Hard Day

We've been seeing alot of this lately...yes, that would be the remote control. I guess she is already wanting to be in control of the TV! 



I am just now starting to get pictures of me that I actually like. I guess I just have been really down on myself recently - my hair needs to be done, I need a tan, I need to lose some weight....

Blah.

Blah.

Blah.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

I woke up this morning in a really. really, really bad mood. Like a I-am-afraid-my-husband-is-about-to-pack-it-up-and-wish-me-the-best kind of bad moods. 

My daughter woke up at 3:45 needing to eat. Back to sleep.

My stepson woke us up at 6:30 to ask if he could put his clothes on. Uuhhhh....wha? Back to sleep.

 Then he came in again at 6:45 to ask if he could play Wii, even after we've had multiple conversations about NOT waking us up before 7:00. And even then, if it's 7:00, yes, you may turn on the Wii at a low volume.

Did he remember?

No.

I couldn't go back to sleep after that. This week, I've gotten about 4 hours of sleep a night. I can usually survive on that for a few nights, until I just need a rest TO rest. I need a good night's sleep. I didn't get that last night. And I really needed it.

But, like my husband said, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO RIGHT NOW TO MAKE IT BETTER???"

Nothing. There was nothing he could do.

SSSOOOO....I could spend the rest of the day being mad, making everyone's day horrible, being depressed, sitting in bed crying, OOOORRRRR...

I could get up and make my day better.



So, I did. What choice did I have?

I guess, I have alot of choice. I was starting to really get depressed this week. I don't really know why. My hormones are going nuts. I think because I stopped nursing, now it's back to P.M.S. Yuck.

Pray for me. I have lost alot of my patience these days - pray that my husband just doesn't throw in the towel. Just kidding, he wouldn't do that.

Life is hard sometimes, isn't it?

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
