May Twenty Seventh Evening…

Gnomeo-And-Juliet-Poster

We just finished watching Gnomeo and Juliette… Silly but Cute with Good Elton John music… Actually his company made the movie and then presented it to Disney…

Hubby is now fixing apple pie a la mode…

We had tacos, taquitos, refried beans, corn,  and nachos for dinner… yummy… I am so full…

and so tired… my five hours of sleep is catching up with me… but I can sleep in tomorrow, then back to work to close…

Now we are watching Lost in Space… Son2 went off to watch the season finale of The Mentalist…

All the shows have ended for the season… more time to watch Netflix shows and movies…

Harry Potter was a bit slow but it is only part one setting up for the big finale…

Pirates_of_the_Caribbean_On_Stranger_Tides-535x401

We went to the movies on Sunday and saw Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides… we used our Christmas gift card from son1 and girlfriend… Jack Sparrow was hilarious and Blackbeard was really cool…

Lost in Space is almost over and it’s 10pm already… Time to get the boys and me off to bed…

Happy Journaling…

 

May Twenty Seventh

87364829_f1b58435f6

I’m finding I really don’t like Thursdays… But once it is over they weren’t so bad and I’m just fine… I’m sure partly it is because I’m off on Wednesday and then I close on Thursday… then I always have the manager on duty phone and other manager duties to do… so between Wednesday and Thursday I get nothing done in shoes…

But back to work again this morning, so lots to do today to finish up the week and get caught up in shoes with reports, schedules and maybe some stocking, opening of boxes and locating the stockroom… plus I’m not off again til next Wednesday so hopefully I’ll get lots done…

Son1 is off to work this morning early so he can work a half day and then he and girlfriend are off to the beach somewhere near Los Angeles for the whole holiday weekend…

Son2 is off to school with his art project that he’ll be painting today… and he did finally order his yearbook yesterday…

Son3 brought home all his projects from the whole year after school yesterday… and hubby walked to pick him up so I’m sure they were a sight carrying dioramas, project boards and an overflowing backpack… he had a homework pass but had brought home class work that needed to be finished that was only two questions but hubby said it took him over an hour as he couldn’t remember the story that the questions were for…

Hubby now has a four day weekend as his new boss has surgery today and will be off for the next six weeks… he also only worked two hours yesterday as she had to leave for lab work… he has another manager that he will answer to while she is gone but since his position is a new position there isn't an exact plan in place yet… so next week once her surgery is over she can call from home and give better instructions to everyone… I have to remember to pick hubby up some new dress shirts after work today as he has had to borrow son2’s…

I was up til midnight after work last night, watching Bones to unwind… then up after 5am to make sure son1 was up… he was… was going to go back to sleep for a half hour or so but the kittens were getting into everything this morning… mostly my houseplants… Indy got sprayed with the water bottle three times for pulling on the branches… and then Maple peed in another one… they are being able to climb higher and higher finding new places to explore… They are on the dining table with me now, knocking all son3’s pencils to the floor and batting them around… I think they are starting to get tired now as they have been running around for over an hour, getting out their bees from being in the bathroom all night… Yep they are quiet now and laying down…

Time to get son3 up for school and get me ready for work…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that infinite possibilities are born of faith. Do you think that's air you breathe; that's earth you walk on? All matter is God's creation. And the source is faith. When you have so much faith that you become one of faith, infinite possibilities open to you.

May Twenty Sixth

birdhouse1

Finally taking a moment to visit my blog… I have been trying to read blogs but Google reader is not working quite right and does not keep you logged in… I was behind over 600 so finally just marked all as read because it was not clearing them out as I was reading and then adding them back out after I cleared them… Still able to visit and read so I shouldn’t complain…

I have good news to share………………………………..

Hubby started his new job yesterday!! The UPS Store… Part time for now, building to full time as business picks up… Mon-Fri, 10-2… perfect schedule for getting son3 to and from school…

I’m excited but not as excited as I thought I would be… Guess any change takes time even when it’s good news… I laugh at hubby though… for the last nine months he has been the perfect house hubby to the point of being underfoot… and one morning back at work and now it’s ALL About Work… to where he’s already back to his old habits in the house of being a working dad/husband… but then that’s a good thing to which we are very thankful…

garden-birdhouse-david-g-paul

I had the whole house to myself yesterday morning as everyone was at work and school… Blissful… Barely spent any time on the computer as I keep thinking of things to get done with no one here to distract me… laundry, dishes, even mopped the kitchen floor… just general tidy up with no one here to undo it right behind me… this morning the same as I close tonight so home this morning enjoying the quiet again…

I’m settled into my new job now except for the certification looming over my head for the 8th of next month… an annual thing now of all footwear leads being certified in the footwear department with the help of the footwear associates… 54 questions we have to pass with a 90%… ranging from reports to processes to sales floor standards to stockroom standards to associates knowledge with the customers… we know of everything but so very hard to have everything 100% at all times but for the 8th we will have to be… this week however we have no hours as we are making up for all the hours we used at the beginning of the month for the last visit… so most associates only have 4 hours this week… then this weekend is Memorial Weekend so we will be very busy… I’m still waiting to hear how many hours we will get for next week and/or have overnighters… but in addition to getting everything ready for the visit it will be a lot of recovery from getting so far behind this week… I keep telling myself one day at a time as I walk with God each day…

June 7th is son3’s school trip to the local water park… When son2 was younger they didn’t go to the water park until 5th grade so I’m not too keen on son3 going but go he will… will drill the rules into him before he goes and send lots of sunscreen, towels and shirts… son2 got a VERY BAD sunburn when he went… son2 had never been to a water park but had been to full size pools before… where son3 has only been in the 4ft pool in the back yard… although usually when he goes on any school trips he always spends all his time in the video arcade…

Then June 9th is the last day of school… and the visit will be over with us hopefully passing or then we will have to do it again… June 12th is my birthday… and then hopefully I will get my vacation approved for the week starting June 13th…

We celebrated girlfriend’s 21st birthday last Friday… still have the decorations up, hopefully hubby will get them down this weekend… mostly the balloons left that son1 was going to take to her… we had chocolate pudding cake with Hello Kitty decorations… she then celebrated with family and friends testing the drinking ways with son1 taking care of her as she had a bit too much… this weekend they are going away to the beach for the weekend to finish off the birthday celebrating… next month they will celebrate their two year anniversary and son1’s one year anniversary at his current job… then it will be time for son1 to follow through on his plan of joining the military…

Son2 has been finishing up his year as a junior… supposed to be buying a year book today, nothing like the last minute… tennis is done… got his team pictures that I need to scan in to share… tomorrow is the award night but he doesn’t seem to want to go… he is also finishing up on one last art project for art class…

Last night we went to son3’s Open House to see all his art work and reports that we, I mean he, did this year… the teacher was teasing everyone and congratulating the parents on their dioramas… I wonder what grade I got on my diorama…

The kittens are getting so big and getting into everything… we still put them in the bathroom for the night or when we go out… however the other day they some how opened one of the bathroom drawers that blocked the bathroom door and locked themselves in the bathroom til hubby and son2 were able to get them out… with hubby working now we may start leaving them out at night and then just putting them in the bathroom while we are at work and school… then work on slowly keeping them out all the time once the boys are on summer break…

Still two hours til I go to work but need to shower, get dressed, have lunch and tidy up before I go…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that there are many truths, and they all point to one source - God. Do not spend energy arguing whose truth is righter, - just like all life springs forth from one source, so are all truths but a reflection of God. Accept another truth as another way of loving God.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that how bad things may look right now means nothing, - it's how good they can be with God's help that counts. In life you can absolutely count on one thing, - everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes. Don't you dare to give up, - you might be a moment away from a windfall.

God Wants You To Know…

fpget-attachment.aspx

On this day, God wants you to know

... that your love is a gift to the world. Let your love radiate out to all you meet. Let your love touch the hearts of people you don't even know. Let your love reach to the far corners of the earth. Love is what is saving the world.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that although forgiveness is very hard, it is necessary. Holding onto anger and old hurts hardens your heart and hurts only you. Ask for help in letting go of the anger. Ask to see the situation through the eyes of compassion. Allow yourself to feel the lightness of forgiveness.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that there is a time and a season for everything. It may be a time of new beginnings, a time of growth, a time of reaping the harvest of hard work, or a time of rest. Trust this beautiful order. Everything in its time.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that doubt is the rust of life. Doubt holds you landlocked in paralysis unable to move either way. The time you spent doubting is the time you are not alive. So, rid yourself of the doubt, take that step one way or another, your heart knows what is best, but take it right now.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you can only give away what you already have inside yourself. True giving happens when you are overflowing from the inside, and cannot help but share. When there is so much love within you that it has to flow to others or you would burst open. There is no thinking involved, no willpower in such sharing. It just flows out. If you have to force yourself to be kind, to love, to feel compassion, you've missed the first step of filling in your own Self with these emotions.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that it's time to STOP going through the motions of living, and START living. Are you willing to do that now? Or are you going to wait until all life energy drains out of you and your loved ones who are trying to support you at this very moment? You were not born to follow rules and regulations. Living starts with dreaming. So dream, dream friend, and let dreams show you the path to your bliss.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you deserve happiness just because. There is nothing you need to do to deserve happiness. There are no 'minimal requirements' for you to fulfill before you can claim happiness. You deserve happiness simply by virtue of having been born. That's it. Nothing more is required. Be happy.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that it's time you stopped hiding from life, and said yes to the adventure of being alive. Enough of the routine already. Go on, have an adventure, - do what you always wanted deep within your heart. Do what brings you alive, and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that it's okay to ask for help. Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the details and complexities of our lives. Sometimes we need some help to get untangled, to gain a new perspective. Ask for help. Help may come in human or divine form. It may be seen or unseen. Ask, and ye shall receive.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that today you can help a thousand people see God's light. Feel God's light shining within you and take a step to inspire someone else to shine. As you share this vision today with just one soul, that reaches ten lives that touch a thousand.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need. Try something new. Do something fun. Be adventurous. These breaks can bring renewed energy into your work and your life.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you don't have to be serious to be spiritual. Laughter is good! Levity is good! When you allow yourself to be joyful, that joy radiates to all those around you. God honors you and your laughter.
