one of those days...

we all have them don't we - the days when we just aren't right. it doesn't matter what anyone says you aren't going to agree. or you just want to stomp your foot and scream. or you want to be left alone, but not really. and if someone told you to sit down and eat the whole tub of ice cream you wouldn't do it - just because they told you to!

well, friday was one of those days for mapboy and as a result for me as well! i'm not sure what it was but he was going to be difficult no matter what i did! gotta love those days don't we!

needless to say, while he was having one of those days, i was having a garage sale with a friend and my sister-in-law. her 3 kids were here and i just couldn't figure him out!!

at the end of this very frustrating day i just wanted to cry!! of all days why did he have to pick today to be like this? was it the garage sale (you know, the fact that mom had something to do)? was it the fact that there were people to play with and he couldn't handle that? or is there really something to the thought that the moon/stars affect our moods?? i guess i'll never really know the answer to the trauma that day.

thankfully, that day is over and a new one has begun and i can enjoy each one until we have another ONE OF THOSE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss ...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
