The day

Today 

*Had coffee with my buddies

*I finished  making my second baby hat

*Cut my thumb with scissors

*learned about coniferous forests (again.)

*learned that I detest dealing with home insurance representatives and their silliness....I'm so sure you're gonna try and tell me you mailed us the check two weeks ago and act like it's normal that we haven't received it yet.  whatevs.

*started another argument with my husband over one thing simply because I'm irritated by something else, only to realize what an idiot I am and have to call and apologize for what seems like the 730th time in these last almost couple years of marriage

lost

*lost my other half on facebook....but only on facebook...she's still alive and well and that's what matters

*realized that it's okay not to try and fix things...sometimes I just have to understand there are instances in my life where it IS completely up to God...my only job is to be faithful and prayerful.......

*In that same moment I realized how often I fail at consistent prayer...or remembering to pray for certain things at all.....

*found out I didn't need a tapestry needle to sew a pom pom onto a baby hat but also learned that Gayle was right to my own humble discovery...the pattern for my pom pom baby hat is NOT the right one and indeed too square.......stupid 

*Decided that Amber better start having lots of kids so I can start getting rid of the baby hats I'm making for no good reason

*Forgot to call Brenda (crap...sunday is fast approaching)

*Forgot we're approaching Alex's birthday for probably the 20th time this week...hopefully tomorrow I remember...when it matters.

*Realized that my whole evening is thrown off simply because Alex didn't come home to say hi real quick before he went to the auction but at least he did go to the post office......but was it worth the sacrifice?  No.  Next time I won't make such a big deal about something getting mailed that very second.

*Understood that no matter what I have GOT to learn that I should be pleasing God not man....or woman...or child for that matter....and that when I try to be pleasing to God just deal with the fact that at times it's not pleasing to man...woman.....or child.....

*Kept the banister ledges cleared ...SWEET

*And had grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner and that was pleasing to child, woman, baby, and surely God because we made good on the food He's provided for us. (I left out pleasing to man..because man is at auction where he gets a free meal and it's probably ten times better than what I just made....oh well. to each his own.)
