Live like there is no tomorrow....

You know. Its just not possible to do. I mean I guess it could be possible, but if you lived like there was no tomorrow for real, you would not send your kids to school, or go to work, or stop to do dishes, or save any money... Right? What would be the point? You would want to spend every last second doing what you love, not earning a living to pay a mortgage that was never going to come due. So there is no such thing as living like there is no tomorrow, unless maybe your about 3 weeks old.

This being said. Tomorrow is uncertain. With my life every moment is I guess. We just got a new house, we waited to make this purchase until Tims job was solid again, as last time we went to start looking he LOST his job. Well guess what... Just paid the first months mortgage and shit, as we know it, although not cat shit this time, is about to possibly hit the fan... I do not quite understand it. I have had the same job for 6 years. I have never been written up, or even hollered at. Yet in that same time frame, Tim has had I think 4 jobs and is always in trouble for something, even if its something he did not do.

I guess life without drama and stress would just feel too mondane for me. I have found it best to try to just live for today, knowing tomorrow will come and I will need money for bills, but trying not to stress over it. We will see how it works!

On a lighter, funnier note, because I like to end with those... Hannah wanted a buddy to stay the night. Lauren, her best friend with curly red hair. So Tim called her dad to ask. No one was home (or they are avoiding us) and the machine picked up.

"Darrin, this is Tim. Hannah was wanting to speak to Lauren, when you can, give us a call back. Bye.". Hannah is a bit cranky that no one picked up so Tim decieded to amuse her, the way Tim only knows how. He stuck out her finger, and well, you can probably guess... Yeah when she grabbed it he farted.

"Ewe Daddy!!!" She says! "well you pulled on my finger!!, Pull it again" So of course, Hannah being Hannah, she did, and he, well yeah, again. Lovely. Hannah chose at that point to leave the room, because she has good ideas a lot of the time, she's a smart cookie. Soon after she leaves, we hear this sound... It is the answering machine saying time is up on the message... Yeah. Tim never hit the END CALL button. Needless to say Hannah's little friend has not phoned back yet.

So lesson to learn here. Make sure you have hung up the phone, before you play a game of pull my finger. HA!

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
