Love

That's what we talked about in Bible study today. I Corinthians 13 is a really tough chapter to live by!!! Especially the part that says....."love does not take into account a wrong suffered"....wow! So no holding grudges, no getting even, no telling everyone!! Hard to swallow.

Then we read Matthew 5:48, "Be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect", hmmmm, I've got a lot of work to do, lol!

Hmmmmm

I don't really have anything exciting, cute or thought provoking to share. So here are some VERY random things.

I got every single piece of clothing in our house washed yesterday, towels too, can I get a witness!!!!

I'm tired of Gabes pullup leaking pee every night.

I LOVE my new flat iron, and will try to post some pics soon, I have a few, but they aren't very flattering ones of me, so I'm gonna do a "photshoot" again soon.

I am loving the Olympics, even the obscure evenst like Curling.

I am sick of the snow!!!! We have a lot and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

We paid off a bill this week, can I get another witness!!!!

We plan to have all bills but our mortgage paid off by January of next year, woo to the hoo!!!

Every single person in our house got a hair cut last week. Gwen's little bob is so cute, I'll try to post some pics of that too.

I don't want to cook.

I have become addicted to getting my nails done. Keeps me from picking at my cuticles, a very bad habit of mine, but it is kind of pricey, so I really need to give it up.

I wish I could do something that would make me useful in Haiti, I would love to go there right now.

Have a great week, and God bless us everyone!!!!

Jillian Michaels

is mean! I started her 30 day shred video today, and boy do I feel shredded! It's a 20 minute a day workout, and every minute is packed with intense stuff! My thinking is, instead of leaving the house, which entails getting dressed, getting my 2 year old dressed, making sure I have my pedometer, mp3 player, etc., having a snack and drink for her, a bag with stuff for her to do, then driving to my walking track, an inside one, then walking for at least 30 minutes then finally getting home, which by then the 30 minutes has turned into an hour or more, that I would do a simple 20 minutes a day at home.

Pffftttt. It is only 20 minutes, but it ain't simple! My legs were shaking so bad not even halfway through it I didn't think I could walk, and this is level 1!! There are 2 more levels above it! Well if you're only gonna do 20 minutes and see results you gotta hit it hard. I'm gonna stick with it, even though I know by tomorrow I won't be able to squat to pee without groaning in pain! I only want to lose about 6 more lbs, 6 more!!! And with Jillian barking at me I think I can do it!

Tim Tebow.....

is so refreshing! And too darn good looking!

Cleanup, cleanup

everybody, everywhere! That is what I am doing today! But I'm not dreading it, and that's weird! Havin' our super bowl party tomorrow night, and need clean floors and bathrooms. Dusted earlier this week, so I don't have to worry about that, yay! Then I need to make a few of the foodies, luckily I told everyone to bring a dessert/appetizer, so that I don't have to do ALL the work, and it does take a lot of stress off a body! Everyone have a great day, I know I will!

Well....

not much going on in my life right at this moment, but I'm working on consistency! Trying to shake this stinking allergy/sinus stuff that is hanging on for it's life, ugh. But I'll be ok, it won't last forever!

Anyone else out there ever have a problem with judging besides me? Funny thing is, I have a lot of grace for people I don't know, haha. Like a drug addict, prostitute or teen mom, because but by the grace of God I could be them, and still could! Ok, maybe not the teen mom, but you know what I mean :) But I just wanna love on them and tell them about Jesus and help them turn their life around.

But there are a few people that I am very close to, who don't have any outward serious issues, such as drugs, alcohol, etc., but my goodness they irritate me so much with their issues that sometimes I wanna give them a good thrashing! I can pick out every single thing that is wrong in their life and I want to tell them exactly what they need to do! Hmmm, I think there is a verse in the Bible 'bout that, something about a beam in my eye and a tiny speck in my brothers, ha!

So why is it that the people closest to me I have no grace for and the people I don't know, I can give them all kinds of grace. I guess because I have no expectations for someone I don't know and those closest to us we can place a lot of expectations on? Or could it be that I'm simply a sinful human being? I'd wager it's both!! ~sigh~ I just need to get my eyes off people, who will always let us down, and on Jesus, who will NEVER disappoint me!

Tax refund time!

LOVE IT! Ours comes in next week. And while the bulk of it goes to practical things like paying off bills and savings, we do get to have a tiny bit of fun with it. I am buying the kids matching Easter outfits, myself a very expensive flat iron, and a few spring/summer items for myself, since, thankfully I am too skinny for my old ones, yipeeeeee!

Why would I waste money on an expensive flat iron you might ask? When you can get pretty decent ones for under $50. Because I have tried all kinds of products/flat irons and they just do not work on my hair! I don't have really curly hair, but it is one step below that level, and all I end up with is mostly straight, but puffy (frizzy) hair. I wear it natural, but dream of stick straight beautiful shiny hair! And I had given up that dream, until my hair dresser said she got a new flat iron that made her hair look like Jesus had styled it!! Now who can pass up Jesus styling your hair, lol?

Oh, and Donny will get to splurge a little bit too. He is waffling between a new gun or tv? I'm rooting for the tv!
