staying out of trouble.

well, kinda . . . . . .

thus far, my worst is to waste time reading a blood curling suspense murder mystery by James Rollins. I like to read. And I have to face reality everyday. So, I enjoy leaving reality behind me. Escaping deep within the pages of a book. And returning to acknowledge life and my responsibilities.

That said, I'll finish this book by tomorrow and will be neatly settled into reality by tomorrow morning or late tonight. Paperwork for work must get done.

I personally find nothing wrong with reading a suspense book...and the reason being is that sometimes we just need to be able to get away from it all and relax...just as long as we give God His time as well...then you are fine.

luv ya

I did better today. Finally managed to pay all the bills and clean out more stuff.

The come to Jesus meeting was yesterday. The sequelae discussion was today. All cards are on the table. I finally put every single card on the table. I am exhausted.

I finished the paperwork for work, woot. I parented the children in the morning while he slept, and he parented in the afternoon and evening while, I slept, studied, etc.

I'm doing better with getting to bed ontime. I'm not going to be working any extra shifts for work. I don't know how the bills are going to be paid. Those extra shifts help make the ends meet. But right now, I'm seeing that I am too emotionally exhausted from my current stuff? I don't know what to call it.

I'm not going to call it a marriage. It is more of a complicated compilation of past abuses which have trickled into whatever this is right now, which has included self destructive behaviors.

I've released one of my prayer partners as they have more unfortunate situation than I. I can't handle talking to my friend. I'm afraid that I will say exactly what I think. Which it's dangerous when anyone does that, .

That btw, would be why I can't work anymore extra hours at work. I've too often said exactly what I thought and angered the wrong people. What I said was true, but still. There's a time to speak and a time to be silent. In my line of work, the time to speak doesn't come very often. And it's better to just document details.

I hate having battles or stress going and coming. It can be way too much. I gotta find another way to cope.

Hi sis...well sounds like you are making a bit of progress in finding peace and calmness in your life...and this is good...as it will help take some of the stress away. Remember to find some time for just you and God daily...as this is what will bring you strength to keep on keeping on.

luv ya sis

Good point, mlg.

Off to my bible reading for the day. And tonight, hopefully, I can steal away to read my Bible at work too.

One of my online friends, responded to one of my posts, reminding me that I need to pack my gym bag this morning so that I'm ready for the gym after work in the morning.

As for the day's accountability:
Made the family breakfast, even the roommate/spouse.

Had the boys walk the dog around the block twice.

Had the boys pick-up their bathroom and wipe down the surfaces with the lysol wipes that spouse bought.

Angrily taught the spouse how to manage their blood sugar again. I made it through without cursing too much this time, which is good. I was also able to give concrete proof of why his methods are not good. I showed him his blood sugar readings from yesterday. this is EXHAUSTING. in the end, spouse laughed and so did I.

vaccuumed the floor in the family room, hallway, and kitchen. wiped down the cabinets with the pledge. began dusting in one other room.

Oh, I've also made tea for myself and spouse and made sure one of the kids fed the dog.



Accountability for yesterday:
paperwork for work completed.
shredded more documents from office.
began dusting and wiping off surfaces in office.
chatted with a friend online, who reminded me that my husband isn't nearly as off base as the friend is. LOL

Wow in a way things at your home seem to resemble mine...especially just the day to day stuff that has to be done...but I enjoy doing stuff like that as I feel that a clean house is a representation of caring for those who live in that home

I didn't know you went to the gym sis...I like to exercise too...helps with ones emotions as well.

luv ya

[Whisperingsprings]

me too mlg.

hmmm, my roommate is helping me clean. He also made a cover for the semi-circular window so that I could sleep during the day. I was very grateful for both. The covering on the window helped me immensely and I told him so. I've always said, that he doesn't want me per se, but he is a nice man.

went to the gym after work. wish I could say that I hit the gym. I think the gym hit back and the ladies in their 60-70s were much more spry than I . It was a good reminder that exercise needs to me my goal for 5 days a week.

work was interesting to say the least and and . I was busy but watching the other drama take place was humorous and unbelievable at the same time. wow . . . . .

i must say that due to a couple of new regulations mandated by whomever, people are learning manners. who knew that all those lawsuits and HR trips by sooo many people across the US would result in people being forced to choose to be polite. crazy huh?

well, i gotta go. errands to be done before work.

and to get there early to avoid partnering with other employees who are way to high maintenance for me. .

oh yes, i did read my Bible yesterday and today.

Hey sis, just a short note...want ya to know that I luv ya...and that God loves ya more

[Whisperingsprings]

Friday night was BAD. All the big bosses were woken up. Oiye. BUT, as always, GOD was WONDERFUL :) .

My big bosses pray. I honestly believe all or at least most of them pray. It was awesome to see God's hand move on behalf of everyone involved. God is AWESOME!!!!!!

My last few nights working have been very difficult at best. My body hurts. HOWEVER, I've been able to witness God move in my family, my home, and at work. And it has been WONDERFUL.

I am here to testify, that God didn't leave me. God didn't leave His other babies either. He loves all His children. He even loves those who aren't His. He shows them compassion as well. GOD IS SO VERY KIND AND GOOD.

Now, to go back to bed with a good book . . . . my body aches, but my soul is sooo busy rejoicing come giggle with me.

[mlg]

Awww it's so wonderful to see the joy of the Lord exuding from you. Makes my heart smile this morning.

I was wondering, what kind of work do you do sis?

luv ya
