The women

Went to a women conference today at church and I realized that I have really missed out the last 4 years. It was nice to be around all the women from my past and get the advise from them that I had gotten as a teenager. It also made me realize that I do have some in depth things that I could be using my blog for instead of a post on peeing in the woods (which was not a how to, by the way).

My parents are outside with my kids gardening right now (something that I just despise) and they are having a great time. After one mini class I took, I've realized that I have let the worldly things take over. I love to watch Criminal Minds, but am I gonna die without it? No, I don't think so. A speaker quoted someone else (which I don't recall whom) "Things that are priorities are not interruptions." This class was focusing on family, but the class before this was a focus on priorities. The last class I took (there were 6 and we could choose 3) we talked about weathering storms, being rooted in faith, surviving trials and tribulations...There were specific names for all these classes, which I have written down in the basement, but I am not going to go down and get and it really doesn't matter. 

So...I've really been thinking about the way I would like things to go and the things these women taught. I am going to work on sharing the points they were making and the challenges they had for us. Some won't be as easy as others, but I'll work on them a week at a time. I know it would all be easier if our house was sold and we had our own place, but until that happens I can stumble through it all. Hope you all can bare with me while I attempt to make some changes in our lives...I am still going to hold onto 3 different grudges that I have and I'll own them too, but I'll try to let the others go.

To Church or not to Church?...That is the Question...

(Hoping not to offend anyone)
Alright...Church is in just a few hours...Not sure I can put my heart into it. A lot of people  (which is most of them) aren't talking to us over the fact Dear, Sweet Hubby applied for a out of state job.

Who can blame him? With Friends/Acquaintances/Church members like these....no one really.

Dear Church goer,
This is not the end of the world...It's just the return of ours.
Sincerely,
Moving on

Do I dare tell them it's a bit more than an interview now? Oh, heck no! The house will go up on the market...if we are lucky no one will notice and we can disappear into the night. Not really.

It was so difficult to even be accepted here in the first place. After 4 years of hard work...They like me, They really like me...hahaha...and this will just crush them.  I'd like to thank all my fans and followers of Pampered Chef and Stampin' Up...Dang, guess I'd better let them know, oh and the MOPS moms because I am in charge of all the mom activities, guess I finally did find a way to get out of that...Any other obligations...Well guess I have to resign from all the craft boards I am on...no more money for me, lol.

On a serious note...My cousin that is 3 has some serious health issues and he has to have surgery again (there have been so many and he will need them over and over again for the rest of his life). His oxygen level has come up to 60% and they will be going in to try and fix his veins and arteries again. There is a special prayer and fasting session going on right now. So if I don't go, I know I'll feel guilty, but if I go I know I'll feel a bit miserable...one my back and two the glares.

Did I mention the church members hated us for over a year when we moved here? Well we were told it is a family there (literally) and we weren't family (picture glares). We were also told and still mentioned they don't need no Idaho and Utah people coming in and taking over their church...Yes...most of you are laughing cause you get it...It is comical to hear from a leader at the pulpit during a state wide gathering...with a majority of the audience being from Idaho and Utah, there for just a few years.

So to Church or not to Church?  I just can't wait to be back in my element with crafty people on Super Saturdays, lol...
