Moving, Garage Sales, and the Like

Well, with moving to a new house right around the corner, I have been hurriedly packing and trying to get things cleaned up all at the same time. Life is hectic and crazy busy at the moment. My son's 2nd b-day party is this month too. So, lets recap...we are having a garage sale on May 9th, we begin moving stuff to the other house on May 15th, and Asher's b-day party is on May 16th. We are to be completley out of this present house by the end of May. PLUS, I started a new job on Mon. May 4th, for more income. Why the h*** is it soo hard to live in this world....why is it soo d*** expensive? I will admit that I was manipulated into qutting my job to stay home and take care of kids (that I never got paid for more than a couple times anyway), despite my husband wanting me to contine working. I was wrong to go and do what I though I wanted to do, and go against his better judgment. I'm sorry for that. AND to make matters worse, I couldn't get my job back. Ugh!! So, I have resorted to fast food part time to make up the difference that we need to survive. Oh, and I will admit that we are seeking assistance from the state for my son to go to school/daycare during the day, while Kent and I are at work, a couple years ago...I would have been to proud to ask for help, but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive right?

Well...okay...bare with me while I get on my soap box for just a minute. Can ANYONE tell me why the state caters to the lazy a**es that sit on thier butt all day and don't do anything, or worse, go from job to job (because they don't FEEL peace about the job they are at) and yet, they are the ones that get ALL the financial help. But the people that truly need it, that actually bust thier butt to try and provide for thier family we are screwed and the state says "sorry, there is nothing we can do for you". I mean really, what kind of fair is that. I know that life is not fair, that is one thing that life has taught me, but really! Okay, sorry for that...I will get off my soap box now.

Well, as I mentioned we are having a garage sale on May 9th. We are selling ALL types of things. Since it's a moving sale, there are items such as: washer/dryer, refridgerator, lots of clothes, dishes, misc. items. So, we have been runing around trying to get it all together. I have spent the last couple weeks trying to run around trying to get all these together. Because we only have 2 DAYS LEFT until the sale. So, as you can imagine, our house is a mess (and yes, I do mean, a mess) I know what some of you are thinking. Jodie is such an OCD "clean freak", how can her house be a mess, well friends....it is. DEAL WITH IT!! And not to mention, we are also moving too, so not only are thier garage sale boxes everywhere, but also moving boxes everywhere, and also stuff is not exactly cleaned up.

Well, that is enough for now....more to come later.

The First Blog-Just me!

Okay, well, yeah, this is my first blog, but after taking the advice of a close friend/family memeber, I decided to start MY OWN blog. Yeah, it's gonna be rants and rambalings of me and my life. I am sorry for anyone reading this that is offended, but I if there is one thing in my life that is becoming MORE AND MORE clear to me, it is that you CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE!! No matter how hard you try. I HAVE been burnt by people, been on the other end of gossip, and had close friends and family members betray me. I'M DONE! I'm LIVING FOR GOD, and NO ONE ELSE!
Now, some of you that are reading this may be thinking, OMG...this girl is a b****, but oh, well. I'm done trying to please people. I've spent the majority of my life trying to please everyone and having people approve of what I did. I am not really sure why it took so long, but you live and learn right?
I will LIVE MY OWN LIFE, and DO MY OWN THINGS, to GOD'S GLORY and submit to my husband as I am instructed to do in God's word. I'm sorry if you don't agree with me, I have done some soul searching and been throught a WHOLE LOT more than most people should have to deal with ithin a 6 month period. I think they breaking point for me was back in Feb. (over v-day weekend) when my husband I lost our little girl, Jordyn Blaire. it was at that point that I just GAVE UP and GAVE FULL CONTROL to God. I couldn't do it anymore. I knew that I wasn't strong enough to do it and needed help.

Well, I'm done rambling for now. Thanks for stopping by to listen to me rant. You're awesome! Love you all!
