MONDAY!!!!!
the start of a new week. A blank slate, a whole new week...what to do this week...what new adventure? lists to complete, groceries to buy, decisions to be made, puppies to be trained and cards to be sent. I ca
n think of all these exciting things I would like to do but...well the end of the week will let us know. A new week...a time to start new...or will it be the same thing that was done last week and the week before.... My choice, my decisions...what will it be???

HUMAN....is it so wrong to want more that that? Is it wrong to want people to be "above" that? I know we are "human" and we make mistakes, but should that be the reason for everything? Should we just chalk life up to being human? What if we want more? What if I expect more? Is that wrong of me? Wrong to expect people to act kind towards others, not gossip, respect each other and treat each other as we ourselves want to be treated? Is that so wrong? Or does one set themselves up for disappointment after disappointment when they do this? Does one then live with that feeling of being "let down"? As you can probably guess...there were some "human moments" today and I am sitting her sad because of them. So then who really is at fault in the end? Me for expecting something more than humanness or them for acting human?
Sunday's Blessings...

* Choice...it is something I value and am so glad I have the freedom to do...make choices.

* My eyes...I love being able to view the world and see all the incredible creations God has created.

* Love...to be loved by my family is such a wonderful blessing.

* Internet...i love that i can communicate with my girls on this thing...
teeehehehehe...

* hugs...a friend let me hung her this week and it felt good...

* puppies...they love you no matter what and can make a bad day not so bad...

And...here we go!

1. "In a hole in the ground there lived a rabbit who loved to play ."

2. "I've been plowin' all day but that ain't no matter."

3. "After dark the rain began to fall again, this would make the seventh day of this."

4. "Pirates came and stole the ship and fellow pirates from the hold of the Spanish galleon."

5. "There was a hand in the darkness, and somewhere i knew there was light."

6. "Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, and make them feel exposed."

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing, tomorrow my plans include working and Sunday, I want to work on my 365 project!






And...here we go!


1. Why do we have to go to work on cold blustery days?

2. Facebook and twittering are now habits.

3. I have always wanted to be free to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and have the money to support me while doing this.

4. I had never heard the phrase "love the bad in people" and it makes sense because it would be weird.

5. No one will love my family the way I always do.

Sunday's Blessings...

* Time with Boo (she has been so busy today!).

* Age...I know this sounds odd but age helps one to mature and not take so many things so serious!!

* Weekends...what would we do without some "down" time.

* Talent...we were able to see Boo in Parade this week and the Lord has blessed her and her sister with such great talent (Gigi is performing their MC dance in OK this week).

* Miss. Amie...she has been in our lives a long time and she is such a "fan" of the girls. I love that about her.

* Change...sometimes change is good...as Poppy says "Boils the blood...get's it going and that is good!!"

* Church Family...they are an extension of our family and we love them!
wow!!! Today is the first day of March!!! wow!! Where did February go??? I did not plan on it being such a busy month but it was!!! wow. This week went just as fast if not faster. I did not have time to update so I will do a quick review...

* Boo had her musical open this week...Parade. We were able to see it last night and it was wonderful!!! Loved it! I had not seen it before so the story was intense and sad....*sniff* *sniff*. Boo was kept busy this week with all her practices so we did not see her much.

* Monday was sooooo busy with puppy stuff. We were able to get them signed up with insurance (is not anything free anymore???). So when we did this we had to take them in for their shots and Dr. visit. Mr. Snuggles likes to bark so he spent most of his time barking.... *sigh*

*Preparation for Couples Night...boy did that keep me on my toes!!! Couples Night was Friday and we had 11 couples show up! It was a blessing and I am hoping everyone had fun. I enjoyed it and my only regret was I did not get pictures (well...we took 3...*sigh*). Well...there is nothing I can do now.... We played games including "Spouse-ology" and we had a nacho bar (that went real well) and strawberry shortcakes which they made themselves. All in all I think it went well.

* New schedule at work...I am not coming in later so that is a whole new way of life! This week was so busy so I am not sure it I like it or not...time will tell...

***upcoming things....another Couple's Night, Hunny bunny's birthday, Gigi comes home for a week, Ann comes home, Year end Reviews delivered.... I guess I will be a busy bee again...*sigh*
