Good Morning,

As you may have noticed I have not posted for a few days. I can't remember if I posted that Callie had surgery on Tuesday to remove her tonsils and adenoids. Callie has been staying with us since she had surgery, it is nice to have her at home. Callie's worst day of pain so far was yesterday, I think she slept too late and missed taking her medication on time.

Last night Callie cooked with me and it was so neat having her next to me cooking with me, I have missed those days. I miss the days when all the kids were living at home, they grew up and got the heck outa here faster than I could've ever imagined, who would have thought I would miss the days when the house was bustling with my kids and their friends... But I digress

About me,

this next few weeks is going to be busy. Mom and I are going to go gambling on Saturday! We always have a good time even when we loose, which is more often than not! I wish my siblings could come with us, I guess I should ask them!

Graduate school begins on January 21st, I am excited to be going back so I can learn more about counseling and know it will benefit me and help me to be a better counselor. I have to admit I feel ready for school to start but am apprehensive about the unknown. I'm worried it about how difficult the courses will be and once again juggling work, school and home life after having a long break from school.

An exciting venture will occur January 26 through the 29th when my co-worker and friend Arnie and I get to go to Colorado Springs for Psychotherapy Associates Convention. I know we will learn a lot but I can bet were also going to have a great time! It is a little frightening because Arnie and I think  a lot alike, we have been calling ourselves Thelma and Louise! Haha

Well that is all for now we will see what the day brings, if the grandchildren visit today I may have more to post later today. God Bless!


For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7

Good morning last night I awoke afraid for my life! Before going to bed I watched Dr. Phil, his guests had survived thier home being invaded and their both being shot in the head.

Well I was sound asleep and at 12:30 am. I woke up and what do I see? No it was not santa, it was a flashlight beam in the living room! I sat up in bed and said hello? No answer, I begin to panic as the flashlight beam moves in my direction! Again I say hello and my daughter Callie answered me. I told her she scared the you know what out of me! Callie laughed and apologized.

Callie was supposed to meet me this morning to take her to the hospital to have her tonsils taken out,Callie decided to come over last night instead but I didn't know that!

Please keep Callie in your prayers I'm certain she is going to have a few rough days ahead of her as she recuperates. P.S. I think I'm still recuperating from last night!

Isaiah 12:2 Surley God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.

Good afternoon,

I got to have Eli spend the night last night, we got to spend nice quality time together, we played Candy Land and Eli made up the rules as we went( reminds me of his daddy!). Eli woke up scared @ 5:30 am. I was hoping he would go back to sleep but nope it was not in the cards. It was nice to have him cuddle with me though.

It is very cold outside and is supposed to be even colder tomorrow. I don't mind the cold so much when I don't have to go out in it! I'd wish it was spring but I don't think I would appreciate the spring as much if it did not follow winter. Plus it annoys me when people wish their lives away. Always wishing it were a different season or different day. I can't say I'm not guilty of it myself, maybe that is why it annoys me so?

I noticed the link to my blog on Facebook my last name is spelled wrong the t is missing, but on the blog site under my information it is spelled correct so I don't know what the heck. I just want you to know I'm not a moron and didn't spell my own name wrong. I will have to see how it is spelled when I link to this post ; ) If it is wrong I don't know how to fix it so it may stay that way awhile.

Luke 6:3 " Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over; will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Good Morning to myself, seems weird to begin a blog that no one is reading yet then again I may be the only person who ever reads this blog. I was going to start a paper journal but after writing one page decided to start a blog instead because typing is so much easier to read and faster to do! If only I can remember my name and password!

This blog will not be about any one specific thing just sharing pieces of my day to day life with those who are curious and want to read my blog. I will be blogging about my life including; family, work, school, hobbies etc. Time spent with family and friends.

Today I began the day reading a daily devotional on worry I learned the biblical word for worry is a compound of two Greek words, merizo (to divide) and nous (the mind). Other points I found particularly helpful were Matthew Verse 6:34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it's own things." Verse two of the twenty third psalm states, " he leads me beside still waters." Max Lacudo points out...He leads me. " God is not behind me yelling " Go!" He is ahead of me bidding, "Come."

Yes I am a worrier these verses remind me to stay in the now along with the AA phrase, " One day at a Time!"

I think I'm off to a good start despite not knowing exactly what I'm doing or how to actually blog. If anyone reads my musings I hope they somehow find them beneficial.
