Some day....

 Some day she will have children of her own, and she will call me up and tell me what she is going through. I will listen and I will give advice and on the inside I will be screaming "HA PAYYYYYYYYYYYY BACK"

 Without going into detail, my teenager is driving me crazy. I give very short, simple rules I am not super strict and even the small simple 2 part rules I ask of her, she cannot follow. So I have decided I cannot do anything that causes me to go above and beyond for her any longer. Meals, a warm place to sleep, and things to clean herself and clothes along with love. That is all I am by law entitled to give. Until she can give me extra, she gets no extra from me.

 The rules I have set are:

 Text when you change locations.
 Be home or inside where your staying, by 11pm
 I want to talk to a parent, of the friend who's house you will be at for the night, and I would like that friends address.

 Tonight I did not get one of those things. Tonight phones are shut off. Here I sit at 2am wondering if my child is really where she says she is. Hoping and praying she is okay. Upon looking up her phone bill I can see she has made calls to others, but ignored my texts, and incoming calls. I guess since she is unable to use the phone, she does not need it any longer.

 So I guess I changed my mind and did go into detail.I couldn't help it. She is stressing me out. So tonight I pray Lord, please keep my daughter safe and out of trouble. Please let it weigh heavy on her heart that she has caused me worry and concern. Please let her realize I am not just being a jerk, that it is my JOB as her parent, to know where she is and keep her safe. Also Lord please be with her tomorrow when she comes home... For she will have to deal with mama. :o/

 Amen.

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
