Rolling Through Monday

Went to see Brave today it was AWESOME!!!   Such a good lesson to learn embedded in the movie.  I should have brought a box of tissues with me though as I was totally unprepared for the waterworks at the end of the movie.   Always with Disney films I feel so great to be a part of something completely wonderful and magical, from the opening credits to the end of the closing credits.    

After that we made our way to the library to pick up Marina whom gladly spent her afternoon in one of her favorite places to be.   I renewed my book, The Purpose Driven Life and checked out one about the power of praying for your children.   I really am so undedicated to doing so.   I need to change my spiritual life around a bit and get back on track.   Sometimes I completely come to my witts end with James and the antics he pulls, and other days, he's a complete angel.    The girls are predictable. James isn't and he just makes me want to pull my hair out at times.    I feel as though I need to exorcise the demons out of the child.  

Going to be heading on out to the Getty Museum tomorrow for our Tuesday afternoon outing.  Looking very forward to this little adventure as I have been waiting a long time to go to this place.  Will be taking lots of pictures for sure.      

It has turned out to be a rather beautiful day here in Southern California. Will be having pizza later in Nickkie's house and family game night.    But for now I am thinking of a good name for a new family blog, as I don't always like posting everything on Facebook.

Good night @ work

Actually I have had a few good nights this week with the exception of Friday night when I had to confront one of my runners about his insubordinate actions. The rest of the nights have been slow despite that
It's kids are out-of-school now. My regular runners are doing fantastic aim their jobs as with every passing day they seem to be making vast improvements in their skill.

As for me I am still in the process of trying to give my personality a makeover: trying to be extra careful as not to say anything negative about anyone, to be kind and considerate. I get too emotional over the simplest of things and I really need to listen more and instead of reacting I need to respond. I'm a work in progress.

Other than that since this is my Friday I am looking forward to my next two days off to recuperate and have some family time with the kids.

So Tired

It seems to be the story of my life at times as I am getting older.    But the problem is is that although I am wiped out very seldom do I actually get a good night's sleep, or sleep a straight eight hours.   So I drink plenty of Powerade when I am at work running around to make me alert and keep my body's precious electrolytes refilled.  

I hate that women are so vain at times.

Of course, when I was younger I was the same way.

Hopefully today will shape up to be better.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Irritated with life

I bet if I had called on the name of the Lord just once yesterday afternoon or evening after I had gotten to work, my burden of irritation would have been lifted immediately.  Did I do this? Nope. Just dug in my heels and let the aggravation of everything at work really take root in my  heart.   I just can't seem to let it go. The anger and resentment of how people are and how really low some are.  Just drives me nuts!  

Whenever I do manage to realize that it's not my problem, and that this belongs to the Lord.   Then and there only do I stop and pray or give up out of pure exhaustion.    Am I angry and upset about the lies that someone is telling about me at work to a manager of all people?  Yes, yes I am.  But getting angry and upset over something I know in my heart most likely isn't true isn't something I should be concentrating on all night long.  And I know, as surely as I am sitting here in this comfy chair and writing this out, that the Lord has me in the palm of His mighty hand and that every little whim of anger that I have will be dealt with by Him.  You see, nothing everything that touches my life goes through His hands first.  But not only that, He's the one person I have in my corner ALL THE TIME.     God will have his day.  And it might not be settled the evening, and it might not be taken care of by the end of this week. But it will be taken care of.   I should have no worries and no burdens.  And I think its when we do that Satan is having his field days with our minds.    I know every day when I wake up who the Mighty God is that I love with all my heart.  I might not be the best Christian around, and I might not be the biggest sinless person, but I try and I've been trying more lately.    This lesson this time around is not to be "involved" and not to be like they are, spreading gossip.  I really need to learn to shut my mouth and not say anything.   I didn't all day long yesterday, in fact.  It felt good not to be "one of them" for a day. To leave them guessing as to what is going on.   But in fact, I didn't feel spiritually well at all yesterday, and for today I desire something better.  So the advice today is.  If you have a problem go talk to a manager.  Because truth be told, I am no better than they are when things start going awry.
