HAPPY SATURDAY!!!!!

Its RAINING! WAHOO! Happy Saturday! Thought I'd stop by and say hello & wish everyone a wonderful day. Been up enjoying the rain, some great chatting with a great connection & about to have me a cuppa. Sending up prayers for everyone near & far happy & sad etc. Make the best of each moment of your day. Just a few more days until the new year. I'm plugging away at some very interesting goals. Gonna get out and about for a few things to make it through the weekend without a bunch of hoopla. Gonna stay around the homestead and enjoy the rain. Hope it keeps up! SMILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE! All best....

Good Morning Beautiful Lady!!!!!!!!!!!  Have I told you lately that I love you. Yesterday was good for the most part.  The girlies & I went shopping and spent some of our Christmas $$$$.  I got a new purse and some nice VS undies.  We spent the evening at a family friends bday party and then some family video game time.  For the most part the evening was good. I am a bit stressed today.  My oldest stepdaughter is angry at her parents because they wouldn't let her go out of town with a friend for the weekend.  My hubby and his exwife talked about and both felt uncomfortable with the situation and made the decision together.  Of course now they are both horrible, she hates them, it isn't fair etc.  I am being indirectly blamed for dad's decision.  "You never used to be like this, you used to always let me do what I wanted" but oh well.  I actually really didn't have any input into the decision.  So my oldest isn't speaking to her father, hates him, etc.  I am being put in the middle as the go between and I am a bit frustrated with them.  Hoping that the temper dies down some today and it isn't as stressful around here.  Of course I do realize that this is just part of the teenage years and she doesn't understand where the adults are coming from and I am trying to be patient.  Maybe I will try and talk some to her today if we have some alone time.  Just say some prayers for patience & strength will you. Not much on the agenda today.  I guess it will just be a lazy Saturday at home.  Enjoy your day, get some rest, relaxation & you time.  Love you lots.

I absolutely LOVE that you love me!!!! I love you too & want you to always know that!!! Its very nice to hear, very nice to say & feels wonderful. Another deep rooted lesson I learned this last year....I say "I love you" quite a bit more & it feels good. I didn't realize just how much others enjoy hearing it. I've always been one to express it more without the words. A gal can make some changes and choices that is for sure. =)  I'm glad ya'll got some shopping in. The buggas & I went to Target & a few other places and they got matching Pet Vet sets & I got a Colbie Caillat Cd. In addition, twice this week once just the buggas & I and then them, my nephews & I have gone to McDonald's & they have played in the kids play tunnels and slide area. They've had happy meals & I've had coffee. Not too shabby their coffee I guess. Ok, who am I kidding I'm a 7-11 gal! Then yesterday after that visit we headed to a local park where we played for a few more hours. It was a *****illy but we didn't seem to notice & I even had flip flops on. YES in December!  Ahhh yes! I do know what you're experiencing. My oldest nephew is 10 going on 16 or whatever and since my sis is divorced and both her & his father are in other relationships she is on the receiving end of the "I hate you's", "life sux", "this isn't fair", "you never let me do anything" and other lovely reactions & statements. Being patient I SWEAR is a hard trait to learn even as adults we struggle with this. Alone time is good to give your point of view and even if she isn't that receptive she KNOWS its coming from love & concern. Of course! Prayers are a tremendous source of comfort for me & praying for others is beneficial. I see it with my own eyes all the time & feel it in my heart. Lazy is how I'm wanting my day as well. Been to the store & 7-11 to grab a few things to get us through the weekend but otherwise its gonna be resting & veggin and I am going to get off here now & read & maybe watch a movie. I hope & pray things get better today & know that you are loved. =)
