Thankful

Everyday I am thankful for my husband.


Today I am especially thankful after talking to a single friend. who wants to casually date just because she's never gotten to. 


I am thankful for not ever have wanting to casually date and for the man I get to go out on a date any 'ole time I want to (budget allowing of course)


I could not have gotten through the last few months, heck weeks without him by my side, much alone with a smile. But I have, and he gives me a smile everyday.

Things I do know

Alot has been happening lately, that should be recorded. Mostly though I've been busy.


I'm trying to figure out what what we're supposed to be gleaning from this situation. Haven't figured it out yet. 


I may not have this whole grown-up/adult thing figured out completely, but there are some things that I knew before and have been confirmed in the last couple of weeks:

• I know when you move that you need to change your address with the post office

• I know when you move you have to inform your various bill companies, including your credit cards of your new address

• I generally know when my bills are due, and how much they're due for.

• I know you can find the phone number to your credit card company on the back of the card.

• I generally know approximatly how much is in our checking account at any given moment

• I know when I get paid

• I know if I pay X bill I'll only have X dollars in my checking account

• I know that X dollars means ill only have X dollars for groceries until I get paid next.

These are things I have either been told to do, or been informed of in the last few weeks. with out going into too much detail, because of our living situation we're having to do financial and job counseling with a couple from our church. I agreed to it because I didn't have a choice and didn't know what to expect.I went into it with an open mind. So far Ive gotten added stress to an already stressful situation and the distinct impression this couple thinks we're lazy idiots.


We've been married for almost 7 years, we know how to take care of business. 99.9% percent of our current situation is not due to the fact that we don't know how to take care of business, it is sheerly lack of income in a horrible economic atmosphere. 


Like Ive said, i'm generally a glass half full kinda gal, but lately I've been struggling and ill be over it eventually. I just need to keep praying and keep working and hopefully sometime soon I'll figure our what He's trying to say to me and I'm being to deaf to hear.

Gilmore Girls

I love Gilmore Girls, the names i have used to protect the innoncent are characters from Gilmore Girls. My friends also love the show and we all have nicknames from there. I am Sookie, therefore I am married to Jackson.


I was watching an episode today (God bless the library they have 3 full seasons on dvd to check out, for free)


anyhow I was watching an episode today and here's a quote quite apropos for this blog


Rory: There wasn't really a point you know because I get it. He is starting his first real job. I mean, he needs time to adjust and focus and learn the lay of the land. I mean It's good that he's trying to be a grown-up. You no so now I'm trying to be a grown-up. So why am I gonna get all pouty because I don't get to do it?
Lorelai: Hmm. Well, that sounds like a real grown-up talking.
Rory: Thank you.
Lorelai: You know the one thing that grown-ups don't call themselves?
Rory: What?
Lorelai: Grown-ups. Huh they say "adults," and they pronounce it "ah-dults."
Rory: It stinks


so aparently I am indeed not a grown up, for the sheer reason I use the word grown up. And yes Rory Gilmore, it does stink

monday evening

I'm having to redefine my down time.

no more television ( we didn't want to move it to our room, so we gave it away, not that we would have anything more than movies anyway)

currently I have minimal Internet. my computer is wonky (my father in law thinks my mother board might be going out) so I'm having to share with Jackson.

I need to get back into the habit of reading, I don't do it nearly as often as I used to. I guess starting tomorrow Ill have plenty of reading to do, class starts back up

work was exhausting today, on top of my normal walking I tripped and fell with a 24 lb baby. In the process of making sure he didn't get hurt i twisted and moved and fell on the floor.so now I ache all over and I think its being increased by my minimal amount of food today.

ok now I'm just slightly whiny and rambling on, time to wrap it up.

new year

I have goal for the new year, that I need to get out of my head and onto paper. mostly they're linked with a fast Im doing with our church, but theres some other one as well. ill get to those later. I need a nap

for now happy new year. 2009 wasnt exactly bad, just not great either. Im excited what God has in store for me personally and my family of 2.

I got to spend the new years with a great group of people bowling, we had a blast I got home way to late but I was with my husband and really thats all that matters. oh and we really did have a great time.

ok nap time. must get gowls down today, preferably by 6.
