My Boring Life

So it's obviously been awhile since I updated this, but I sit here and think... Gee... I have been so super busy, yet I have nothing to write about... it's all so boring.

Memorial weekend was great because we didn't really have anything planned, which is always the best. I brought Sami to church with me on Sunday for the first time in a long time. I hate it because she naps at about 9:00am every weekend so she's asleep when I go to church, but his past weekend her schedule was all out of whack, which was great for me. So I brought her with and the cinema cafe was closed so I was forced to put her in care center... I was a little worried at first, but she went in just fine. I was so proud of her, she didn't even know I was gone... I think it helped that I knew one of the people working in the room so it put me at ease. The message was a great one about politics. I have a hard time actually doing everything John said, but I do what I can and ask God to help with the rest. The message was essentially about how the leaders that are in place have been put there by God through us. Therefore, we have to trust that they are there for a reason and know what they're doing because it was God's decision and would you ever tell God he was wrong? I wouldn't... I may not always agree with him or like it, but I'd never tell him he was wrong. So I will work on trusting that God knows politics because personally I think there may have been a misunderstanding for the past 8 years, but that's just my belief.

On Monday, we went to the races for the first time this year. The weather was great, but it didn't matter much since I had reserved a table inside. I was worried about having Sami there and her getting bored and rambunctious, but she did great. It helped that we were at the end of an aisle so we had a little extra room for her to move around. Then Jason and I would take her away from the table for a greak to go outside or run around for a little bit. We still left early, but we were ready to go anyway, so it worked out great. Sami even got to pet a horse and she was so excited about it. I was holding her and she had the biggest smile on her face looking at Jason and I like "are you seeing this... how cool is this". It was a really great weekend.

This week has gome by so fast. Unfortunately with the weather yo-yoing so much, Jason and Sami both have colds, but we're fighting through it. Jason has a big softball tournament in town this weekend so our friends Mac and Angie, their son (Sami's future husband) Cyrus and their dog Beez are all spending the weekend with us. We love it when they come over and before we all had kids they would stay over a lot so it's great to get to do it now and then. They are such great friends and we enjoy their company so much so we're all really looking forward to this weekend. Let's just hope the weather cooperates.

Sick - Jessie you may not want to read this

This post may not be for the weak stomached... but Sami was sick last Thursday throwing up and now last night I started. What adult throws up from being sick??? I honestly can not tell you the last time I threw up from being sick. Now there's been the drinking too much throw up and then when I was giving birth to Sami I threw up twice... but other then that... I couldn't even take a guess.

And once you become a mom and get sick... that's the worst. You can take a day off from work when you don't feel good, but you can't take a day from being a mom. Luckily Sami is old enough that she can entertain herself with toys for short periods and she is a pretty easy kid, but what if she wasn't... ugh, that would suck. So I took the day off to relax and heal at home by myself. It just really sucks because I have been out sick a total of 4 days in the past 3 weeks... 3 days for me and 1 for Sami and I just hate being sick and I especially hate letting my co-workers down, but at the same time... they would hate it more if they got what I have. I have one co-worker who's getting married this Saturday and I'd really hate to get him sick and a bunch of us are going to the wedding, so how awful if I got them sick too. So I'll just take my day off and lay around and do nothing... isn't that what a good day off is about... if only my somach wasn't churning like butter.

Mother's are Always Right

So I figure since Mother's day is just around the corner, this would be an appropriate topic. You see I never fully believed this until a couple years ago. I was going through a difficult personal situation and that's when I fully bought into it and said, that's it, I may never make another decision in my life without asking my mom first. Well okay, I haven't gone that far, but I do trust now that my mother is never wrong. And being a mother myself, I fully understand it.

If you had to pick one motto for my mom, it would be "Let go and let God". 5 words to live by. I believe in it, but yet why is it so hard to do. I'm very pig-headed and if something isn't done my way or if I don't like the way things are going, I get so upset about get so cold to others. But if I could just let go, then my relationships would be better... primarily with my husband. Now I know I'm always right, but he's so pig-headed, he'll never agree with me. So rather then get upset with him, I just need to let go and let God. I know he'll never agree, so why get upset about it and is it really worth getting upset about in the first place? Well sometimes yes, but most of the time... no it's not. So I am going to make a conscious effort to practice that whenever something is upsetting me. Now if only my daughter could understand it... she has 2 strikes against her with both Jason and I being so pig-headed and we already see it in her. If you tell her no, that's it, temper tantrum. And if she's trying to do something and can't get it right, temper tantrum... the force is strong in that one and we're trying to break her like a wild pony, but it's not easy.

On a side note, today I was ordering Mother's Day gifts for my mother and Jason's mother, so I asked the guys in my office if they've bought gifts yet for their mother's. They were all like "oh that's this weekend isn't it". So I made a few suggestions and a couple of them were like, "$80 is a little spendy when I can get a card at Target for $2.99"... which I replied "$80 is nothing for the woman who gave you life." Which of course they replied "now you sound like her too". I guess after creating and carrying my daughter inside me for 10 months and giving birth to her, I have a whole new appreciation for this one day a year that is meant solely for mother's. And it's sole purpose is letting them know how much you appreciate the sacrifice and love they've given you your whole life... so $80 seems like a small price to pay for the years of blood, sweat and tears that your mother has put into raising you to be a well-rounded, loving, caring and successful individual in society. But then again, if you have a mom who didn't give a crap if you grew up to be a pimple on the butt cheek of society, then go ahead and by her a $2.99 card at Target.

PS... I love you mom... thanks for making sure I wasn't a pimple ;o)

Work then Play

You're going to have to wait for the fun stuff until I take care of business. So I finally went to the doctor today and it tunrs out I have bronchitis. So now I'm on my inhaler regularly to help my lungs since I'm wheezing, then I'm on a pill for my cough and an antibiotic on top of that. And I was even lucky enough to get into the actual doctor so it only cost me $10... YA!!! But now Sami is coughing a little, so I've been giving her nebulizer to her twice a day now. So hopefully she's not getting real sick now. I just want us to all be healthy by Aric and Andrea's wedding next week... especially since I have to read in front of a church full of people, I can't be coughing and have a scratchy throat.

Now the fun stuff... So anyone that knows me knows how much I hate George Bush and am a democrat through and through. So I got this joke in my e-mail this morning and thought it was great so I just wanted to share it with you... ENJOY!


President Bush, First Lady Laura and Dick Cheney were flying on Air Force One.
George looked at Laura, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.'
Laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.'
Cheney added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.'
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, 'Such big-shots back there. Shit I could throw all their asses out the window and make 56 million people very happy.'
