Work is up and down as usual…

We’ve been working every weekend a month except for one…

My one is coming up soon…

Hubby has been going to doctor appointments for his finger and to the dentist… He has a reverse root canal coming up…

Son2 hung out with his friends all of Fourth of July weekend… and will soon be house sitting for son1 as he and DIL are going camping…

Son3 has been enjoying summer vacation and looking forward to his birthday…

I’ve been down and up and down… hormones maybe or just too much going on between work and home…

Hubby and I have been talking A LOT lately… I’ve noticed a lot of things about him since he has been home for three years now not working… some that he has always done and some new stuff that has come up due to not working and the cancer… nothing bad just too much time on our hands together or not enough going on that I have to add more stuff to the mix…

We’ve been watching lots of TV… I love my DVR… Plus it’s been so hot so we haven’t been going for walks… or working in the yard… so I go to work all day, make dinner and watch TV all evening… then try to do everything on my day off…

Last night the boys slept in the family room and of course they don’t get up before 11am so I didn’t get out of bed til 10am, just watching TV with hubby and playing on my phone… and talking………………

We had breakfast at lunch time and I worked on catching up on emails and Vegas pictures and Facebook, and now here it is dinner time and I’ve fixed lasagna with cheese bread and peas…

Back to work tomorrow and I haven’t gone through my binder to see what needs to be done this month… and clean out old papers and emails from work… I thought my new position would help me be more excited about work since I was burned out with shoes, but I think I’m just burned out with work…

Off to eat dinner and watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2… we watched the first one last night…

Today is your day to start believing something good is going to happen to you!

As the joy of the Lord gives you strength, you’ll be able to face any problems you have to deal with, and you’ll enjoy your life while you’re doing it!

Many things in life are not fair, but God is our vindicator, and He will eventually bring justice if we continue to trust Him.

Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...

it's important to listen to your gut.

Reason has its place in this world, certainly. But your gut is that subconscious part of yourself that knows exactly what is right for you. And oftentimes God speaks to you through that subtle but true gut feeling.

Pictures from the fourth of July…

Hubby and son3 shooting off safe and sane fireworks leftover from last year…

We could also see The Island Waterpark fireworks from our driveway…

Lots of neighbors also shooting off safe and sane fireworks and then  of course lots of neighbors shooting off illegal fireworks, some right over our house… could hear fire and police sirens throughout…

Son2 was off with friends for a BBQ and fireworks…

Back to work a whole week already after today…

I closed all weekend… Friday, Saturday, Sunday…

By Friday I was somewhat caught up from being on vacation…

Having a visit in the middle of the week didn’t help…

I’m still fine tuning my routine of my new job…

There is so much to do and having to balance between two departments – hardware/electronics and having less associates and hours then I had in footwear…

IMG_0707

We are missing Vegas or just vacation time away… Wishing we had added at least one more day so we could have seen more without rushing…

Plus being back at work I haven’t even had time to sort through all the pictures and share…

IMG_0708

And my house is a mess… I need to dust and vacuum and general straighten up…

And it has been so hot that hubby hasn’t been able to do yard work…

IMG_0709

Hubby had an appointment for physical therapy for his finger… He has a cloth brace to wear to help with the swelling and bought some finger putty like mountain climbers use to strengthen their finger muscles… kinda like a stress ball… but putty…

IMG_0710

Hubby also had a dentist appointment as he has been having a tooth ache that wakes him up… He has an infection and is now on penicillin… He goes back Monday as the doctor may have seen something else in the x-rays too…

IMG_0711

Hubby is all cleared from jury duty and didn’t have to go in…

IMG_0712

The boys have not even been on summer break for a month yet and it seems like they have been out forever… Which is good… I am not ready for school yet…

Son2 and son1 now have birthdays at the end of the month… So I will have a couple of days off… Son3 can not decide what he wants or what he wants to do except maybe have a couple of friends spend the night…

IMG_0713

Time for breakfast and get ready for work again…

New ad set today and Craftsman days starts…

My co/lead texted me as she is sick and will not be in this morning with the team…

I’m sure the team will get the ad done before I get there…

And then I’ll spend the day fine tuning the ad…

God will help you be who He designed you to be; He will not allow you to be someone else.

Being different is not bad; it is God's plan! We are all part of one plan, God's plan.

How wonderful it is that we may know the God of the Universe!

The only truly successful person in God's eyes is the individual who knows he is nothing in himself, but everything in Christ.

Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...

illness is often a sign that there are needs you are not taking care of.

Sometimes your body gets sick so that you are forced to slow down and become aware of the messages of your heart and the desires of your spirit. Only when you step outside from the daily treadmill, can you attune to these more subtle inner callings. Don’t wait to get sick before listening to these important inner messages.
