  • up late. insomnia again.

    I love sitting and listening to the rain. It is so nice, but I can't get my head to relax.

    I guess it is just driving me crazy having my house be messy and not having the time and energy to properly clean and organize it. I got to see Steph's nursery for Landon today and I realized I still have not decorated Keira's room. It is so sad because it's not that hard to hang a few pictures at least. I had such big dreams for a beautiful nursery, but I guess when you don't move your child into her room until she is 1 that kills a lot of motivation. Also the office is a war zone. I got all my picture frames out and printed a bunch of photos, but never got them together and hung on walls. Grrr. Maybe my New Years resolution will be to decorate the rest of my house.

  • Ah I hate it when I do this to myself. I over-commit and then run myself to the bone. It was a lot easier to deal when I wasn't responsible for anyone but myself. But now I have a husband and a child to take care of.

    I want so badly for there to be enough income that I can spend all of my "work" time at church helping and leading. But that is not a reality. I can't just go out and get a day job because there is no child care and no jobs anyways. I need to get down and really work hard at my home business!

  • knowing

    Did you ever have one of those moments when you feel like you know everything and nothing?

    I feel like I worked for 5 years to earn my degree and yet I still am clueless. I have all these desires to learn and know, but I commit next to nothing to it. I can't keep up. I fell like I am so much better informed than so many and yet lost in a sea of information. I have hundreds of books on my shelves and I have barely cracked them. Oh to have time to read and study and absorb. A gift I take for granted!

  • Life Lesson: Never sell a car to friend or family member

    Last year I made the big mistake of letting a friend buy our little sedan on payments. Firts mistake was selling it to anyone on payment, second mistake was "selling" it to an unreliable friend. 2 months after buying the car they killed the engine and promptly stopped making payment. Haven't given us a penny since. Now they are trying convince one of their other friends to fix the car for them and they promise they will start paying us again. I kinda brushed it off at the time cause there was no follow through. Then all of the sudden today some random person shows up at our house and says David sent him over to look at the car. They didn't call or anything to give us a heads up that someone was coming over, they have not sent us any money. And of course my mom is raging mad cause the car is legally in her name and she now hates my "friends" for screwing us all over.

    I'm pissed cause I'm done being taken advantage of. There is no communication and it is ridiculous. AHHH Now I have the fun task of calling them and explaining very clearly that they cannot have the car and we need all the keys back. This also means our friendship is pretty much crumpled because she is going to of course blame us.
