JP is going thru something...
The bus driver assistant lady told me that she is having problems with him lately re/: his behavior. :( Talking too much, standing up, wont listen. ??? (p.s I never knew that you counldnt talk to your friends on the bus.)
Why all of a sudden? I am worried.
When I asked him what was going on, he said he " was tired".
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

T*G*I*F*
Counting down the weeks until my new joby job as a SAHM. 6 more to go.
I cheated this am and spend a couple of hours at home with my little Mimi.
Made her breakfast and we played blocks for a little bit. Just the 2 of us.
I don't think the boss was very happy about me coming late though.
I am tired of working for the weekend. Rat race. Rush. Rush. Rush.
Time to ENJOY everyday, live life on MY terms, nurture my children, teach them how to live a righteous life, less focus on material things, more on the things that really matter. Show them how to be kind, loving, patient, by example.
Have dinner on the table for my super sweet sexy husband. To pack his lunch at 4 in the morning. To actually have time to set out his clothes, boots, keys, cell phone for him. Small things that make a big difference. Thats what I want.
I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I am fast forward these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grumpy 5 year old
I swear, ever since JP turned 5 years old, he is ornery as all get up!
What gives?
Is this normal?
Is 5 the bratty age?
I want my sweet 4 year old back!
He is SO demanding! Whiny demanding. Tears and jeers... the whole 9.
In church last night, he wouldn't shake any ones hand after prayer. RUDE!!! GRRR! I know he is "just 5" but to me, that's disrespectful. I felt like such a loser parent when he crossed his arms and refused to acknowledge our "church friends" ( as he calls them).
He demands a "special treat" each day when he gets off of the bus, and makes a scene if I don't have something waiting for him. WHAH? Um, no! Sorry!
What else? He is a BULLY at T-ball practice. Jerking the ball from the smaller kids, cutting in line during drills, sliding at every possible play, even when catching a rolling ball! *crazy eyes*
Mocks us when we are trying to discipline him. Saying "Johnny doesn't have any rules, only toys".
Time to step it up. Parenting is so hard!

lucky wee-ner
I won $40 on the Texas Lottery Scratch off "Weekly Grand" ticket last night.
I never win anything, so yes, I am all cheesy about it. LOL!
Funny thing is that I bought the ticket at a self serve machine at the end of the grocery store check out. Just on a whim. I dont usually gamble. :P
Dh wanted to make a pit stop at a convenince store down the road to buy more tickets because I was "hot"... dont push youre luck buddy. Sheesh. *rolls*eys*

My sister <3
I love my sister.
After lots of downs in our relationship, we are finally where we want to be.
We had a perfect day yesterday, a very nice and peaceful Easter. Pretty tablescape, delicious food, sincere hospitality, heart to heart conversations. Everything I have imagined it to be-- and what I have longed for so long.
God is good.
Today is one year she is clean and sober.
All the glory to God.
I beleive in miracles.

update on leaving my job....
**************************
I finally told my brother that I plan to leave my job at the end of May. It was very emotional (on my part). I tried to be graceful, but i ended up being a big cry baby. I dont know why it was so hard. Anyway, its done. I feel free now. He was understanding, and still wants me to work part time after hours (monthly). Its a compromise, plus the extra money will come in handy.
I told him Friday just as I was getting off, and I cried and cried in my car afterward. Dont really know why... I wasnt sad, or happy... just emotional. It was good to get it all out.

Its almost Easter!
I love Holidays!
Mostly the crafty stuff and baking.
The kids and I will be making the chick cupcakes (the bunny ones look so generic) AND the carrot napkin thingys. Cute huh? I already bought all the the stuff to make them. Cant wait until Saturday!
This year we are having a BBQ at our house, right after church.
Elgin Sausage
Macaroni Salad
Corn on the Cob
Deviled Eggs
Simple and Springy. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Brave
01 : Brave(Nichole Nordeman)
The gate is wide
The road is paved in moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
You're safe and sound
andUntil now it's where I've been
'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's been love,
Your love, that cuts the strings
So long status quoI think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
I am small
And I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
I say Your name
Just Your name and I'm ready to jump
Even ready to fall...
Why did I take this vow of compromise?
Why did I try to keep it all inside?
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
Every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if you believe in me
That changes everything
So long, I'm gone
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
I wanna be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
