30 Days of Truth... Rosie's Challenge - I decided to take up a 30 Day Challenge about myself. It will probably take more than 30 days to complete but I am willing to make the effort to get it done. Click here to get the list if you are interested in joining in... peace out yo!
Day 8: Someone who made your life hell, or treated you badly.
Yeah... I know, I'm probably not going to do this one. I put it up and thought about it all day. This is a subject that I really don't want to get into on so many levels. I have a list of people that have have disappointed me since High School. I'm at a point in my life where I have decided to not let stuff bother me.
A couple of weeks ago I said my peace about something that had been bothering me for some time. After that... I made a commitment to myself and to everyone else to just not worry about it anymore. I'm not going to let it eat at me. I doesn't change the fact that I still think there are some people out there that do things for no reason to hurt others, or hurt themselves emotionally, an I am concerned as to why, I'd like to help them. However... I am not going to let it bother me like I did.
If you want to treat me badly or try to make my life hell... you should sell it somewhere else. I'm all stocked up and I don't have room for it in my life. I'm happy and there is nothing anyone can do to change it.

Rosie's Challenge - Day 7

Day 7: Someone who has made your life worth living for
It is safe to say I have more than one person that has made my life worth living for… I have 3. Buck, #1, and #2. Yep, still not revealing the names of the fam, but if you are a reader, you know who they are. If not… Buck is my husband, #1 is my 5 year old daughter, and #2 is my 2 year old daughter. These three are my world.
A year ago I almost lost everything and nearly destroyed my family for my own selfish reasons. I look at other couples and families that have dealt with the same issues and I find myself completely blessed that my sweet husband loved me so much that he felt like our family, our relationship was worth fighting for. We are stronger now than we have ever been.
My children are my saving grace, both precious little girls with bouncing blonde curls. They both remind me every day to not sweat the small stuff. It’s way more fun to watch Disney movies and eat popcorn than anything else in the world. They love me unconditionally, no matter what mistakes I have made in my life… they still love me for me.

Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do.
There are a lot of thing I hope I never have to do…pay taxes, get a root canal, carve out an ingrown toenail to name a few.
There are a few things that I really honestly don’t want to deal with. I hope I never have to deal with them, ever. I don’t want to deal with the passing of my parents. I know that I will have to eventually, but I don’t want to.
I am extremely close to my folks. I’m sure it is because I didn’t leave the nest when I was supposed to, but none the less, they have become more than my rock… they are my foundation. And when I say close... I moved across state lines after 9 months because I missed them so badly.
May parents have been there for every major event in my life. They are still married… believe it or not. They have been my support for everything. Teaching me every day that life it tough, learn to deal with it. Bailing out and giving up is not an option. Always fight for what you believe in. Because of that… I am who I am today. Not who I could have turned out to be a year ago.

WWTK - Wednesday
We Want To Know.... Q & A brought to you by:
This is hosted by these four cuties: Janette, Seriously Shawn, Impulsive Addict and Mamarazzi. It's a super fun meme that you can join along and we can get to know you too.
1.} What must you do before you go to bed at night? This is going to sound crazy, but I must make the bed and make sure the sheets are tucked in at the foot just right. Then I have to make sure my quilt that I have slept with for the last 15 years is perfectly straight on the bed. Once I get in the bed I get situated and then I wiggle 3 or 4 times just to get nice and snug. Buck laughs because if anything gets messed up I have to start all over again.
2.} What is one thing you must snack on at the theater? Snow Caps. Yep… the little chocolate chips with the little white dots on top (I forgot what they are called). It is an obsession.
3.} Before going on vacation what must you do? Before we go anywhere for the night or for the week, I have to clean house and make sure all the laundry is washed. It’s nice to come home to a clean house after you have been on vacation and you don’t have to do anything but unpack.
4.} What is one thing you must do every day? I don’t think there is one particular thing I have to do every day besides the normal stuff. Like I must brush my teeth, I must feed the kids, I must take a bath… etc.
5.} Is there something you do that must be done in a particular order? Did you read the bed thing in question 1? I’m just a little OCD about things, like my makeup, cleaning the house, buying groceries… Yeah... that is the worst! I’ve got to go in a particular order or I will end up forgetting half the stuff I need. I’ve got to take my medicine in the same order, when I take a shower… I do everything in order… every time. I’ve got to have list or I don’t know what I’m doing most the time.

Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.
One thing I sincerely hope to do in life… be a foreign missionary. There isn't much else that can be said about it. I want to go help build a church somewhere, and one day... I will do it.

The Wednesday Funnies
A Medical Problem
An old woman came into her doctor's office and confessed to an embarrassing problem. "I do that all the time, Dr. Johnson, but they are soundless and have no odor. In face, since I've been here, I did it no less than twenty times. What can I do?"
"Here's a prescription, Mrs. Harris. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week."
Next week an upset Mrs. Harris marched into Dr. Johnson's office. "Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I'm doing it just as much, but now it smells terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Calm down, Mrs. Harris," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your sinuses, we'll work on your hearing!!!"

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.
Ha… I need to forgive someone. I have tried to forgive everyone in the last year that has made me mad, hurt my feelings etc. But there is one person, that I have never said “I forgive you for hurting me” to. My Mom’s brother… a.k.a. my Uncle. I don’t want to forgive him, but I will. God tells us that we should forgive other just as he has forgiven us.
My Grandma passed away 12 years ago the day before Christmas Eve. She had been diagnosed with Liver and Pancreatic cancer three months prior and was given three months to live. Liver and Pancreatic cancer is a horrible disease, most people do not survive. Some of the worst parts of the disease is the horrible pain that they are in and the fact that they literally go “crazy”. When the cancer begins to break down the liver, the enzymes go to the brain and they become a completely different person. Cancer is an ugly disease to begin with, but this one is the ugliest of all.
In the three months that she lived with her cancer she was either in a nursing home, the hospital, or in the house with my parents and I. I had recently moved home and tried to be as big of a help to my parents as possible while they took care of her. She was an incredibly strong woman full of life. She never met a stranger, even when she was sick. She made her mark on each person she met and touched everyone’s lives.
During that time, not once… not once… did my Uncle step up to the plate to help my Mother. I can remember days he would call to tell her… “I will stay with Momma while you get out of the house”, but an hour before he was supposed to be there he would call, something had come up. I only remember him being at the hospital a hand full of times. He didn’t even take the time to help my Mom with funeral arrangements.
When she passed, he showed his true colors then. He wanted everything she had, and just to end an argument… to stop the fight and the threats… Mom conceded and gave it all over, all that was left. And of course he still wasn’t satisfied. This went on for years, he just knew my mom was “secretly” withholding money and jewelry from him, but she wasn’t. It’s always been that way though. He was the baby, everything was given to him, She always took care of him… my mother and my grandmother. But when my Grandma was gone, my mother said enough is enough. He took everything, including her hand-made quilts. We were left with a few pictures, some jewelry, etc.
So here it is folks:
To my Uncle… I forgive you for not being there for my Mother, my Grandmother and my family when we needed it the most. I have started to learn the selfish nature of people. I know that you didn’t know any better. You always expected your sister to pick up the pieces and handle everything.

Rosie's Challenge - Day 3
30 Days of Truth... Rosie's Challenge - I decided to take up a 30 Day Challenge about myself. It will probably take more than 30 days to complete but I am willing to make the effort to get it done. Click here to get the list if you are interested in joining in... peace out yo!
Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.
That subject is too deep. I am really hard on myself. I need to learn how to forgive myself. The husband and I get into a fight... I beat myself up over it. He thinks that I just turn into super bitch but it really is more that I'm mad at myself and I don't know any other way to express it. I will beat myself up over it for days when we have a major fight. He doesn't really know that I am so disgusted with myself that it wears me out. I guess he will now.
Yes, I'm mean. Really mean... and I don't like it.So I have another appointment with my Doctor next month to find out the root of my anger and why I am so defensive.
My major problem is that... I never really let it go. I never forgive myself for being mean to him and lashing out. I've gotten better, but when it happens I will be in a horrible mood for the rest of the day and for a couple of days after that. I tell him it's his fault but it's really mine. I withdraw because I am ashamed. I don't feel like being romantic or anything. I just want to be left alone and he does not understand it. And I'm serious when I say it wears me out. I am physically and mentally exhausted. Couple that with two small kids, the fact that my house stays a wreck, and the senseless amount of stress I have to deal with from work... no wonder I am cranky.
So I just need to be able to forgive myself and say it's ok to be cranky now and then... and Buck (the Hubby) is there to help me, uplift me, and make me feel special and loved. I need to forgive myself and quit beating myself up over not being perfect.

Day 2: Something you love about yourself.
Something I LOVE about myself? I love a lot of things about myself. I love that I don't go with the norm on fashion trends... if I think it looks good, I wear it. I don't really care if it's not in style or if I'm stepping outside the box for most people. I don't think that I have that great of a fashion sense but seriously... you know when something looks good or if you just look stupid.
I also love my eyes. I'm not trying to be conceited or anything, but God played a mean trick on me with giving my the swamp foot so, to keep it even, he blessed me with some pretty incredible peepers. I have green eyes... not hazel. That matched with my dark hair is a pretty rockin' combo.
These are two things that I love. There are plenty of things that I don't like, but I'm at a rocky period in my life right now. I am learning to love myself and be secure in the person I am again. Last year my self esteem level got at an all time low, and I am in the process of building myself back up. It takes time. One step at a time. I don't look in the mirror and get disgusted anymore... now I can look and smile and begin to be happy with who I am, and who I am becoming.
Proverbs 31:30 ~ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.
Wow... started off with a good one. Something I hate about myself.... Well if I went with physical traits I would definitely say that I hate my feet.
Yep... my feet. Ladies and Gentlemen, I wear a size 9 1/2 wide. I am completely flat footed, I have no arches when I stand bare foot. It is almost sick when you look at my feet. I try to draw attention away from my feet when I buy shoes. What really makes me mad is that I can't wear just any shoe. Nope.. I have to be very careful in the style shoes I wear. One reason I wear flip flops or sandals most of the time. As far as dress shoes... the higher the heel the better. My favorite pair of shoes right now... and have been for a while are a 4 inch Jessica Simpson black patent leather peep toe... these shoes are HOT, and I need a pair in every color. I have some shoes I wear that I will only wear if I have pants one. Simply for the fact that my fat foot spills out over the side of the shoes and I look like I have serious problems.
One good thing... I can pick up a tennis ball with my toes, among other things. Bet you skinny ass high arched folks can't do that... haha! It came in real handy when I was pregnant with both kids. I could pick up things off the floor without ever having to bend over. WINNING!

I would like to thank my Pop for this curse that he has bestowed on my sister and I. Her problem is not near as bad as mine. I'm not kidding when I say I have no arches. I leave a very silly looking wet foot print and my wet bare feet on concrete sounds like someone clapping their hands.
30 Days of Truth... Rosie's Challenge
I just went over to My Cajun Life and checked out her blog and I found a 30 Day Challenge that I just had to do... I have seen people do the 30 Day Facebook Photo Challenge and I just didn't want to do that. I don't feel like I want that much personal information (photos) out on my facebook or my blog. I was looking for something, a project and I think this right up my alley.
Anyone else that wants to join in, feel free to jump on board.

I'm just sayin'...
Recently I put out a request to my fellow blogger's for a guest post. I thought that this might be a good idea to add a little versatility to my blog and to show off some of my other well respected bloggers.
This week I have the pleasure of showing off my friend Shan from I'm Just Sayin'.... What can I tell you about her? There is so much. She has been such an inspiration in my life. She truly is a Godly friend. Shan is a woman of God, an incredible mother, and a loving wife to her amazing husband. I am blessed to have her in my life, she makes me want to be a better person. I left the subject matter completely up to the guest bloggers so I was completely taken off guard when I read what Shan had for me to post.
I am so happy that I get to showcase her on my blog as my first guest post and I hope that you will take the time to read her blog and follow the amazing stories that she has to share about her faith and her family. Now... go follow her blog.
Shan, thank you for your post... it brought tears to my eyes. You are so special to me and thank you for being my friend. Love you my frand ;)
We met through our children. They attend the same daycare center. Our girls were instant friends. They truly love each other. This does not go without saying that sometimes they fight like sisters! Her oldest is the sweetest thing. She always has a hug waiting on me when I pick Kate up in the afternoons. Her youngest, is just about the cutest little thing you can imagine. She is beginning to talk really good, and now when I arrive in the evenings, she is running up to me calling my name. It's safe to say, I've fallen in love with those sweet girls.

I'm fairly new at blogging, so I jumped at the chance to do a guest blog for one of my FAVORITE BLOGGERS. Not only is she my favorite blogger, she's a great friend!

Rosie has really captured my heart this year. She is a strong woman, who has weaknesses just like we all do. It is amazing to me that she has faced so much opposition, and in this she has turned to God. Most would've thrown up their hands and joined the crowd. But not my girl, Rosie. She is unlike the crowd. She keeps me accountable. I chuckle to myself when she says that it is me who keeps her accountable. ME, really? I love watching her grow as a Christian mother, and I'm very fortunate that I am able to give her courage and strength when she needs it the most.
I have experienced one sided friendships all of my life. This is one friendship that is truly give and take. I am truly blessed to know her, and I look forward to our growing friendship. Sorry Rosie, this blog just had to be about you!! After all, it is you who inspired me to blog!! Love ya girl! Love ya more than you know!

Chivalry is not dead, just in a coma
I love to be treated like a lady. What woman doesn't? I wouldn't say that I prefer to be treated as the weaker sex but I have no desire to be compared to a man... in any way. I drive a 4X4 F150 because not only do I like the room, I like to be seen on the interstate and the highway by other trucks... meaning the BIG ones. I used to drive a car and had way too many close calls when I was driving. I wear jeans and cowboy boots, but I love to wear dresses. I've been known to put on a pair of Roebuck overalls and work out in the yard, but I prefer to wear gloves... cute pink ones. I also like to hunt, I am a great shot... but I want to look "cute" in my camo and the husband says it's not meant to be cute. I like to be girlie! However... I do not, nor have I ever wanted to be treated equal to a man. Yep... I said it. If the husband and I go out to dinner, I want him to sign for the check... even though we have a joint bank account. I want the door opened for me. I prefer him to drive when we go somewhere regardless if he makes me carsick or not (which he does... sorry Babe). I like for things to be taken care of for me. I want to be spoiled! Is it too much to ask for? Some days I really think it is, but I like a true "Southern Gentleman".
So today... while visiting a friend in the hospital I was completely shocked by one young man. He was waiting at the elevator like anyone else would, but when the door opened and the bell dinged that it was time for us board for our destination... the young man, about the age of 15, graciously extended his hand, gestured towards the open doors and said ..... "after you ma'am".
really???
We boarded the elevator and still shocked and slightly lightheaded after what had just happened, I looked at the young man and said "your kindness and respect will take you a long way in life, tell your Momma thank you" and at that point the young man smiled at me and said "thank you ma'am, I will".
I was in complete amazement. At first glance I judged this young man by the way he was dressed... that he would be more interested in texting on his phone or completely ignore that there was another person there when in fact he shocked me with manners. Manners... something a lot of youth these days don't have.
I appreciate the fact that the young man said ma'am, that he gestured for me to go first... I appreciate it that his parents took the time to teach him to open the door for other people. We are known for our sweet tea, southern drawl, and our overbearing charm but it just doesn't happen in the south as much as it should anymore. People get in such a hurry these days that they forget there are others around them. I worked in the public school system for a number of years and have seen so many children that were disrespectful to adults... it broke my heart. The young man I had the encounter with today warmed my heart to know that there is still hope for chivalry in the south.
Ok fellas... so here are some tips for you taken from http://www.manofthehouse.com/ that might help you win some "Brownie Points" next time you want to impress your gal.
Opening the door. Now I know you probably open the door for her already. But what about the car door? When was the last time you got to your destination with her, got out, walked around the car and opened the door for her?
Pull the chair out for her. When you take her out to dinner, pull out her chair, let her step up to the table and gently push the chair in so that she can sit down. If you want to bump it up a bit, do this on a regular basis at home when you eat together.
Help her on and off with her coat. When you're leaving with her to go out to dinner, help her on with her coat, and help her off with it again when you reach your destination.
Stand up when she does. If your wife needs to use the restroom during dinner, when she stands up, stop eating and stand up yourself. While she's gone, you can sit back down. When you see her coming back, stand up, walk around the table and pull the chair out for her to sit down
Now if you're generally never this attentive to her, she's going to think something's up. She will likely think that you're trying to get lucky or that you're buttering her up for some reason. When she asks you (and she will) what is up with you, just tell her "This is my way of showing you how special you are to me." I know that sounds corny but something like that will melt her heart, especially if it comes from you.
Imagine this if you will. It's Saturday night, you get a sitter for the kids and tell your wife that you have dinner reservations at a nice restaurant downtown. You help her on with her coat and hold the house door and the car door open for her.
Once at the restaurant, you help her off with her coat and help her get seated at the table. When she leaves to visit the restroom, you stand up until she leaves. When you see her returning, again you stand up and help her get seated.
After dinner, you help her on with her coat, out of the restaurant and into your car. When you arrive back home, you park and help her out of the car. You just earned a major number of points with your wife and it was all pretty simple. If you do this on a regular basis, your wife will surely match you kindness for kindness.

WWTK Wednesday!
Welcome to yet another week of "We want to know... Q & A"
{1} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be?
{2} What would be your first frivolous purchase if you were awarded a million dollars tomorrow? (and don't say "that's not a lot of money", it sounds pretentious)
{3} What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up?
{4} If you were given a choice between being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose?
{5} I you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days what 5 THINGS would you pack?
1. My super power? I'm a mom... I was granted super powers when my kids were born. I have eyes in the back of my head, I can clean my house in a single bound, I can hear a pin drop 100 feet away, and I have super strength... enough to tote 2 kids through Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon WHILE pushing a buggy.
2. Seriously... I would buy everyone in the family a new car... NEW.. not something that someone else has driven to get the first 15,000 miles in... brand new. I would buy my Pop, myself, and my sister brand new White Corvettes with Red leather interior. His tag would say "Pop", mine "Rosie" and hers "Jo Jo"... as far as Mom, mom in law, father in law and the hubby... they can get what they want. I have a feeling the Hubby would probably want a F350 4X4 King Ranch... I have no problem with that either.
3. A current luxury? My txt messaging. yep... I don't really call anyone to just talk unless I'm driving home from work and I usually talk to my parents or my hubby. I txt my friends... I think I would go insane if I had to stop txting because sometimes I have just one thing to say... and don't want to have a long drawn out conversation.
4. I'd like to have great wisdom over great wealth any day... very simple
5. 5 things for 100 days... if I didn't need food or shelter I would need... sunscreen, a bikini, sunglasses, a kindle, and maybe a BOAT???
The Wednesday Funnies
Happy "Hump" day to you all. Hope you are having a wonderful day... and if not, maybe this will help you to smile a little.
I love animals... more than that I love "talking" animals! Hope you enjoy the youtube video's I've posted.

May 21, 2011...
I'm curious as to what everyone thinks about what Harold Camping and the prediction he has made for May 21, 2011. I have added a passage from the Bible that you may find interesting as well as a post from Real Truth that gives a little insight about what he has to say as well as his prediction that is posted at Family Radio.
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
Matthew 24
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times
1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth

The Do-Over...
I stopped in over at S30P to see what the writing prompt was for the week... The Do-Over. I had a few things that I wanted to say on the subject. I hope you enjoy...
I wish I could. I wish I could go back to June 2010 and have a “do over”.
What would I change?
I would change that phone conversation between her and I where we both admitted to each other the deepest darkest secret that any woman could admit to their friend. I would have said, no… we can’t go there. I would have never let our friendship take that turn instead I would have kept us on the right path. If we would have never had that conversation... if we would have never turned left… we might still be friends today.
I regret losing that friendship the way I did. My anger and hate towards her has consumed me over the last year. I will admit, I’ve wanted to hurt her feelings as much as she has hurt mine, and she will never realize exactly how much she hurt me. To say the things she has said about me and my family and then in the same breath tell someone that she misses me or “the person I used to be”. I had four years of my life invested with this person… four years, she knew me, I didn’t change… I just out grew the life she wanted me to live, which was hers. Our relationship took a wrong turn and then it spiraled down-hill and completely out of control.
I wonder sometimes if that phone conversation had gone differently what place we would be at today. Where would our lives be? No one knows. Maybe we would still talk, maybe not.
I know that I would love to have a “do-over” regarding the end of our friendship.
I should have never let the rumors and name calling get to me. I’m a better person than that. After countless times of being called names and my husband’s name being run through the mud, I should have been the bigger person and let it go. I didn’t. I lost all amount of trust in anyone that was close friends with her, but with good reason I later found out. Oh and now… now… now it has just gotten stupid. I assume it is all ended now… but I doubt it. I’m still hearing that my name is being thrown around. But I didn’t expect any less…
My “do over”… I would have never said anything, I would have been the bigger person and not let it get to me. I would have been the stronger person and not let my heart get broken by one of the only friends that I had completely trusted. I put my life in her hands and look where it got me.
I’m going to say this one time… I hope that now it is over… now everyone can move on. I sincerely hope that I don’t hear anyone else tell me that you have talked about what a horrible person I am, it hurts to hear that. Yes, it makes me want to hurt your feelings… it’s all very “5th grade” behavior on both parts. I’m tired of all the pointless useless drama. So please… before you start to point out all my flaws and my faults, take a good long look in the mirror at yourself. Look at the things you have done in your life. Things you have done prior to our friendship, during our friendship, and even after we stopped speaking… and at that point when you look at yourself and the person you have become and you find that you have no flaws and faults… then and only then will you have earned the right to badmouth me or anyone else for that matter. From here on out I will never mention your name, our friendship, or your faults. In return, I ask one thing… you do the same. But if you have anything else bad to say about me… make sure you follow up with something about yourself.
So to you... I hope that you forgive me for everything. I give my sincere apology for the war that has played out in both of our lives over the last year. You hurt me, I hurt you. It has gone too far. I never thought that it would come to this or maybe I did... we know too much about each other and we are completely alike. Our vengeful nature to be on top of the game, to have the last word, has lead to a horrible and disastrous argument between the both of us. I step down and say... you win. I love you and I miss you. I wish you the best. You are a truely amazing person and I'm glad that I had the chance to know you.
John 8:7 (NIV) When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Happy Friday the 13th
I saw this on yahoo.com news this morning and decided to share:
13 Common (but silly) Superstitions:
We humans are a superstitious lot, believing that Friday the 13th is bad luck and finding a penny is good luck.
Many superstitions stem from the same human trait that causes us to believe in monsters and ghosts: When our brains can't explain something, we make stuff up. In fact, a study last year found that superstitions can sometimes work, because believing in something can improve performance on a task.
Here, then, are 13 of the most common superstitions.
13. Beginner's luck
Usually grumbled by an expert who just lost a game to a novice, "beginner's luck" is the idea that newbies are unusually likely to win when they try out a sport, game or activity for the first time.
Beginners might come out ahead in some cases because the novice is less stressed out about winning. Too much anxiety, after all, can hamper performance. Or it could just be a statistical fluke, especially in chance-based gambling games.
Or, like many superstitions, a belief in beginner's luck might arise because of confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is a psychological phenomenon in which people are more likely to remember events that fit their worldview. If you believe you're going to win because you're a beginner, you're more likely to remember all the times you were right — and forget the times you ended up in last place.
12. Find a penny, pick it up …
And all day long, you'll have good luck. This little ditty may arise because finding money is lucky in and of itself. But it might also be a spin-off of another old rhyme, "See a pin, pick it up/ and all day long you'll have good luck/ See a pin, let it lay/ and your luck will pass away."
11. Don't walk under that ladder!
Frankly, this superstition is pretty practical. Who wants to be responsible for stumbling and knocking a carpenter off his perch? But one theory holds that this superstition arises from a Christian belief in the Holy Trinity: Since a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle, "breaking" that triangle was blasphemous.
Then again, another popular theory is that a fear of walking under a ladder has to do with its resemblance to a medieval gallows. We're sticking with the safety-first explanation for this one.
10. Black cats crossing your path
As companion animals for humans for thousands of years, cats play all sorts of mythological roles. In ancient Egypt, cats were revered; today, Americans collectively keep more than 81 million cats as pets.
So why keep a black cat out of your path? Most likely, this superstition arises from old beliefs in witches and their animal familiars, which were often said to take the form of domestic animals like cats.
9. A rabbit's foot will bring you luck
Talismans and amulets are a time-honored way of fending off evil; consider the crosses and garlic that are supposed to keep vampires at bay. Rabbit feet as talismans may hark back to early Celtic tribes in Britain. They may also arise from hoodoo, a form of African-American folk magic and superstition that blends Native American, European and African tradition. [Rumor or Reality: The Creatures of Cryptozoology]
8. Bad luck comes in threes
Remember confirmation bias? The belief that bad luck comes in threes is a classic example. A couple things go wrong, and believers may start to look for the next bit of bad luck. A lost shoe might be forgotten one day, but seen as the third in a series of bad breaks the next.
7. Careful with that mirror
According to folklore, breaking a mirror is a surefire way to doom yourself to seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don't just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led people in the old days of the American South to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, lest their soul be trapped inside.
Like the number three, the number seven is often associated with luck. Seven years is a long time to be unlucky, which may be why people have come up with counter-measures to free themselves after breaking a mirror. These include touching a piece of the broken mirror to a tombstone or grinding the mirror shards into powder.
6. 66
Three sixes in a row give some people the chills. It's a superstition that harks back to the Bible. In the Book of Revelation, 666 is given as the number of the "beast," and is often interpreted as the mark of Satan and a sign of the end times.
According to State University of New York at Buffalo anthropologist Philips Stevens, the writer of Revelation was writing to persecuted Christians in code, so the numbers and names in the book are contemporary references. Three sixes in a row is probably the numeric equivalent of the Hebrew letters for the first-century Roman Emperor Nero.
5. Knock on wood
This phrase is almost like a verbal talisman, designed to ward off bad luck after tempting fate: "Breaking that mirror didn't bring me any trouble, knock on wood."
The fixation on wood may come from old myths about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross. Similar phrases abound in multiple languages, suggesting that the desire not to upset a spiteful universe is very common.
4. Make a wish on a wishbone
The tradition of turkey bone tug-of-war goes back a long way. Legend has it that first-century Romans used to fight over dried wishbones — which they believed were good luck — and would accidentally break them, ushering in the idea that whoever has the largest bit of bone gets their wish. Bird bones have also been used in divination throughout history, with a supposed soothsayer throwing the bones and reading their patterns to predict the future.
3. Cross your fingers
Those wishing for luck will often cross one finger over another, a gesture that's said to date back to early Christianity. The story goes that two people used to cross index fingers when making a wish, a symbol of support from a friend to the person making the wish. (Anything associated with the shape of the Christian cross was thought to be good luck.) The tradition gradually became something people could do on their own; these days, just saying "fingers crossed" is enough to get the message, well, across.
2. No umbrellas inside
… And not just because you'll poke someone's eye out. Opening an umbrella indoors is supposed to bring bad luck, though the origins of this belief are murky. Legends abound, from a story of an ancient Roman woman who happened to have opened her umbrella moments before her house collapsed, to the tale of a British prince who accepted two umbrellas from a visiting king and died within months. Like the "don't walk under a ladder" superstition, this seems to be a case of a myth arising to keep people from doing something that is slightly dangerous in the first place.
1. Friday the 13th
If you're not scared of Friday the 13th, you should be scared of the word used to describe those who are: friggatriskaidekaphobics. (An alternative, though just as tongue-twisty, word for the fear is "paraskevidekatriaphobia.")
For a superstition, the fear of Friday the 13th seems fairly new, dating back to the late 1800s. Friday has long been considered an unlucky day (according to Christian tradition, Jesus died on a Friday), and 13 has a long history as an unlucky number.
According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina, about 17 million people fear Friday the 13th. Many may fall prey to the human mind's desire to associate thoughts and symbols with events.
"If anything bad happens to you on Friday the 13th, the two will be forever associated in your mind," said Thomas Gilovich, a psychologist at Cornell University. "All those uneventful days in which the 13th fell on a Friday will be ignored."

The Wednesday Funnies.... on Friday?
Yep, I can't find my Wednesday Funnies post from this week so you get a whole new one today.
thanks to my friend Johnnie, who loves sending me funny emails, I have this one to share with you. I was going to save it till next week but I decided to was just too funny not to share.
(it showed back up... thank you Blogger for screwing with my head today... much love to ya, word... peace)

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat... As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane..
He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat ... As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his..
Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, "Business trip or pleasure?"
She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston "
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"
"Lecturer," she responded. "I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
"Really?" he said. "And what kind of myths are there?"
"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.
Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.
I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name.."
"Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba."..............................

Not your average girl...: the basement
Check it out... the latest installment from Not your average girl...
this is one dream that will get you to thinking
Not your average girl...: the basement: "My grandmother's house does not have a basement... but for some reason I always dream about it."

"Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated-it can only bring harm." Psalm 37:8
My husband has seen me at my worst. Sunday he really got to see it as I threw things across the bathroom. Not that he didn't add fuel to the situation, but that's another story for another day. I see it happening more and more often. I've scheduled another appointment with my doctor, and I know he's going to tell me he wants me to go back to the counsellor, but I just don't want to listen to what she has to say. Yes I'm mad and no I haven't gotten over being mad.... and I don't think I will. Of course, me being pissed off all the time does not excuse the fact that I have made some terrible stupid mistakes.
This was the scripture that was given to me in my daily devotional. How ironic is it that I have a hard time dealing and letting go?
No matter how hard I try, my personal issues keep getting the best of me. My anger is the worst. After my anger is the social anxiety, then I have to deal with the depression. The last couple of months it has really gotten to me. I have tried to humble myself, I have tried to let it go and turn my eyes towards the Lord, but there are days when I become so angry I can barely control myself. I act completely on impulse. The stress gets to me. My chest hurts. I'm so mad I just to throw something.

Of course, me being pissed off all the time does not excuse the fact that I have made some terrible stupid mistakes. “Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It's a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you're hurt.” ~ Tom Gates
Maybe because I'm just depressed is the reason I'm so angry. Why are you allowed to be happy, when I hurt? Do you know how hard it is for me to be humble? I'm learning. I'm being humble by coming to you and saying, I am tired of being mad, I am tired or hurting, I am tired of feeling like the world is against me. Do you know how hard it is for me to say, I'm sorry? I'm tired of always being the one that admits to being wrong. Even when I'm not wrong. I will even admit I was wrong when I haven't done anything... just to make things better. I apoligize too much.
I'm ashamed of my anger, and I am even more ashamed at the fact that I don't know how to deal with it sometimes. That's one reason I started this blog... I was going to talk about how ticked off I was and figured that no one would ever read it. My outlet to release my pent up anger is flawed because if I say something I get called out about it. So what is a girl to do?
In the mean time, I need to learn how to deal with my depression. I have prayed over this but sometimes it consumes me to the point that I end up driving myself insane. I keep praying for God to take it away, but he is trying to teach me a lesson. Maybe he is trying to teach me how to deal with things, rather than make it go away. Maybe he is trying to teach me to work through a selfish attitude? Or maybe helping me to create a more humble heart. I don't know... all I know is that I don't know how much more I can take.

Miss Rosie's Lasagna
While I'm at it... thought I would give you this one as well. A few of my old girlfriends requested this quite often. Since we don't speak anymore I thought I would post this so they can fix it for themselves.
Another one of my feel good meals, I fix this for the hubby and I and we can get 3 meals out of it for us and the kiddos. Most of the time I fix 2 batches and freeze one for a later date. If you decide to freeze, don't bake. It will dry out and the noodles will get tough. Wait to bake it until after you thaw and you plan to eat that day.
Love my Lasagna
1 box (16oz) of lasagna noodles
1 lb ground beef
24 oz jar of Ragu Traditional (yes I cheat)
1 8oz can of diced tomatoes
6 cups shredded mozzarella
8 oz cream cheese
16 oz small curd cottage cheese
2 eggs
Italian seasoning
Cook Lasagna noodles al dente.
Brown ground beef add sauce and drained tomatoes, let simmer while noodles are cooking.Beat 2 eggs and mix with cottage cheese. Spread a thin layer of sauce on bottom of pan to prevent sticking. Layer noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, small pinches of cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. You should be able to make 3 layers in a 9 x 13 pan. Last layer leave out cottage and cream cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning lightly. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let Lasagna rest for atl east 10 minutes before you slice.

We want to Know Wednesday - Q&A
Saw this over at Confessions from an Impulsive Addict and I thought, why not... looks like fun. If you are interested in playing along, click on the cute button above and link up! Ok...good!
So here are this weeks questions:
1. If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe.
2. What's a bad habit that you have {or ha} that is/was hard to break?
3. If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?
4. If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask?
5. Describe yourself in 6 words.
1. Vacation - I have always wanted to travel the world. So that is exactly what I would do. I'd stay in the best hotels, be choferred around town while I consume massive amounts of champagne and strawberries.
2. Bad Habbit - I smoke. I have tried to quit, quit several times and no success. I quit when I was pregnant with both my children, but always picked the habbit back up. I love to smoke, and that is probably why I can't quit. I really don't do it that much, maybe 4 or 5 a day. You would think I could put it down.
3. Dinner tonight - well, I'm not really on a diet or counting calories... but I'd really like to have Lasagna for dinner... my lasagna recipe, with french bread smothered in garlic butter.
4. Interview - you know, there isn't anyone that I really want to interview. I know you think that is stupid, but it's true. There isn't any celebrity out there dead or alive that I have ever been really impressed with. I don't get star struck by anyone. If I could get the chance to talk to my Grandma Sadie again, I would. She was a pretty awesome woman.
5. 6 words - Understanding, Loving, Compassionate, Overwhelmed, Guarded, and Honest.
