Shoes?

So tonight I went to the mall to go get some new shoes, went to Champs, and their customer service today was sucking!! So I walked down the mall a little way to FinishLine where the customer service was excellent!!! So I looked at some shoes there when Brooke decided she had to go to the potty...okay fine..I took her!! We got back and we were looking and I found the shoes I wanted. While I was talking to her Brooke was in my view pushing around the stroller.. Well, I turned my back for not even a minute and out the door she went. Mind you, I'm looking at shoes so I only have the one I'm trying on my foot. So I holler her name and I don't hear anything. So, I decide she has run out and indeed she has...I hobble out of there with one of their shoes on, which I'm only trying on, and run after her. I remember that my purse is still int the store, so I stopped halfway and she meets me. I get her back in the store, ask her if she knows what's fixing to happen and she tells me that she's fixing to get a spanking. *ding ding* Right answer, next answer is that she gets strapped in the stroller. She threw a fit, a HUGE fit!!! So I got my shoes paid for and got the heck out of there. I felt sorry for them and they understood thankfully.

My sister called a little later and Brooke knew she was in big trouble because she didn't say a word for most of the rest of the evening!!!

Elevators


I wish someone would be at least decent to the people riding inside the elevator. I hate going in elevators because there is always that awkward silence in there when there are others riding with you. It's just really aggravating.

This morning I encountered Mr. Haughty Business man, who laughed at me when I asked him how he was doing. I secretely wanted to push him out of the elevator as it went by something that wasn't a floor. If I could've just figured out how to get the doors open at the proper time.

GRRRR....I was simply making a delivery and got treated like some circus animal because I WASN'T in a suit and tie!!! Really made me angry. Why do people have to act like they are so much better than others? What's the point? Are any of us really inferior or superior to those around us. Just because we have a degree and the person next to us has never stepped foot into a College building doesn't mean that we are somehow secretly better!!!

WHY?

Not to mention that "B" was being really stubborn this morning and peed on herself in the car this morning. So my already late morning just continued to get later. I got her to the daycare got her out of her seat and got her changed, and then she threw a fit with the daycare director...I felt horrible but I was already late to work. I just left her crying didn't tell her goodbye or anything. I feel so bad, but I was so mad, and I was trying to make it easier on the Director. She's so good with kids when they act like this. Lets just say that I think I'm also getting sick...grrr... I woke up hacking up a lung this morning...which is never a good thing..hahhahah!!!!


Make a nice Tuesday, I'm going to try...hahahah!!

It feels like just another Manic Monday!!!

Lent

So the goal for Lent this year is to quit cussing. It has gotten so bad at work between me and one of my co-workers that we both had to do something this year. From the finger to dropping f-bombs on a more than daily basis. It was so bad so this year friends I'm working hard to quit cussing and because I need to stop doing it around Brooke as well. So I will keep you up to date on that.

Onto other news...I have lost SEVEN pounds!! I'm excited and I'm not nearly where I want to be weight wise, but I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

Anyway, I hope to keep you up to date on my progress.

Goodnight America!!!

While You Were Sleeping

While You Were Sleeping
Casting Crowns

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had came
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping

As you read the lyrics things will pop out just as they did while I was listening to this song. I was amazed at the honesty they presented to the world. Read the parts about America it is so true. We are so worried about saving the trees and not saving the unborn children, or even those that made it into this world. Why? Why are American's self absorbed with self worth, the house in which we live, the cars we drive, the things we own, but the things that should really matter to us, they don't. The truth is that we have never been concerned with them. What about the homeless, are some homeless by choice? No, some are homeless because they couldn't get good jobs, they have been kicked out of their homes, or because they are so hooked on drugs that a home doesn't matter. Should these things matter to us? Absolutely. Now, I'm not saying that you should contribute to every man sitting on the corner with a sign that says "Will work for food." The truth is that they really dont' want to work. There are places for these people, it's called homeless shelters, the Salvation Army. There are these places, but we have made it so that they can't rely on these places because people will look at them differently.

I'm very guilty of not doing so, but I'd say that we all need to look at those less fortunate around us and see how we can help them.

P.S. Sorry it's so long...consider this Song Sung Sunday!!!
