My birthday

So I had a good birthday, they always come and go so fast. Michelle saved the day, I was totally bummed that Joe was not home and that since everyone pretty much works the day was going to be so ordinary. Now I was raised in a house where your birthday is a very special day, you get to do what ever you want, eat what ever you want, no chores etc... so now that I'm all grown up I still like that one day every year to be about ME. Joe did send me an email to wish me a great day which was really sweet, but sitting at home doing nothing just didn't make they day special. So Michelle came over and we went out to lunch, over to Ross then to Coldstone ( try the sweet cream ice cream, w/ black cherries and dark chocolate shavings so yummy in a Cherry Garcia kinda of way!) then Michelle had me over for dinner home made chicken noodle soup, very tasty. It was so nice not to have to cook and clean for one day.
Back to reality today though and the knowledge that I am 29 years old and it doesn't feel like it was that long ago when 29 years olds were old to me, scary.

My good friends Jess announced that she is pregnant, I'm so happy for her and excited to share the journey with her. Another count down begins!

Pure Frustration

So frustrated today! Hit the floor running, first Caden's basketball game, then back home to let Zoey out, then down to Erie to check out a cleaning job which I started and invested an hour and a half of my time to save more time tomorrow, then back home to let Zoey out, then to Longmont to Melissa's jewelry party, then back home to let Zoey out. Brenden had stayed with my grandma so when she invited me down to have dinner (and pick Brenden up) I should have said yes but since my butt was so tired from all the running I did I said I'm to tired, and now my parents think I'm horrible for taking advantage of my grandma, I'm the young one I shouldn't be that tired I should have driven down to get him. So now I feel like crap on top of being tired. Not to mention I have to call the vet again because Zoey has stared peeing all over the house again, not big pee spots but little trickles all over the place, super annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being fruitful

Joe comes home tomorrow and I am so greatful to have him back, this hitch I really missed him.

I went to church at Vinelife today, Michelle had told me that the music would be good, and it was. The message was good too. God calls us to bear fruit as we navigate through our spiritual journey. Bearing fruit meaning pass on the good word of God to others. It can be something as simple as volunteering for church because you never know who's life you might touch that way or something more delibrate as getting involved with missions to preach to those who might otherwise never hear about the word of God or accept Jesus into their hearts.

It definalty made me what to bear fruit in the name of Jesus and do my part to help carry on his legacy!

Today I start fresh!

Yesterday was a very hard day for me. From the moment I woke up till the moment I went to bed I seemed to be consumed in negativity. Caden had an attitude for which he is in his room now working on an apologie note for me. And Brenden, well I guess you just have to ask for an extra scoop of patience and calm each morning to get through a day with him. As for the dog well let me just say love her to pieces, will never own a puppy again! Being a single mom for 10 straight days has it's ups and downs, yesterday I had more downs today I'm focusing on more ups. I do believe that each new challenge that we face just makes us more of who GOD wants us to be and if you turn your eyes to him in prayer and thankfullnesss you will see your situation in a new light.

I'm now back home after taking Caden to his basketball game. He played better then last week but still has far to come. Brenden did ok for me considering I was the only one responsible for both of them which when they are doing two different things can be rather challenging. I refused to let them ruffle my feathers and that has been a good thing. Travis and Jess stopped by to fix the chair Brenden broke yesterday which if Travis can fix it will save us about $175 to replace it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
