Wish Johnny luck!

He has an interview today at 1, I'm not sure if he really wanted it broadcasted or not considering the luck he has had so far with not being chosen for his first interview and the second job placed on hold the day before he was going to start but we need all the thoughts, prayers and positive vibes we can get at this point. I think I'm starting to get the same jink fear that you get when you are pregnant, you don't really want to announce things until you are past the "safe" mark but sometimes the excitement just gets to you first. So, I'm hoping I didn't just jinx us, seems like last time that is exactly what happened. I started telling everyone and I was starting to feel less stressed and than bam! The carpet was pulled out from underneath my feet.

Today and tomorrow is my "weekend" ........not sure what I will do with my time, we were going to do a few things today but with the interview being today we are going to bump them to tomorrow. I also need to get my check tomorrow, I could go today but that means sitting through an inservice and I just don't feel like it when I know I can take the make up test and go about my day.

Its wet and chilly here, bummer, that means Maddie will be inside pestering me all day! LOL

Love and Blessings!

Happy Hump Day! ;0)

This is a good wednesday for me because Thursday and Friday is my "weekend". We have some plans to try to take care of a few things and get some assistance but other than that I'm just trying to stay positive hopeful that someone will call soon about a job for Johnny.

A few cards that I made:




Scrappy/crafty time helps me keep my mind off of stress for a little bit so its my little escape!

It rained all day here, I'm sure I will be achy later, yuck.

Love and Blessings!

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

Romans 8:6-8

Another beautiful day here! Hope all is well wherever you are! :D

I tried something different at church today in regards to trying to get Maddie to sit still. I gave her 5 nickels in the beginning of "adult" church and we explained to her that if we had to tell her to settle down she owed us a nickel, and if she didn't have any nickels left when church was over she wouldn't get to watch her movie at naptime. Whoa, that is serious business to her! So when we picked her up at sunday school we re-explained the deal to her and asked questions to get her to verbalize she understood what the deal was one last time. She did pretty well, she lost 15 cents, 10 of it was before the offering started and the other 5 was waiting for the offereing to finish up and for the kids to be called to Children's church. I tried to add in the whole "giving" concept with her and had her give the 10 cents she lost for behavior to Jesus. I don't think she understood all of it but she knew that by the end of the day when we got home she still had some nickels left and that meant she could have a movie. Her friend Elizabeth was sitting behind us and I know they wanted to sit together but they are super chatty when they sit together so seperation is the key. :D

I'm really lacking energy or ambition today, oh, I just remembered I didn't take my thyroid medicine this morning, oops!

Love and Blessings!

He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.

Things to be thankful for:

First --it was a beautiful day today, 81 degrees! Maddie had a blast playing outside all day, minus nap time she lived outside. It amazes me how she can entertain herself with her imagination. She enjoyed her bubbles, planted dandilions in her mudbox (until we get some sand in it, lol) brought me a worm, so much fun for a little girl!

2nd--this is selfish but I found my mp3 player!!! I thought I lost it last weekend and have been tearing up things around here looking for it. Just when I was about to give up and start saving for a new one I found it in a pile of clothes today, yay!!

3rd--I am greatful that our basic needs are met, we have a roof over our head, food for the table and love for each other. We might be behind on things but I have FAITH that God will pull us through this and Johnny will find something soon!

4th--I got some house cleaning and scrapping done today!

Happy Day!
Love and Blessings

Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.
