Another day!!!
Well what an interesting day i have had.It started with my bathroom sink leaking everywhere leaving a huge mess.It is still leaking thank goodness I knew how to turn the water off.Now i wait patiently for it to be fixed.Then it started snowing again now normally i don't worry about the snow but working in thornhill gives me new worry.Then i got to go to work for 8 hours and thus keeping me awake into the early morning hours which is nothing new.Wish i could figure out this insomnia sleep would be nice eventually.Jord and i have another week till Bill gets home so we are decorating our tree on wednesday night and the house.I can't wait as it will be soo much fun.Wishin you all a great day. Blessings

Never Judge a Book By It's Cover!!!
As time goes by and with each passing day it truly amazes me how quickly everyone forgets this.Hmm what makes me write about this is no matter what we do in life we are all judged each and every day by each and every person we meet.Our actions also give more room for people to judge.But with this judgement can come rudeness,short tempers and hurt.The one area i notice that we are judged the most upon is out jobs.Our very lively hood.Just becasue someone stays at home with their baby,chooses to go back to work after after children,or just in a job to finish school.This brings me to something that i have experienced time and time again.I was shopping the other evening and yes it was Walmart.There were only two cashiers on and it wasn't really busy, so one cashier was on a break and all i heard was complaining.First of all you look bad complaining,drawing negative attention unless of course that is what you want.Second don't just leave your buggy there for a worked to put away,don't you think they have enough to do.Third don't you think the cashier feels bad enough about the long lineups and proably has had it listening to you and every one else complain.Have you even thought about the person behind the till just trying to do their job and what kind of day they might be having? Of course not.Do you ever think of the day they might be having.Of course not.How do you know if they have a baby or sick children or if they just lost someone .Well i can answer that for you don't and you proably don't care.Now don't get me wrong a lot of you do care. We all know that nowadays we live in a society that judges and jobs have become thankless.Just once don't you think it would be nice to recipicate,"How are you today". Blessings

Talk about Crazy weather!!!!!
I went to work today and it was raining,then wham it started to snow for almost 4 hours.It was so awesome and beautiful,wishing i had brought my camera.However being at work I couldn't.It is so funny to me how people are so grumpy about the snow.Do people forget that we live in Terrace,Northern B.C. and it is Nov 21st.I just love the snow so much in fact that by the time i got home the snow turned to rain making it impossible to make snow angels.So now i leave you with a couple of my favorite scriptures. So hope you enjoy and if you have snow please make a snowangel for me.
Philippians 2:14-16
I will do all things without complaining or arguing,so that I may become blameless and pure,a child of God witout fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,among whom I shine as a light in the world, holding fast the Word of Life.
1 Corinthians 16: 14
I want everything I do to be done in love.
Blessings.

What a Week!!!
It has been another busy funfilled week even though at times tiring.I must say that i was very disappointed when it snowed and didn't stay.I so want to make snow angels.So i say bring on the snow!!!Not sure why i love snow so much!I am sure it has something to do with living most of my life on Vancouver Island.Boy oh boy do i miss home.Although I know that home is where the heart is.But what if just what if your heart won't let you let go?Does it mean that just this once your heart knows what is best for you?Or is your heart playing tricks on you?Confusing your memories of the home you left behind? Making you feel homesick?
So on to my week of fun!!
I just started a new job that i really am enjoying,working 8 hours a day then being a mom and everything else that goes with it.As well as finishing up my degree can make for a long day.Jordan and I are adjusting to just the two of us being home now.I didn't think my house could ever be this quite.It definatly has been very hard in fact I don't want to ever get used to it.I miss samm so much even though i know she wasn't going to be living at home her whole life.I just hoped she would have stayed a little longer.FOR YOU SAMM

A post of !!!!!!
The last few weeks have been tiring,sressful,complicated and confusing but fun!!!I have felt a change coming on for so long it is hard to explain.I am feeling driven from within and above.Perhaps just perhaps my prayers are being answered.I feel that by withdrawing from everything and unfortunatly everyone is what i needed to gain perspective.Gone are the days where i am trying to be someone im not.It was so easy to lose myself but even harder to find myself again.I can really relate to this song.

Good Morning!!!!
Wow it has been since June since I posted anything.
So here is a quick update as you all know Samm has graduated from school.I am so proud of her as she recieved 2 scholarships.She has moved to Prince George to start the next chapter of her life.In Sept she will be going back to school to work towards becoming a detal hygienist.For those who know how talented she is with her artwork for now it will be a hobby.Since she has moved out and on I am left with did I teach you everything you need to know.Then i remember yes i did as she is kind,caring,loving and not afraid to be who she is and stand up for her beliefs.Then i have other times where i am sad as she isn't home.The other day I was watching Americas next top model which we watch together and all i could think of was what part would we laugh at together,then when i laughed i knew.
As for my other bestfriend Jordan. He is now in grade 9.Yes i know grade9.Jordan is having a hrad time adjusting to having noone to argue with over what to watch on tv,or whos trun is it to do the dishes.Jordan is struggling day to day with his dyslexia but in spite of it all he wants to be a vet.Lately he can be found playing on the computer,or with his wii.He is slowly coming out of his shell,which is great to see.He recently lost one of his turtles.Summer was a blast as this was his first summer home with us.Wow oh wow can he play tennis.
For my soulmate Bill he is hardly home as he is working soo much,which is good becasue come April he will be heading up his own kitchen and camp.He is so thankful for the opportunity but at the same time he is nervous.Bill has his good an bad days with his ankel and when he is home life is complete.
With me I am back in school working towards becoming a medical office assistant one more year and i am done.Recently when i was working i had a gas spill and followed safety procedures to a t.Then i had a off duty cop come in wanting to get gas,well i couldn't and wouldn't turn on the pumps.He got very angry as i wouldn''t let his wife start the car oh did i mention he ran over the cones and on top of the spill.yeah.So he told me i couldn't hold her there and he would charge me with unlawful confinement i said go ahead,He then told me he was a cop i then asked him what is your point? Well he left the next day he talked to my boss and i was told to apologize.I tols him i wouldn't as i wasn't in the wrong.I was then told to take a few days to think about it.Well i did and i now don't have a job.Now i know fogiveness is different than apologizing for something you feel you didn't do anything wrong.I am trying to teach my children to stand up for what they believe is right,but i am worried that they may think standing up for themselves is not the right thing to so afterall i lost my job.
We have had the opportunity to go home and visit my mom,brother and dad.Which was a blast.
