Quote

This is from my little calendar that Mike gave to me about 15 years ago when we first started dating. It was a birthday gift. I love this calendar.

" As I ask for your forgiveness and embrace it, give me the courage to extend a forgiving hand to those who have hurt me. Amen."

"Flattery is the art of telling another person exactly what he things of himself."

Off to bed. Goodnight ya'll.

Blah Moments

Have you ever had a day where you just feel blah. The past few days have felt that way for me. I could just crawl into my nice smelling sheets and blankets and sleep.:) I haven't been sleeping well. With the vacation it threw me way off. Tomorrow back to the grind.:) When 5:30 comes around I will probably want to go back to sleep.:) Who wouldn't LOL. The kids are excited about going back to school. Tomorrow they have an away game. I can't go cause I have to get the van fixed so I can get it inspected and registered.

Here is a saying from a little calender I keep on my desk.

"People are certainly peculiar-they want the front of the bus,
the back of the church and the middle of the road."

Well ya'll have a great night.

My Routine schedule

This is my new schedule that I will be starting on Monday. My goal is to stay on top of it but I will have my days that I won't do as well as I would like. When I have those days then I just need to get back up and keep going. I haven't started my work schedule yet but will soon. My job orientation is on Tuesday morning. Hopefully I will start right away. I have always found that when I follow a schedule my day goes much smoother. I have to be more diligent at it cause naturally I am a lazy person and like to find reasons why I don't accomplish a task.

Here is my routines.:)
