Confused and Trying to Sit Still

My computer at work has become ridiculously slow and that's why i haven't blogged. I want to chunk it out the window. Its speed is much like dial up. It's frustrating.

Mothers Day was freakin' awesome. My family came down and spent the whole weekend with us. In our tiny house, all crammed in, and we loved every minute of it. I am still trying to catch up on laundry. We went through 12 rolls of toilet paper in 2 days. How do the Duggars do it?

I have gained every pound back I lost. I put in my resignation at work, took it back, and put it in again. I can't believe my boss hasn't just fired me. All of this makes me eat.

Cody quit dipping over a week ago. It is safe to say I was not happy about this until a few days ago. I just thought he was laid back and easy going. The first week was tough for ALL OF US!

I have decided to quit my job and stay home next year with Luke. Jake will be starting Kindergarten. I have also decided that if a job comes open closer to home, I will take it. So, will I stay home next year or not? Who knows. This also causes me to eat! Oreos at bed submerged in milk for at least two minutes is the only thing that comforts me.

If you feel like this is the most random post, it is. This is exactly how I feel. So confused. I make up my mind one week that I am staying home no matter what and then BAM something hits me and I question it. I have been praying and I know my friends have been praying for me too. But he's not answering me quick enough! Ha! The lady who teaches next to me, who I love, reminded me of a verse that I have tried to find comfort in. (besides Oreos)  "Be still and know that I am God." It's very hard for me to sit and be still!

It's a List- AGAIN

I need to blog and the only way it will get done is if I make it a list. My mind only works part time this close to summer!

1. Cody and I were flipping through the channels Saturday and saw a new show on called "Happily Divorced." I was in complete shock. It's a sad world we are living in today. I commend any couple or individual that has seeked help to mend relationships or themselves. I would imagine it would be very tough, but what a testimony they can be to others!

2. Cody and I have put our house on the market. It's been there for about a week. We know that the time is right and I know God has a plan for us. Mom recently told me about the St. Joseph statue you can bury in your yard and there is a certain prayer you can pray. Google it. It's pretty amazing. I ordered mine yesterday. I can't wait to bury it.

3. Amber Nicole came this weekend. Amber has been one of the greatest friends I have ever had. We were so close in high school and I love her more than I can describe. She enlisted in the Army right out of high school so our visits are few and far between. When they do occur I treasure every second. Besides being the funniest person I have ever met, she's real. She tells me what I need to hear, sets me straight, and holds nothing back. Every body needs a friend like that!  Her kids are the most well behaved children EVER. And they are so sweet to each other. Amber admitted this weekend it wasn't normal the way she used to take care of me. She was on the basketball team too. She kept up with my uniform, school books, and anything else that I left behind. Low and behold half way home on the bus I would realize my warm-up top was still in the bleachers and I was going to have to run until I threw up if Coach found out. The next day at school my stuff was always in my locker. She had my back every time. We had an even swap going on. I had a vehicle and gas money and that's where she lacked.  I loved seeing her face and visiting with her kids. We did figure out we are only two hours away, and I am debating on sending Jake for the summer so he can come back in check! It must be the boot camp, drill sergeant in her!

4. T-Ball has started and we have had two games. I have to say I am pretty impressed with Jake. He has gotten better each practice and game and it's been so fun to watch. He's number 4 this season. We tried to start with number 11 but it swallowed him. The higher the number the bigger the jersey. And I don't think its cool to roll sleeves up anymore.

5. Last but not least, I want to mention our old neighbors and friends, the Neylands. You can read Wendy's blog here. They have an incredible testimony!! Please continue to pray for sweet baby Kaydence, she continues to show our little town of Centerville He is in complete control!
