well, today i got my first check stub of the year. woo woo!! so excited because i got a full check. i don't have access until tomorrow b/c of direct deposit.
the church i go to is starting a whole new thing with life groups (which is like a bible study), so friday i will start going. it's funny because a girl that signed up is someone that i really don't want to get to know. i'm not going to state her personal things b/c that's for her to do, but i know a few things about her and her situation. i am very careful about who i become friends with b/c i have trust issues. i never know anyones intentions...especially with females becoming friends with my hubby. maybe it's jealousy (not of her, but of something she got to do) or insecurities (about myself)...or a bit of both. i know God is the one putting me in this situation b/c He knows my feelings and i guess it's something i have to deal with. I promise I will be courteous to her. i have a few female friends, but I've never really got along with females. hmm...i just don't know about this.
any ideas, suggestions......?
anyway, the guy who called me 3 different times from 3 different numbers decided he didn't want to call me anymore...lol. i am glad b/c i don't want to have to go to the police to file harassment charges. if you call a person the 1st time and see it's the wrong number, why are you going to keep calling...fully knowing and understanding you are calling the wrong number?
well, Sunday will be my day to go out without my hubby and kiddos. it's a new thing we decided to try. we started last sunday with him going out first. i told him to go first b/c i hadn't made any plans with anyone. we've been together almost 5 years, and we never really went out by ourselves. we decided it was time to do something to help our relationship/marriage. that was the solution we came up with. it's something i knew needed to be done but never really wanted it to happen. i have to admit that i was being a bit selfish...lol...an understatement, but i am admitting it.
okay, i guess i am going to add some things to my site.
until next time...God bless!!
Wow, has a whole week passed by already? Well, I haven't been working much on my site because I go back to work on Monday, so I've been getting some much-needed cleaning done. I still have quite a bit to do and little time left. I need to buy more organization items...bins, shelves, etc. I guess I just need to get more organized and learn how to manage my time better.
well, we finally got a washer and dryer. my sister wanted a new washer and dryer...one of those front-loading ones. they were going to sell one of my other sisters their washer and dryer, but she's been bad about paying people their money back, so they decided to sell it to us. it's so awesome to be able to wash our clothes at home. the only reason we never got them before is the apartments we lived at didn't have a place for them.
hmm...what else? guess this is it for now. until next time....take care and God bless!!
wow, time is passing me by really fast. can't believe we're at the end of another year. my mom and her bf are supposed to be coming tonight to ring in the new year. my bro-in-law is supposed to come too. we're wanting to cook-out tonight...just depends on if they come or not.
well, praise God b/c our electric bill will be paid off. since we have central heat and our trailer is all electric, our bill was a little over a hundred dollars more this month than it was last month. so, we went to a community place that helps people with their electric bills and stuff and they are going to pay it off for us. i'm so relieved, but i know God is watching out for us.
hmm...what else? still haven't decided how i want my art section to look yet, but i'll figure it out eventually.
well, i'm going to work a bit more on my site and then get to cleaning.
until next time...take care and God Bless!!
Christmas this year was awesome. At first I wasn't going to invite 2 of my older sisters because of what they keep saying about me and my family and all the drama that happened on Thanksgiving. It was a few days before Christmas and I decided I was going to invite them. One of our half sisters is staying with one of the afore-mentioned sisters and that was her only way of coming. I didn't want to stoop to their level either, so I decided I was going to invite them, get their kids a little something, and make them something. My hubby decided to get one of my nephews a toy, and I think my other sister was a little jealous cause her son didn't get 2 presents. It wasn't my idea for that so whatever. I don't think my sisters liked what I gave them either. I bought 2 mugs and put 2 packets of hot chocolate mix, hershey kisses w/almonds, and 2 candy canes in them. One of the mugs broke, so I gave one of our mugs. I would have liked something like that, but they're not me. I know Christmas isn't about getting presents, but does everyone else realize that?
Anywho, I have 2 weeks of vacation left. I actually got up at 7 this morning to drink some coffee with my hubby. I told myself last night that i was going to have energy and not be tired this morning. Here it is and hour and 1/2 later, and I'm not tired. I probably couldn't go back to sleep if I tried.
Well, my both of my boys are now up, so until next time...take care and God bless!!
My kids love getting into stuff they aren't supposed to...baby powder, diaper rash cream, stuff in the fridge, etc. it is so frustrating. i always wonder when will they get out of that stage? i guess it's just one of those things that i'll have to be patient...which is not one of my strengths.
well, i am trying to figure out what i want to do about my layout. i found a template because i somehow can't find the time to figure out exactly what i want and whatever, so i found one that looks kind of how i want. someday i'll learn to manage my free time.
this week has been mostly just to relax and do whatever, but starting next week, i got to get on a schedule so it won't be so bad when i go back to work.
well, i guess this is it for now. until next time.......
God bless!!
Well, I'm off for a month since the college is out for a month for christmas break, so i'll be figuring out what I want to do about my site. got a bunch of inspirational things, jokes, funny stories...etc. just trying to decide how I want to put all the content i have. any ideas?
until next time...God Bless!!...
I was scheduled to work later than usual today. There's a catering tomorrow and it has required a lot of prep work. i was working with grapes. I had to pick them off the dried-up vine and rinse all the dirtiness off of them. Some were already rotting and were no good, so I had to throw them away. Then it hit me 
...we're like a bunch of grapes
. Without God, we're dirty, rotting, and without His Word (which is like water), we will dry up and be no good. It's so funny how doing something so simple as washing grapes can lead to big revelations.
Another thing that happened today, and I know it was God, was that my hubby got a check from the company we work for. It was a check that would have been a normal paycheck. The only thing was, he gets paid next week and had gotten all the checks he was supposed to. He called the company and all they told him was that it was a special check. No specific reason or nothing. If it's not God, how else would he/ we have gotten this check? It really is no use trying to figure God's ways out because you'll just give yourself a headache. All I can say is PRAISE GOD!! 
The baby is now 1 and walking all over the place. I'm about to be off for a month since the college is about to be out for Christmas break. I'm happy about the break, but I'm not. We're still tied for 1st in our bowling league, but we're technically 2nd because the other team has more pins than we do because they've been bowling like crazy...lol. Not too much longer andthe bowling league will be over for us...at least until the next league we join. And we have our own internet...that we are paying and everything...lol 
Anywho, that's about it for now, so until the next time I feel like writing...
God is great...and He is awesome...and all that good stuff.
We got all our stuff moved into our trailer. It's a decent sized one...2 bedroom and bathrooms. We're loving it...except the cucarachas. it's war against them suckers.
Anyway, my mom said she's supposed to be released Monday. she's been doing therapy but because she fractured her ankle, she can't put weight on it...so the hospital said they're going to release her since they've done all the therapy they can for her. At least God is with them because the insurance is actually going to pay for her and her 'boyfriend'...250K each...so yeah, it's going to help them pay for all those lovely hospital bills and stuff...well, that's what I hope they'll do anyway instead of blowing the money on stupid items.
Well, we're almost done paying off one bill. i'm hoping in a few months i'll be able to get my very own internet and not have to worry about coming to the library once a year...that's what it seems like anyway. i came today because i was off yesterday and today. it's fall break at the college, so they don't need many workers.
The baby is now 11 months old. he's able to stand up all by himself and finally decided to try walking. he had taken a couple of steps a couple of times last month or so, but he decided crawling was faster. he's slowly getting the hang of it. Luciano is growing like a weed and too smart for his own good...lol. they go to day care and nano (luciano) always cries when we pull into the driveway. crazy boy, but he'll get the hang of that eventually.
well i guess this is it for now. until next year...lol....
Well, I've been busy busy...work, bowling, kids, hubby, looking for a house...etc, etc, etc. I've got to go back to work tonight at 5 for a formal catering event. 1st time and will be a learning event for me.
My mom is in the hospital right now. A couple of weeks ago, her and her dude was involved in a roll over. She broke her back and dislocated her hip. She had a couple of surgeries on her hip and one on her back. She now has a rod in her back. she's supposed to be getting a different back brace soon so they can get her up and trying to walk. then it'll be therapy. sometimes I wonder how people can endure so much pain. even if it wasn't a wake-up call from God, He can still turn it into something good.
I did get to go see her yesterday since my bro-in-law didn't want to go. so it was my sis and her 2 kids and big belly...and me and my 2 boys. my mom loved seeing her grandkids. well, i'm almost finished with what i'm doing on the internet.
so until the next time i'm on here......
I'm so excited. Today I had a job interview at the college for the cafeteria. I start Friday. My only work experience had been at Wonderland in Amarillo...and it was only 5 months, but it paid off.
My Sundays are going to be even busier. My hubby and I went bowling yesterday; some people were talking about a bowling league on Sundays. so, me and my hubby are joining. if i work all week and am off on Sundays, at least me and my hubby will get to spend that day together after church.
I'm just like wow...I'm glad that I didn't get the job at Wal-Mart...lol...even though it was my fault that I didn't get the job. But I'm proud to say I'm clean again and it will stay that way.
Just thank You Lord for You are good...and Your love endures forever...
so, until the next time i'm on...hoping i can get my own internet now...have a great day and God bless!!
