m&ms because they don't taste like real chocolate.

Someone sent me white roses on valentines before. It was a rare phenomenon that my nasty co workers said I bought the flowers and have it delivered to myself. Maybe they were joking but I did'nt care. And I did not go out with the guy who sent the flowers because I did not want to. Flowers don't work sometimes.

Flowers...

Stream of consciousness about flowers: I like flowers because they are always the same. Whether there is a crowd around or they are alone, whether someone is admiring, disparaging or ignoring them, they are the same. They don't change their appearance to something they think will be more pleasing when someone walks in the room. (And for the smart-alecs who are about to say "How do you know if you're not there to see them change? I think security cameras would have caught them changing by now.) They don't make a skunk odor and then change it quickly to something more appealing when a person comes by. Flowers are flowers.

That's one of the reasons I like a lot of flowers better than I like a lot of people. Many people, you never know if you're seeing the real person and you never know what they will become when you leave the room.

Very well said.

Also, you can keep flower petals after they are dead and dried and crunchy and frame them or put them in a vase. Typically frowned upon if you did that with people, so I like flowers more for that reason as well.

I read a piece of paper of someone's name, someone whom I have not seen in nearly a year.
As you guessed, I saw him shortly thereafter. I was hoping to see him, but I did not place emphasis in prayer to talk with him again.

Tonight is the Super Bowl. I don't care but I do like the commercials.

You can watch the commercials without watching the super bowl. There are whole websites devoted to super bowl commercials. They even have them sorted into first, second, third and fourth quarter commercials.

I know, but my Brother has us over every year to watch, so I end up watching some of it anyhow.

Well maybe they'll be able to keep the power on this year. And probably nobody will do any body exposing onstage. Although I heard my aunt say lady gaga is going to do the halftime show, but she also said the theme is USA and patriotic stuff.
