I am sitting here tired. I should be in bed, but don't feel like wasting my alone time sleeping. Although when my son wakes up in the middle of the night for a feeding I will definately regret staying up late. However, I have a lot on my mind right now, so I am unable to wind down enough to fall asleep. Tonight I went to church. I love going to church and need to start making this a priority. I feel refreshed and focused again. I also, feel the need to pray more. Pray for others who really are struggling right now. To start I know my grandmother and mother both need encouragement and two of my friends are going through a rough breakup. Anyhow, church was so good. The worship music was good as always. The bible passages read & studied were encouraging. They really did encourage me to pray for those who are struggling right now and who could use the encouragement. So this is my prayer for my family and friends. I pray the Lord will comfort them, that they may feel the presence of the Lord, that this may comfort them and encourage them in their struggles.

I am not sure if I am the only one this happens to, but another friend is moving away. It seems as soon as I meet someone new and fun to hang out with, they move. There are a lot of people who move to Arizona every year, great weather year round, major sports teams, good job market especially considering our current economy. But for some reason my friends always move away. Why is this? They never seem to like it enough to stay. My family is here, so it would take a lot for me to move away. I find it very important to be close to my family and would miss them dearly if we moved. Although I must admit that I do see the draw in moving and trying out different places to live. I will just have to travel more when our little ones get a little bigger and we are able to get out a little more. Anyhow, I am bummed. Just when I meet someone I can hang with, they are leaving.

I know that most people enjoy their weekends. It seems everyone does something and hangs out with the husband. And I don't want to sound completely negative, but that isn't the case for me, atleast not lately. Lately, my weekends have been more work than relaxation. And when I say work, I am not accomplishing anything with my weekends. On Monday I was still working on my laundry, my floors still need to be mopped. Instead of accomplishing anything, I feel resentment towards my husband for actually relaxing on the couch during the weekend while I wish I could relax or get something done. Right now, getting anything accomplished per say is impossible. I am at home with two kids who require all of my time and energy and everything else has been pushed aside. The good news is my husband has "called in the calvary" today. My mother in law will be here Saturday night and is staying for 10 days to help me and hang out with the kids. I won't know what to do with myself. To have a free hand is going to mean so much to me. Thank you God for these small things that will save my sanity. Thank you for a husband who seems to know when it is time to make things right, whether that means making me laugh so I can't stay mad at him, calling in a maid service or calling his mom for help.

I am blogging, not twittering

I often tell my daughter, she is a silly goose, when she does something unexplainable to an adult or retarded, or something that I do not approve of. I am not quite sure why I decided this was the appropriate way for me to respond, but it is what I have stuck with. So here I am, having just started reading blogs and deciding this is more of my style than twittering. Anyhoo, since I am not sure why I am writing I have decided to name my blog, Silly Goose.
