Welcome to my Thursday..

Yep.. that's where I am at today..

No need to worry.. nothing too bad going on around here today. I just get frustrated at times. I don't understand why life has be so damn complex. Its actually not.. I think we are the ones who make things harder than what they should be.

My issues are nothing compared to the 12 people who have lost their lives in the tornado's that hit yesterday and last night across the midwest. Those families are dealing with losses that I can't imagine. Here I am thinking about dropping all the tv channels, Internet, and cell phones, but those poor people have lost it all and many of them are standing strong on the news right now saying they will go on.. they will be ok.. and that they are grateful for still being here. That sure makes me think about my life. Who could imagine having to go through what they are going through today. My heart goes out to them.

Yes.. I have been considering turning everything off.. kicking everyone out.. and getting back to basics with Scott. Last night from the time he came in to the time he went to bed.. he was on his phone playing a game. I hate that. I felt no connection to him while he was just vegged out. We barely spoke because he was too busy with that damn game to do anything else. I seriously was going to get up..call and turn off the tv, Internet and smart phones.. and see how we do then with communication. But after talking to him about it.. he doesn't want me to do that.. Guess not! I am sure when the little kids get here this summer, I will be dealing with the same thing. I remember at dinner Brittany was texting one time and I just wanted to toss that phone out the door. I do love technology but I don't like it more than spending time with my family.. There are some lessons to be learned from this.

ITS NOT ABOUT THE STUFF WE HAVE, ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WE HAVE.

I am sure we are not the only family dealing with this kind of issue. Take note when your family is in the house tonight.. are they engaging in conversation with you?? Are they just laid up on the couch watching tv?? Are they playing non stop on their phones?? Again.. maybe its time for you to change some of that behavior in your family too. I love blogging.. I love the Internet.. but I love warm blooded bodies better.

Another thing I hate is when someone tells me one thing and does another. Yep.. that really ticks me off. I don't like decisions on my behalf being made for me. Scott does a really good job of just assuming he knows what I want. To be very blunt he sucks at it. I was suppose to take him to the Dr today.. as planned from many weeks ago.. but he decided that he would get another person to give him a ride. # 1.. not that I think anything will happen.. but it would be nice to be there if something does go wrong. # 2 I get very little time with him, so even a few minutes in a waiting room is like golden time for us.. and # 3.. I don't like him assuming that I don't want to take him. I don't know when he got to be a mind reader but currently he sucks at it.

So does it sound like I am frustrated today??

Our big kids were suppose to be in tonight but they got the dates messed up and won't be in till tomorrow night.. which is nice because it gives me a little extra time to prepare for them.

Well, its suppose to be 77 here today.. so in just a few minutes I am going to fix myself some breakfast and enjoy it outside at my new patio table.

Besides that its a late night for the guys so I will have a lot of time on my hands. Not sure what the day holds but I am hoping for some excitement. I think its about time I start meeting other people in our area. Husby made the comment that I don't get out of the house much anymore.. and I agree.. its time to get out and start enjoying myself. So maybe going to take the dog to the park today. I also want to head to the local college to check on some classes I want to take, however I am not sure if that is on today's list or not.

Hope your day is starting off better than mine has.

Be back later!
