This is just going to be a very random post. Most of it won’t make much sense I am sure but I have a lot of one or two sentences floating around my brain…..
Today I finally read day 100 for my Bible reading plan. I have two different reading plans going on right now. The one I am actually reading is the Canonical and I should be closer to 300 days than 100 days. But I am reading and that is what is important. I then listen to Four Streams as I fall asleep at night. Both of these are from the YouVersion application on my phone. Love it really. If I don’t have my Bible I can still read, but I really do like having my Bible. I really like highlighting things He is pointing out to me. I made it too day 100! And it was: 2 Samuel 19, 2 Samuel 20 and 2 Samuel 21. It will probably me so much more when I hit day 183 and I have passed the half way mark!
My Middle Monkey is becoming involved with things as school. I am grateful because for a very long time he has avoided things that have to do with the school. At the same time I hate that he is involved with things because the things he picks seem to take up so much time. Call me selfish but I like my Wednesdays. I get to go to Bible study in the morning and I get to either do choir or Bible study at night. But with him doing all these school things that is becoming really difficult. Especially now that he no longer having practice at the school and we have to drive him to and from his practice and to and from practice to his team dinners. Not only does it cut out the one thing I love, it is going to break our gas budget.
Oldest Monkey got a new job. He starts his training this week. All I can say about this is please pray that he picks up quickly and is able to keep and maintain this job.
Jack in the Box is finally an employee at the place he has been temping. It comes with a small raise. Hours don’t change, days don’t change and shift doesn’t change. We will be able to enroll (or maybe I should say we have to enroll) and participate with the insurance plan they offer. They only offer one and it isn’t really that bad compared to others he has had but it still is going to hurt our budget. But I am giving thanks and praise that we are able to move forward. I have joy and feel peace about this.
My mouth is killing me. I am seriously about ready to go on an all liquid diet because everything I get is getting stuck and then I am having pain. I am beginning to doubt being able to hold out until the insurance starts. And then getting in for a first appointment and then back for repair work and coming up with the money for it. And praying that it hasn’t gotten so bad that I need a root canal instead of just being cleaned out and refilled.
I am so exhausted. I am beginning to think that something is going on with me. I don’t sleep well at night. But not only that but I think my health or lack of health has a lot to do with it (duh). Maybe going on a liquid diet wouldn’t be such a bad thing! hahaha I really need to lose some weight so I can start feeling better. I am beginning to feel like a hypochondriac with all that is “wrong” with me.
Remember to Praise Him!
I have been struggling to do much. As I sit in my living room right now I am frustrated with myself and others in my home.
Yes we have a roof over our head’s. Yes we have food to eat in the house. Yes for the most part our bills are paid. Yes we have cars to drive. Yes we are healthy (for the most part).
I have no motivation. I am dealing with depression and reality.
When I am struggling I find little things to praise Him about. Why? Because I need to see the good things and not the bad. Doesn’t matter if I am praising Him over the rain or the fact I am able to go to the bathroom by myself (yes in this house that is a praise) or how about the fact that I made it through another day.
Seriously though right now my couch is overflowing with (clean thankfully) laundry. Why you ask? Because either I need to fold part of it or those piles that are folded somehow just sit there and never get put away. It seems like if I don’t do it all – all from putting it downstairs to wash, washing it, drying it, folding it and putting it away – it just gets to the point where I stop. I get so tired of it.
Dishes are overflowing in the sink. Why you ask? Well because if I don’t do them they don’t get done.
To prove a point about a week ago I stopped cleaning the stove. Seriously it is gross. People cook on it, grease splatter everywhere and food is all over. Since I haven’t washed it off – it is beyond gross!
Everyone in this house is tired of the way the house looks. Each day my Jack in the Box goes back to work after a day off he says the same thing, “On my next day off we are going to tackle getting some organization in this house and making it cleaner.”
Seriously?
Every day I do laundry, do dishes, clean up rooms, vacuum, and other things. But every day people walk in this house and drop things here, leave plates there, deposit crap everywhere.
Well when there is only one person out of 5 in the house who is doing anything on a daily basis – it stays looking like a tornado has gone through it. One person when you have 5 living in this house can’t do it all!
I am not perfect. I could get up at the butt crack of dawn and just go, go, go, go, go all day long. Following the Monkey’s around and cleaning up everything they get out or leave around.
I admit I waste time during the day. I don’t do all I could do. I have been praying to change that.
Today a lot of things toppled on top of each other.
Jack in the Box asked me to look in his mouth. His gum was red, swollen and his face was swollen. Into the dentist he went. He has a cracked, abscess tooth that needs a root canal. The dentist visit was $57, the antibiotic was more than I was planning on and the root canal and crown will cost over $2000 and needs to be paid upfront.
Oh and then he was told today the store is pretty much full and they don’t think they will be hiring any of the seasonal employees and that they will begin layoffs about July 4th.
Now we don’t know for certain if he will be let go on July 4th and we really have no clue when it will happen or if it will happen. But the reality is there haven’t been positions to apply for. Those that have been open that he has applied for haven’t gone anywhere.
I am just overwhelmed with a lot of little things. I am trying to be better about a lot of things. I am just doing what I can.
Most of all I am trying to remember to praise Him no matter what goes on!
