Housecleaning day

Yep...you read it . Today is housecleaning and laundry day. Big whoop! It needs to be done, so here we go!!! I guess since I feel good enough to clean, I should do it. The laundry is about to sprout legs and walk away, so I guess that needs to be tackled as well. I let Amanda take my car to school today (her dad is fixing the brakes on her car), so I have no excuse. Scott did leave me his car (old cop car Impala) in case of emergency, but it's not something I want to drive unless I have to. He told me I could drive it, but I couldn't under any circumstances run the lights and sirens when I drive down the street. He is just no fun at all. He told me that just like I was 16 years old. Does he really think I would do that? (maybe??) (just once??)
Well, I guess I will have to get off of here soon and actually get to work on all that stuff I mentioned earlier. We are going to Vegas in 2 short weeks (my mother is actually getting married in Vegas on Valentines Day) I am home all day, I guess I get to be in charge of making sure we are ready to go.

Later!!!

It's Sunday!

Why is that a relavent title? I don't know. Couldn't think of anything else to put it its place, so that won out. Today we got up, went to church, lunch, and to hospital to visit friend who just had baby. Let me tell you, this is the cutest baby by far! He is sooo tiny and sooo cute. He fits perfectly in the crook of your arm. I can't wait to hold him again. I told his mommy that since I am off work until Feb. 16, I am available to come by and help. Lucky me! I just love everything about babies: the way the sleep in your arms, smile while they are sleeping, the way they smell, everything!!! They are truly a blessing from the almighty God above!

It's Saturday

Okay it's Saturday. This has been my day so far....Got up, got dressed, went to garage sale down the street and bought a treadmill they had for sale. Okay, you may ask....why a treadmill? Aren't you in a cast? Yes I am. I bought the thing for Amanda and Scott, okay? Maybe one day I can use it. Then I come home, make some breakfast, drink my coffee, take a shower, get dressed (again), play a few wii games and then decide to get on the computer. Wow, I am living the life here. I am trying to use some restraint since I tend to spend money if I leave the house. I am supposed to be budgeting my money since we are going to Vegas for Valentines Day.

We are trying to decide on our summer trip. Scott's vote is Colorado, my vote is anywhere, and Amanda's vote is Disney. I think we may go to Colorado in the summer, and push Disney to the week of Thanksgiving. I am trying to think logically about the intense Florida heat in July/August. We will have to see what happens. I do not like to stand in line on concrete in 100 plus degree weather, call me crazy if you will. We also kicked around renting a beach house and going down to (over?) Destin, Florida. I love the beach, but Galveston just doesnt do it for me. Especially after Hurricane Ike.

Well, looks like another exciting day is in the works! My best friend is headed to Belize on vaca, leaving tomorrow. Do you think anyone would notice just one extra person? Maybe I could fit in her suitcase....

Yea, good news!

Okay, pretty good news from the doctor today. I am in a walking boot, but am still supposed to use my crutches when I am out walking around. But the best news of all.......I CAN DRIVE!!!!! I took full advantage of my newfound freedom and drove over to my friends house to visit with her. She is at home waiting to have her baby, so I took some snacks over and we played Mario Party 8 on the Wii. Great fun!

Bored out of my mind.....

Okay, I'm done with all this. My family thinks I've gone completely nuts and they can't understand why I am cranky! I had surgery Dec. 18 (one month and two days ago-but who's counting) and I am still on crutches which means I am stuck inside unless someone is home to rescue me!! I am clumsy enough on two feet, but put me on one good foot and two sticks--watch out! I stumble and fall at least one time every day. I feel like a hamster trapped in a cage. I am at the mercy of my husband who works all the time and my teenage daughter. I kid you not, when I can drive I am going to drive as far away as possible and just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of somewhere other than my house!
My friend Stacey brought me one of her wii games, Mario Party 8, and that has been great fun. At least it keeps me entertained for a couple of hours each day. I still do not like daytime tv and refuse to watch court tv or who the baby daddy shows! Well, I am hoping for good news from the doctor tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed!

Peace out!!

It's Friday, Yea!

Why am I so excited it's Friday? I'm not sure. When I typed it in, I was thinking....what's really the big deal? I don't know, really. Today I went to physical therapy and found out that I will be on crutches for another 2 weeks. Bummer! I was really thinking I would have been in a boot by now, but nope. I may not be going back to work when I was hoping to either. I may not be going back until after Valentines Day. I go to see the doctor Jan. 23 and find out if he is going to release me or not. The highlight of my week was getting a wii. It is great fun. I really do not like watching television (hate court shows, soap operas and talk shows, so what's left in the daytime?) so the wii is entertaining.
Today my best friend (we have been bff since we were 15 yrs old) picked me up and took me to the doctor, then to LaMadelines, then to see the movie "Bride Wars". It was really good and great fun. Thanks Michelle!
Tomorrow Stacey is coming over and bringing her collection of wii games. I am always up for company! Should be lots of fun, yea!
Well...I really need to get off of the computer and work on my bible study. Amanda will be home after while and there goes my quite time!

Well...today is the first day that I am offically all alone. Boo Hoo! How will I ever recover? Amanda is back in school (they had late arrival today: 10:30) and Scott is working an extra job at the bank. I am looking forward to some alone time! The pastor at our church has given us a challenge. We are reading Psalms 119, and are to read it each day and reflect on the passage. He wants us to ask the question: "What does God want me to know?" It is the longest Psalms (176 verses), written as an acrostic poem devoting 8 verses to each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. I have read it through one time, then went back to the first stanza if you will and reflected. (so far so good...) What do I think God wants me to know? Well...this is my take. We all fail miserably and will continue to do so. We are not perfect and never will be as long as we are on this earth. God made us just the way we are, and we should put all of our faith in HIM, not things of earthly value. God will never let us down.
