Good Point

Yea, Kendra, Good point. It is wise advice, "one day at a time". They use that in AA/NA and I think it can apply to pretty much anything you wish to accomplish. Today I will not take drugs. Today I will exercise. Today I will be an excellent mommy to my daughter. Today I will talk to my friends. Today I will call my grandma. Today I will take the time to email someone who it will mean something to. Today I will make an honest attempt at accomplishing my 'to do' list. Today I will clean my kitchen before I go to bed. Today I will clean someone else's house to the best of my ability. Today I will keep a positive attitude and be thankful for all the great things and great people in my life. Today I will pray and I will be hopeful for the future.

forcing it

Ok I am forcing myself to post because I have a couple minutes, Mahna free. Unfortunately it is 11 pm and I am TIRED and want to go sleepy Poo. I made coffee cake for my friend Cindy and I to enjoy over coffee at 9 a.m. tomorrow. I hope it tastes closely to as good as my mommy's used to. I finally jumpstarted my "get on the right track" in January thing. I have actually exercised hardcore 3 times in the last week. I have been praying more and I found my bible. Hey it is a start. It is better than what I was doing last week. I have been spending lots of good quality time with Mahna lately, too. Or maybe just appreciating it more lately. She is so much fun. So playful. I see why people can't wait for their kiddo to grow out of baby stage. I just didn't realize what I was missing several months ago. I do try to make the most out of these days we have together where I am not cleaning for anyone. I try not to ever clean on Mondays, so we always have Sat. Sun and Monday straight. I am not cleaning tomorrow either, but Weds thurs and Friday this week I am booked solid! I have had 4 new people approach me in the last 2 weeks! It feels good to be in demand. It is not a bad thing to be making extra money shortly before we invest in our first home. I want to pay off as much junk as possible and live off cash or maybe even save a little to the side besides our "house fund". Jarrod and I are so excited about getting a house. It is our shared excitement that makes it even better. I just have to say that in so many ways he and I are polar opposites. Music, personalities, beliefs (some) and socially. BUT when we do have something in common it just makes it so much better! Back to my Smirnoff Ice and nighty night Ya'll!

writers blok

I don't know what my reason or excuse is so I am going to say I have writer's block. I sit here and stare at the computer with nothing to say. During the day while I am cleaning other people's houses, I think of all sorts of clever things to blog about. By the time I get home, POOF they are gone. Maybe I should carry a tape recorder. Oh yea, Cory is borrowing it. He saw "White Noise" and is now attempting to record ghosts in his kitchen. Yes, he is yet again jobless and enjoying way too much free time being a nut.

Well I am just a screwup lately. I haven't made my resolutions yet. I am purposely procrastinating. I am being lazy and flowing with whatever feels fun right now and I don't want that big "life changing moment" to happen yet. I haven't worked out in almost two months. I quit Weight Watchers a while ago. I make it to church maybe every 6 weeks, and when I do go, I am convinced that this week will be different and I will make myself go every week. I just have the BLAHS and am not really making much of any effort to get out of them. I guess I will just ride the wave and see where it takes me.

I visited a Pawn Shop for only the 3rd time in my life yesterday. I bought a video game. Therefor I did two things I never do in one day. I am really excited tho. I got Wheel Of Fortune and it is really fun. Too bad Jarrod is better at EVERYTHING than I am so he keeps beating my pants off. I am just happy to have a video game that I like so I can be a little part of Playstation social circle. HA.

My little poopkins is just cuter than ever. She is quite the communicator. She points to where she wants you to sit and wants to constantly be read to. She also does a lot of mimicking of me, my mom and gma. It is so cute to see her growing up and being more of a person. Now if she would just GROW. I try not to worry about it, since the doctors tell me she is just a small person. But sometimes when I am buying her clothes I worry about her wearing 9 month clothing at the age of 16 months..... I guess I am also a little insecure because a few of my friends have younger babies who are much bigger.

For the weekend we had a short visit to San Antonio, but it was a fun two hours. Then we spent a day and 1/2 with Kendra and family. That was fun, too. It made me want to stay and stay and stay and live there all of us together again only now we are older and married and thankfully our huzbands get along and we all have a good time together, even with our sometimes extreme differences in lifestyle and personalities. I am thankful for all my siblings, and I hope Mahna will have some siblings someday. Another thing I am waiting for to "kick in" is the baby bug. 16 months old and I am still not really itchin for another.

AS ALWAYS thanks for reading and I will try to keep up better, but hey....... you know me.

howdy loyal readers!!!!!!!!
