Happy Memorial Day everyone! I had to work today but I did take time to remember and be thankful for all of those that sacrificed so that I may enjoy the wonderful freedoms and liberties I enjoy. I have to share that our love bug has her 3rd birthday party all planned out. She has told me of definite guests that she wants there (her friends from her babysitters and her Godparents) and she has a theme. Drum roll please...Mickey Mouse!!! She wants a Mickey Mouse cake, Mickey Mouse balloons, and Mickey Mouse party hats. She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse and loves to watch it all the time. Therefore she has her own t.v. and tivo. I said I wouldn't but Joe and I really needed some programming that wasn't for two year olds. It's bad when you sing the "Hot Dog" song in the middle of the day, or any time of day as a matter of fact. She also loves Dora, yet another reason for the t.v. in her room. Love bug almost made me cry the other night. I sing the song "Baby Face" to her and "Jesus Loves Me" and she started singing "Jesus Loves Me". Of course it was "Jesus Love Meeeeeee" in her sweet little voice but it was beautiful. It was another moment for me to realize how my parents must have felt when they heard me sing hymns in church. It is so important to have a relationship with Christ and have Him to turn to for guidance and direction and I felt in that moment that she is on that path.
In other news Joe's job duties have shifted and he got moved to another station. His station requires him to lift heavy sheets of metal and hang them. In doing so he is getting cut up very badly. His arms and legs are getting quite the beating and I am very thankful that he is such a good provider and I am very grateful to have such a wonderful man to call my husband.
I also have a confession to make. To those who know me this is no surprise and far from shocking. I am having a little problem finding my place in our new living situation. My husband Joe pitches in and always does his part of the housework and Joe's mom has been doing a large part what he doesn't get to. I am a little lost in this and don't know my place. I strive for perfection (I try everyday not to sweat the small stuff) and being a good housekeeper is one of those things. It sounds silly and it is but the way I was raised you wash the clothes and cook and clean. I'm just having trouble not having to do it all. I know, let me complain about something else like having too much disposable income. This is a very difficult thing for me and I am trying very hard to let go and be okay with not doing it all. I am a work in progress and just try to be a little better everyday.
Well that's the latest and greatest. No I haven't downloaded the pictures off of my old computer and no I haven't gotten a new battery for my camera. I will do both of those shortly. Remember I am a frugal person who doesn't enjoy spending money even if it is for something that I need. Anyway, until later goodnight to all and have a blessed day!
