Blessings on Wednesday

Quick Blessings and a little complaining...

1. Thank you God for Wednesdays, it's peaceful no kids running a muck, therefore I can work!!
2. I am sooo blessed to have an ex husband that works with me on the things that my girls need, how blessed I am to know that I can share our kids and not think of only myself.
3. Thank you for back to school! It's time, structure is very important.
4. Swim Team for Audrey she loves it and is getting better with every stroke!
5. Thank you for 3 rowdy dogs, that are in my life for the long haul... How sad to know that so many people get pets and then dispose of them so quickly....
6. Most of all I am so blessed to have my husband, to laugh and love someone so completely without the feeling of being obligated to be with that person, is the most awesome feeling in the world... Of course noones perfect and we have our tifts.. but when you have 5 blended kids with very different sets of rules from other influences.. what can one expect.. bliss???? yep

Now complaints.. yes sounds funny to have been thankful about things to turn around and complain about other things, but hey we are human...
How is it that someone thinks the grass is greener and when the weeds start popping up, they turn their own self pity whinney BS on others? Seriously? Grow up if you would have laid a great foundation the weeds would not have knocked through right?
I am so happy in my life that seeing others miserable when they brought it on themselves, doesn't make me happy but I sure do not have pity on them, Figure out what you need and go for it. Stop bogging down my good times.
Have you ever seen Freddie Krueger? I saw a pic of him the other day... I mean I don't think his name is Freddie Krueger but this guy MIGHT just be his brother.. (random I know.. but please..)

My Saturday at the Lake

I was hoping for a GREAT day on the lake, really I was, but that was ruined quickly within 5 minutes of launching our boat, we have a tube it's tied to the boat, but when you are in the no wake zone, you need to keep it close to the boat, so I am holding the tubes rope, when I turn around to move something and all of a sudden I hear a shreik I look up and see my 12 year screaming with the rope in her hand, the tube quickly leaving the boat and her hand a bloody mess, she has 3rd degree rope burn on one of her hands, it's horrible, sad, gross, and I feel terrible, we ended up in the Urgent Care Clinic yesterday to have it packed and wrapped, she has school finals tomorrow, and no use of her writing hand.... We do have a Dr note, so maybe someone can help her write her answers down but it will take time to heal... Now those blessings:

1. Thank you God, it could have been worse, she is so sweet she was trying to help me out, when she ended up on the losing end, but THANK YOU GOD.
2. For guilt filled trips to Starbucks to try and make the pain go away.
3. For the 6 other kids that were on the boat with us, for still in spite of the "accident" enjoying their day, this is the last weekend we have all the kids together for a month.
4. For Sundays that will be awesome even if we have a one handed jack to help feed and bathe and dress!

Have an awesome day enjoy the ups! Handle the downs!

I am starting anew, I had another one on here somewhere, but this is a fresh start so here we go, in light of my dear friend moving on to bigger things, I followed, I will blog as I can as I do have a pretty busy life outside of the WWW!!!

Blessings you say?

1. Blessed to have such a great family, they are healthy and most times pretty darn funny! Thank you God for them, without them, I wouldn't be me.
2. I thank you for the flowers, I see them when I look out my bedroom window in the mornings, I see the birds eating from the feeder and I know this is your hand in it all.
3. Weekends at the lake! Is this a blessing you ask? Well to my husband it is, but to me??? hmmm I will let you know.
4. Swimming lessons, my youngest Audrey started on her swimming team yesterday, she is good, she loves to be in the water, blessed to be able to provide her with that!
5. My dogs I love my two dogs, they give me love no matter what, in the form of kisses on the lips or a ball dropped in my lap, the love the whole famly even when we tell them to go lay down.

That's all I got for now, have a fabulous weekend.
