Good For Today

Ok, So I been looking online for someplace for me n my daughter to "get the heck outta Dodge".I plan on leaving tonight at 6. And Im on a budget So this morn I get up and go to read my daily devotional. Only I don't wanna go to Kenneth Copeland's website. I feel to go to Morris Cerullo instead where I see THIS :

God Will Direct You Feb 24

What a hoot!
Anyway,hope y'all have a slammin Friday! Whatever that means.......

Overcoming

well, the last few days have been doozy's. One of my kids is feeling overwhelmed at the things of life. Im feeling overwhelmed at the things around me (fighting w/one child,feeling for the overwhelemed, the other one has her own adult issues involving kids) and etc,daycare,money,foreclosure issues,other responsibilities.yuk.
I am a Christian and glad about the fact that if I was not I would have LOST IT years ago.
So after reading Souls post I am going to be glad that if prioritys are in order then I will be thankful for the people in my life and what really matters (Im working on being there).
I do remember being on the verge years ago oof literally breaking down. I was chosing to be away from God. But I got so darn angry that I cried out (literally) to Him and said I needed Him. And I was mad and depressed. And I remember that He did answer me. I ended up exhauseted and the next AM I woke up feeling waaay better.
So I am going to keep believeing Him to move like that again and I am working on changing things in my life. I take on too much of other peoples stuff.
I am hoping that me and skye can get away this weekend and go somewhere quiet, away from the immeadiate area. mebbe the beach or mtns or at least as far as 60.00 takes me! Ha!
Wish I had a camper. or a husband..LOLOLOLOL!
Ok, im gonna go get ready for church and lose this attitude during praise and worship. Yah,its THAT good!
And I will apologize to all 2 people tommrow that read this blog for my crazy,make no sense blog.
**Wow, I think I feel a little better already

Random Thoughts

This is my end of the weekend thoughts. Tommrow I go back to being John and Kate plus eight. Just minus John and one or two kids depending on what day of the week it is. Yah, I act like her sometimes im told.
We had a great "singles" meeting last night. The thing I like about singles is that we are taught and carry the mentality that this is our time to accomplish in our singlehood the things we cant do when we are married. marraige carries different responsibilities that singleness does not. Instead of caring for just yourself, you care for and consult decisions w/your spouse.
When your single you can get up and go when you need to.
I also like the mentality that we are not "pining away" or "waiting out" our singlehood. I am not looking for someone to complete me, like Im half a person w/out a mate. Im working on becoming a whole person (getting rid of most of my luggage). Instead of looking for the "right one" Im working on myself being the "right one".
ok, on to the next subject........

I hope topost personal pics of family on here. How do I do that in the middle of a blog?
Geez, I finally take a decent pic and need to post it before I back out.
okee, Im so tired I need to go. Post a thought on this blog will ya?

Where is yall?

hello hello hello. Is anyone out there? out there? out there?
Looks like we all took a break.

Row row row yur Boat

Anyone got paddles and a boat? We got a flood watch out here!! Hahaha

Just Another Day

Well, not really. Im still fighting this stupid virus. I have no insurance to see a Dr. But I do have my faith in God and vitamin B and C.
It's been raining here for 2 days and for the California desert that's refreshing!If my cell phone worked properly I would post a pic of our gorgeous desert. I lived in Washington state for 2 years and it rained all the time but it didnt smell the way the Antelope valley does during rain. I missed it.
Ok, Im rambling because I really don't have much to say.
I will after this weekend. Beetween tonight and Sun I get to:
1).Pass out flyers for our "Sat Night Alive". Tonight.
2).facial for me and daughter (compliments of Bethany for Chritmas),shopping for our Sun lunch @ church for about 100 people,errands for an 80 yr old man and THEN Saturday Night Alive (which will be loads of fun,seriously,no sarcasm). All on Sat.
3).I get to set up our lunch and pick up Chinese (yummy) food for all those 100 people and serve them. And clean up (w/help) after them. Yay!
Ok, don't get me wrong, I believe God puts certain gifts in you and in order for you to be happy, you need to utilize those gifts. But I will hopefully not wiped out by this weekend.
I really really really really really want a weekend alone on a sunny beach (ok already! Ill SAY it .......HAWAII!)
so much for not saying anything. TTFN!

Down But Not Out

Hello Blogland!
I was super ikky yesterday. I stayed in bed all day. I had one kid yesterday for my daycare. Ipicked him up, fed him a bannanna and we went down for a nap! We slept for about 4 hours. I then woke him up and had my daughter take him home (thanks Skye!) and yup, you guessed it went back to bed! Exciting aint it? I even missed church and I never miss church! Were a wild bunch and Jesus always makes his prescence known, so I hate missing.
But anyway,hope y'all are doin great! What??? I can say y'all if I want to. Im from SOUTHERN Cali,doncha know!
Ok, I gotta go my day is booooring. All I have been doing is wiping snot off little kids noses.
TTFN

Bloh Bloh Blog

Hello everyONE,
Today is a day to fight sickness and Im sick of being sick!
I have been choking on phlegm for 4 days now. Yuk.
S'allright though, I have nowhere to go but up^
I have been trying to find jobs in the prison system. They have a hiring freeze,but I believe I will have doors opened to me.
My friend has a job there doing what we both did in the school we worked at.
She makes appx 20.00 hr working w/adults in a classroom setting w/incarcerated adults.Sounds good to me!
Being a Christian I am right now having to practice what I preach. My daughters fiance is here and while I have to love him, I really don't like him. He is making progress in the fact that he is working on serious character flaws (anger).But still has a long way to go because you have heard the old saying you treat those closest to you like dirt when things get hot.Pray for me.
Ok, that's enough, I gotta go.
Cya!
PS. I have tried everything I can to find bloggers on blogspot but still dont know how to find some sort of search engine. But I have built it, they will come........

another awesome video

My girls were in this drama. We just hav'nt posted it yet. This is just the best version:

Best song on the planet

Just shut out the world,shut your eyes and imagine it's just you and Jesus (like a prayer). Think of it as MORE than just a song Tell me you won't be changed! Dang ,it's like taking a bath after a hard day working........
