Christmas Right Around the Corner

Toys R Us opened up at 7am today......so, while we were having a cup of coffee this morning...iI just came out and asked.......feel like taking me to Toys R Us???? "What for????"......well, my daughter wants the kids to have lots of presents to open....so she requested no money gifts......just wrapped gifts......what do you say??

We got to the store at 7:05 and my husband thought the place was closed....it was very quite and not so many cars in the lot.....hummmm...wait.....he saw someone walking around inside....so, I got out of the car....leaving him with the morning paper, coffee...his smokes and the dog.

It's been years since I was in the store......grabbed a cart and started walking....really not knowing what to get. My granddaughter loves to play kitchen.....so I got her some pots and pans and serving utensils and a toaster, coffee pot and blender. The little guy loves pirates and dinasors, cars and trains....you know Thomas & Friends.

Two hours later I leave with 3 large bags full......my husband just looked at me and said "I thought you said you'd be a hour.......sorry.......but inside I'm smiling....they are going to love everything I got......especially the beginner roller skates!!!!

When we got back home.....I was hungry....so I whipped up a big omelet, toast and we finished off the coffee.......after the dishes I vacummed and changed the bed. It looks like it going to be a lovely day out there......my husband took my mom to bingo....nothing special planned for the day...no babysitting assignments today....just taking it easy......just enjoying the little things...just enjoying the peace.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend and the little blessings from above. I stink at wrapping gifts....but I'll worry about that later.

What's Going On Here?

My husband was laid off his job about 2 months ago. He had a good run, he was there for about 7 months.....very good. The sad thing is, job opportunities do not look so good now and I don't know when they will be again. I hear it'll be another year til things pick up.....the end of the year is generally a problem anyway......so this is where we're at.....but wait.....my husband just got up and informed me that there is a good chance they are going back to work soon......is he talking in his sleep again? ......if it is true....I'm believing it is......Thank God!!

I have been going back and forth in my mind with the divorce...I want it ....I don't want it.....what's going on here....I feel like I'm a little crazy......am I?? Naturally my husband is not drinking now.....so he is this sweet person......am I falling for that again.....how old am I ...really??

My family was here on Sunday...we celebrated my daughter and her husbands birthday....my husband stayed upstairs watching football and we all ate at my mom's downstairs.......my granddaughter came upstairs and told him that she loved him and scribbled little notes saying so......he kept them and showed them to me at the end of the night.....the man was next to tears.....what's going on around here???

I am believing that the Lord will make a path in the wilderness and a river in the desert....I just have to stay still and let it be.
