Just Another Day

     Seems as though it has been for ever since I've posted. Well, it actually has been a while. I'm not very good with keeping up with this. I need to get better so I can capture our ever changing, fast paced life. Seems like days just fly by now. I wish they would slow down just a little bit.
     I'm really enjoying working weekends now. Well, let me be honest...I don't enjoy working every single weekend, but the people I work with make it all worth it. I couldn't ask to work with a better group. I've also been really lucky at finding people to switch or work for me on the saturdays that Jason races. So I've been pretty happy about that. However, Jason has decided that he is going to be racing this coming saturday and I have to work. It's really too late to try and find someone to switch with me now at work. This will be the first race that I haven't been to. I'm pretty bummed about it. He has promised me that he will text me updates. I know he will, but it will definitely NOT be the same as being there.
     Chloe has gotten so much better with her potty training. She has only had a few acidents in the house in the last few weeks. It has been so nice! I'm so proud of her! I'm lucky to have such great dog babies! They love to sleep!! Which works awesome for me. HA! We love to take long naps. Especially on rainy days! Chloe takes naps with us in the bed, but at night time, she sleeps in her crate.
     I have pretty much postponed going back to school right now to get my Bachelors. I really don't look forward to going back. I originally wanting to go back so I could be a school nurse, however, the longer at work at the hospital, the more I love my job. I love the fact that I only work 3 nights a week and have 4 days off every single week! It's amazing! And lets not forget the nights when I get a call about 5:10 pm telling me they are going to put me on call! Oh, how happy that makes me! HA! I've pretty much decided that I love the hours that I work and how flexible my job is and the fact that I don't have to wake up in the mornings. I don't know if I could actually do a job now that was 5 days a week and have to wake up so early in the morning. Thats why I'm not rushing to go back to school as of right now.
     Jason had a race this past weekend. He qualified 3rd and finished 3rd. We were very excited! He's getting closer and closer every week to a win! We were also blessed to bring the car home in one piece. The whole race seemed like a crash fest and boy were tempers rising!
     I have decided that I want to try to start cooking. Yes, me cooking! I really need too. All this fast food is definitely not doing my body any good. Jason never gains a pound, however, I gain weight for him plus me! Its definitely not fair! I have no idea where to start with the cooking. I will definitely let you know how it goes! Think I will end on that note today =)

What I Think..

     I'm writing this just to get things off my chest. I'm so tired of hearing about gay marriage, etc. I believe in God. I believe I am a Christian. No, I don't go to church, but that doesn't mean I can't have a relationship with Him. I grew up in church and went to Sunday school every sunday, but as an adult I feel that I don't have to go to church for God to love me. I don't believe that you have to go to church in order to get into heaven. Whether or not you get into heaven is between you and the Lord. I believe that God loves EVERYONE. He loves gay people, murderers, thieves...EVERYONE. I believe that everyone should have equal rights. I believe that if two gay men or women want to get married then they should be able to. I believe that if two gay people want to go into a church and worship, then they should be able to without judgement. They're relationship with God is between them and God. It's not for you or I to judge. That's my opinion and what I choose to believe, but that doesn't mean that you have to agree with me. I believe that people deserve to be happy. I think people pick and choose what they want to believe out of the bible. I believe that there are people that sit in church pews every Sunday worshiping and praising knowing all the while they are cheating on their husbands or wives, yet, they THINK because they wear their skirt and their hair as high as heaven, they will automatically get through the gates of heaven. I DON'T THINK SO. What I'm trying to say is, God loves everyone no matter what and people should love others no matter their sexual preference. I do believe that God intended for marriage to be between a woman and a man, but I don't believe that God doesn't love gay people. I'm not gay, I am happily married..but, I do have a brother that is gay. I love him just as much today as I did before he came out to me. He is still the same person and God loves him just as he loves me. Don't judge people. You do not know what or where they have been or come from. Love all and respect everyone. Thats what God would want us to do. Not judge people because of what they believe. I do understand that their are plenty of people who do not agree with the above, but like I said that is their own opinion and they have a right to their opinion just like I have mine. I just wanted to get this out and off my chest. It hurts when I read hurtful things on facebook, etc. about things that people post about gays and religion. And a lot of the people posting the things call themselves christians. However, they surely don't act like it. I'm sorry if this is offensive to anyone, but this what I believe. Thanks for listening.

I'm Back...AGAIN!!

     It's yours truly yet again! haha. I'm gunna give this blog thing yet another try. I want to do this for me. To remember the "little things" in my life. I'm not writing this blog for others to read (you can if you want, but it'll probably be really boring), but for myself because I want to remember everything. Every LITTLE detail about my life and what I love and don't love.
     Since I have blogged last, some things have changed in my life. One being that we got another fur-baby! Her name is Chloe. I love her to pieces. I also found out where I will be working for good in the hospital. I'm not on orientation anymore. I work on a medical-surgical floor.

This is my Chloe girl! =)



     I want to become a better person. I think I'm already a good person, but, I want to be BETTER. I want people to be around me and think "man I wish I could be more like her". That's what I want. I want my faith and happiness to rub off on people. I want to change peoples lives. Not just medically. Don't ask me how to do that, but, that's what I want. I want to worry, stress, and be anxious LESS and  LIVE MORE. I want to read my bible everyday and pray multiple times a day. I want this to be natural for me. Not something I have to make myself sit down and do. I want to be a better wife. I want to start eating better and drinking more water. I want a family, yes, I want a family right now. I know this probably sounds crazy, but, this is what I want. I want these things.
     I have a little problem called "participatory anxiety". It runs my life. I LET it run my life. It brings me down and takes away my happiness at times. It hurts because I cause this to myself. I make myself feel this way. It has gotten better, but I want it to go away completely. I don't want it running me anymore. I want to find a way to make it go away. I have gotten better about talking myself through things and making myself see.."look you are doing this to yourself". I need to stop worrying about whats going to happen tomorrow and start living today. That's exactly what I need to do. However, it's easier said than done.
     I want to start doing the FlyLady thing...

What I did today:

     This morning J took Buddy to the vet before work. He has something viral and is on antibiotics. I went to lunch with my good friend P at a little deli on Main St. Then, we went in a few little stores. I bought nothing except a key chain! GO ME! haha. As soon as she brought me home, Chloe and I went to the shop for a little while and road to the store with J for a snack. Now I am back home and need to be straightening up and doing a little laundry. Instead, I'm doing this. Typical me. Anyways, we have no plans yet for this evening. We will probably get something to eat and then maybe go visit my parents for a little bit.

How I feel right now: OK. I have many things I WANT to do. I HOPE I can do them all.

     So, it's me AGAIN! It's been just about a month since my last post. =( In that post, I talked how I hoped that I would be blogging more...as you can see, that didn't happen. Hopefully now I can get back on track with this.
     Anyways, I actually cleaned up some today (suprise, suprise) & cooked dinner! No, I'm not sick..I don't think...my nose is a little runny though! haha. JK. I even done a little laundry also. And of course I had to get in a little shopping. I was just browsing around on Etsy & found this beauty!! Can't wait to get it & hang it on my door!! If you want to check out more wreaths from this shop just go here.
