FRIDAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

January 23rd, 2009 by Ang. -- Posted in ChitChat | 1 Comment »

Its finally Friday! It has been a really long week and I am glad that the weekend is upon us even though my Saturday will be busy. It was 53 degrees yesterday and gorgeous! Today it is 32 right now with temperatures falling all day. Wind chills below zero tonight and tomorrow’s high in the teens. I am dreading going out to do chores this morning. My list is short. It will still take me a good portion of the day to accomplish. I dread shopping day. Some day I will not have to hit every store in town just to be able to afford what we need, yk?

Chores
Breakfast
Deliver Eggs
Pick Up Tom’s Pay Stub
Get Groceries

Put Groceries Away-Cold stuff done. Need a rest before I tackle the rest of it.
Blog

Heading out to do chores as soon as I finish this post.

Dear Father,
What a roller coaster ride Cass has been on this week! Clarity! Please? Lord, can you also find some extra time in her day so that she has time to chat with me? I know that is selfish but I am asking anyway. And also, send her husband a job that will pay the bills. In Your name, amen!

    Ooh, I see you have been busy already. Good job. So far, I have called my cell provider and got that fixed. I’ve gotten dressed and ready to go to do a job at Wal-Mart. On the way, I am meeting GuitarGuy for lunch and to talk about youth stuff: he wants me to put some info on the church blog.

    When I get home, I need to
    hit the laundry really hard
    clean the kitchen which isn’t bad
    look at cleaning my bathroom which is
    blog because I am so far behind
    set up some kind of schedule
    make lesson plans
    it never freaking ends, does it??

    Lord, I thank you for today. I agree in prayer with everything Ang. said. I need some time to reconnect with my friends that does not consist solely of the latest atrocity in my ongoing soap opera life.

    Wisdom, guidance, strength, patience, freedom.

    Give Ang. energy today to accomplish her tasks.
    Amen

    I’ll be here when I can, but I still have the chat on my phone if you need me.

Here We Are

January 22nd, 2009 by Ang. -- Posted in ChitChat | 2 Comments »

I am hoping that getting back in the habit of cassanging will help my mental state. Do you realize that neither of us have cassanged since November 14th? So my list for today is as follows,

chores
eat breakfast
shower
dishes
wipe down stove
wipe down counters
clear off kitchen table
sweep floor
empty out fruit and veggie bins in fridge
fold laundry
put laundry away
wipe down washer and dryer
pick up living room
vacuum living room

eat lunch
blog-Only 3 more posts to write! Will work on these tonight in the luxury of my clean living room. :)
take cat to school for Melina’s show and tell
pick girls up from volleyball practice and boys up from basketball practice

I know it seems silly to list eating and showering. Sometimes I forget to do those things so on the list they go. I will be heading out to do chores as soon as I post this. That is about an hour earlier than I have been getting out there.

Today is supposed to be near 50! I may open some windows upstairs to air it out. Tom will be home tonight for the first time since Monday. He came home briefly on Tuesday to watch Clint’s ball game but other than that he has been on the road all week. I am looking forward to having him home!

Heavenly Father, I ask that you give clarity to Cass concerning her marriage. You are the only one that can answer the slew of questions that are going through her mind and mine both. Lord, please give me the words and wisdom to give to her when I need them. And, Father, I ask that if you are going to change that man you do it soon! Protect Cass from any missteps and give her patience and a kind tongue. In Your name, amen.

    Hey, that was the perfect prayer, just what I needed. I have missed praying with you, and in fact, mentioned it just the other day as I was praying with someone else. Yep, I’ve been cheating on you while we’ve been missing each other. *smile*

    I so know what you mean by forgetting the basics. I did not eat until after practice yesterday. I roared into action when I woke up, and stayed running all day. By the time I got where I could eat, my belly hurt and my throat was closed, so I didn’t.

    I wish I could share with you the amazing feeling I had last night. I was so content up there, and Ang., the confirmation came during the first song we worked on. It had been one the trio was working on, and suddenly all the musicians, plus a fourth singer was on it, and it was rockin’ and right, and I realized that was what I had seen all that time ago. Heh, sometimes I wish God would send written letters of instruction. I had assumed my desire to sing was selfish and I was scared. Anyway, the timing is right now, and I feel really good about that. As an aside, I did ask permission before I did it. Twice.

    Also, Patrick told me last Sunday night he plans to start going to church, maybe even join. We’ll see. You know that is pretty much a requirement, but it is one I have never voiced to him.

    So I took a nap instead of blogging. Too many late nights. Having Tom gone this much always messes with my sleep. I will blog tonight.

    Leaving here shortly to take in the cat for Melina. I will be home for a short while between the end of school and picking up kids from practices. I hope we can connect later on tonight. I want details, woman! :)

This domain is the best 10 dollars I ever spent.

So here I am at the public library, using one of their computers to do some necessary stuff.  Which included emailing you posting here.
 
So, he starts at the Scotchman next week.  He’ll actaully be working at 4 stores, all managed by the same guy to get 40 hours a week.  We had a bit of a financial discussion which ended with us agreeing that I would be in charge of the finances.  Mostly because I left him little choice, I guess.  We’ll see how that goes.
 
I am still looking for work.  He thinks it’s becasue I want to help him get out of this mess.  The truth is, it’s because I no longer trust him to do what he ought, but I guess we can keep that between us.  I never want me and the kids to suffer like this again if he gets another attack of the stupid.
 
I don’t think I’ll be getting internet hooked up at the house again soon.  I can use it for free here, there and everywhere, and that is money I can put toward the mortgage, etc.  I’ll pay the bill so I can get the phone turned on again, because it is just damn inconvenient to not have one, and I worry about the kids when he and I are both gone.  In fact, as soon as I have an actual job, I plan to ask my folks to borrow the money for that, so I don’t have to fret over them.
 
I guess that’s all for today.  I really miss chatting with you!  So……..are we gonna cassan……………..yeah, I think we will.

Now that I am here, do we want to change the settings back so that the comments are not all on the front page? Or do we want to leave the jelly on the bottom shelf?

 

Also:

Happy Birthday!

    I am so glad that he finally got something full-time. But you are very smart to keep looking for a job. What is the plan for schooling the kids?

    Man, do I miss being able to chat about that sort of thing! I am praying that you get your laptop screen fixed so that we can chat some.

    I am okay with leaving it the way it is. How about you?

    Thanks for the birthday wish. :)

    I am having quite the day and wish I had you to talk to. :( IM me when you can.

    Thinking of you both, Deb

    School will continue at home. And the library. And McDonalds. And church. All of which have free wifi, and the library even has computers ;)

    The singing boy is continuing to work on my computer, and should know tonight if it is a quick relatively cheap fix, or if I have to saver up some more money. Like, over a hundred. Sigh. It’s at his house, so …

    The loan is cleared for the phone as soon as I find work, and I am going today to check on the two Walgreens again. I should be able to IM with you this afternoon from Mama’s. Daddy has his second cataract surgery today, so I am going over there for some time this afternoon. I called too late to hook up with them this morning.

    Hocks continues to grow. I finished the book I was reading. And a magazine. And I remembered all the kids names. I may never get internet at my house again.

    The VBS was just about chaos. I came as close to quitiing a ministry as I ever have. But I didn’t, and next month will be better. I need to plan better, and I need to get the adult helpers up with kids during the openings and closings. And also, never turn my back on them for a second. I actually had to put down the mike and chase two of them across the sanctuary! That was when I almost threw it in, LOL.

    I’ll probably be singing next Sunday, this song right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qp11X6LKYY with Singing Boy and the other Youth Leader. At least I think that’s the right song—I can’t actually watch it here at the library.

    Ok, I think that’s all I have for now.

Monday

So, I am only saying it once today. Just so I can be doing the unexpected.

Today, I am still sick. Still. But I am tired of being sick, and I have things to do, and so I am going back on my Google Calendar plan. Lots of cleaning and blogging to be done. And this afternoon, I am going back to Mama’s. Daddy is having a cataract removed today. I was going to the hospital with them, but I am still sick. See above.

So, I never did get links, and I am tired of being strung along. I mean, it is acceptable to ditch me, that’s their prerogative. But it is unacceptable to keep stringing me alone for, what, six weeks now? So, I am moving on to other things. I have the jewelry making, but I am also looking into other things as well. And, I have some blogs to decide what to do with, too. I’ll be asking some advice on those, of course.

Ok, that’s it for me. As usual, I have 37 hours worth of stuff to do in the next 24. Plus a shower, which I will take when the house warms up a bit.
