I didn't realize how much we would enjoy date night. We don't go "out" because we don't know many people around to leave Bri with. So we started date night at home. (Great ideas at Dating Divas See link on sideboard)
Every Friday night we spend time together. Bri gets something new to watch and a treat to eat. We watch tv, a movie, or just talk. We really look forward to it.
Bri is really good about spending the evening in her room to let Mom and Dad have the night together. I have helped pave the way for this by Daddy and Bri night on Saturday nights. They eat dinner together and watch tv, play a game, or watch a movie. If I am not at work, I use this as Mommy time. I read magazines, take a nice bath, crochet, or just go to bed early. Great relaxing and refueling for me.
I didn't think we needed date night before. But we really look forward to it. One night I was sick and just went to bed. Rooster told me that he was very disappointed. It really makes a difference.
Do you have a date night? What do you like to do? Why don't you have a date night?
Have a great weekend.
Good morning. I hope that you are well today. We are doing ok. Things are about the same here. The way that I look at things are changing. I sat on the steps this morning, enjoyed a nice breeze, and watched the boats on the lake. I am very blessed. Counting those blessings is helping me keep things in perspective. Trying to take one day at a time. Spend a lot of time listening to a really nice Christian station called KSBJ. You can listen to it here: http://www.ksbj.org/
I worked a very long day yesterday. Got some sun and was burned a little. But Rooster had put the Aloe Gel in the refrig and it was wonderfully cold on my back. Very hot here. We saw 86 yesterday. Welcome to Houston weather. LOL
We are gearing up for Mother's Day at work. So I was busy putting hanging basket holders out and putting hanging baskets on them. We got some very beautiful flowers in. I love the rust, peach, and yellow that are out this year.
Came home to a nice dinner made by my Rooster. He made a beef roast, carrots, and potatoes. It was so good. I think it was even better since he made it. Now I understand why he enjoys coming home to dinner being made by me. Plus a nice cup of tea.
Bri is doing better. Rooster has taken her to the pool a few times. That cheers her up. Plus it is good for her to get some exercise. She sleeps better. I am looking at curriculum for fall.
That is about all that is new here. Take care and have a blessed day.
Things here have gone crazy. George was laid off from work. I took a part time job. We got unemployment. Work changed their story and we lost our unemployment. George got a letter telling him he was fired. So here we are.
George pinched his sciatic nerve and will be off a few more weeks. He is in constant pain. We don't have the money to go to the doctor. But there isn't much that a doctor will do except do a MRI, tell us that they can't find anything and put him on drugs for the pain. He will not walk down that drugs for pain road. We don't have the money for the MRI.
I am working at a Home Depot in the Garden department. I like it. I enjoy dealing with customers. It is part time/seasonal. So I get between 20 and 25 hours a week. It has been strange going back to work. I haven't really worked a "real" job since I left the hospital when I found out I was pregnant with Bri. Spent some days really hurting and sore from standing/walking/lifting. Plus I am not use to 8 hour days on my feet. I have to load mulch, pavers, etc same as the guys.
Bri is having some trouble adjusting. Daddy does the education when I have to work. That is a good thing as his forte is science and history. We are trying to make it a positive thing. But she got really upset one day that I had to go to work. I was almost crying all the way to work. But I don't have a choice right now.
I am trying to keep my head up. I pray so much about George getting better, a new job coming up, and getting back to my job at home. I have had some very low days.
I joined a Thursday morning Ladies bible study. In the fall, Bri will be able to join the homeschool bible study. My friend Kirsten invited me and I really enjoyed it.
Would you please take the time to pray for us today? I am trying hard not to let this bring me down. I know worrying is a sin. I am trying not to let Bri worry either.
My email is amymorgan1970@aol.com If you would send me some words of encouragement, I would be so grateful. Some days are worse than others.
Thank you so much.
Haven't tried these products yet, but I really love the name. Check out this site: http://www.cowgirldirt.com/
I love mineral makeup, cream shadows, and light lipsticks. This seems like a great place.
I put in to help name some new shadows. If you sign up for their newsletter, you can get in on the fun!!
Have a very blessed Easter Week!
Well, we have done all the paperwork and stuff for Rooster's unemployment. Now we are waiting for approval. I am trying not to worry and leave it in God's hands.
It is very hard not to worry. So much to think about. I am trying to "Let go and Let God."
Now I am trying to turn my thoughts to Easter Week. What is on your menu, plan, or mind this week?
