This morning I woke up early!!! Read some more of my book. Got sad and had a cry. Then I found my hands were together like in prayer. I rested in Gods presence and fell back to sleep

We had lunch at church today My friend who got cancer earlier in the year was there She looks good even though shes having chemo. She did say it was the first time in ages that she does feel ok. LOVE her hair (wig). Makes me wish my hair would grow longer faster. So I can donate mine. My long term goal.

When I got home I looked though another bible based childrens book of mine and started gathering ideas for teaching from it sometime. I have about 2 more lessons from the book Im using at the mo. Weve decided Ill be teaching for the next 2 weeks. I LOVE how the kids are responding to the teaching. Boosts my confidence

The one Im using at the mo

The one I studied after church for future lesson plans

Outside my window . . . its fine but cold

I am thinking… happily about the fact that this week has been better in more than 1 way

I am thankful for… B13s supportive granddad we are probably going to start corrosdance school hes paying for it through a family trust

From the kitchen… the dishes are calling my name.

I am wearing… black pants, a pink svivvy and my sneakers

I am reading…Finding Alice – Melody Carlson

I am hoping… its fine tomorrow when I pick up my catologues

I am hearing… the TV D3 is watching sponge bob

Around the house…CYPS are going to come and see us tomorrow so I want the dishes done and the floors need vacumming again

One of my favorite things… my job I like meeting people and walking

A few plans for the rest of the week: my job, the womans group seeing my friends again.

Things are getting brighter

For the last coupld of weeks I have been down sometimes excessilvly so

However I am begginning to feel like Im coming out of it at last

Last night we went out to dinner (2nd time in a week yahoo!!) at the pastors and his wifes house. There was another couple from the church there too. B13 went earlier and helped the pastor cook a yummy roast. After dinner we played cards

Today was a productive day

I picked up and delievered some more of my catologues. I picked up D3 and then came home and did the dishes and finished my housework

My Saturday

my3boysandi — Sat, 30 May 2009 06:29:50 +0000

This morning I eagerly went and beat the streets delivering my catalogues. After only delivering 93 I ran out and after sometime decided to use my initiative (I hope thats what it will be seen as). I went to my boss’s house and got another box of catalogues and delivered them too.

Then this afternoon I did some laundry, then read read read my book. Later in the afternoon I had a bath and read some more of my book.

What am I reading???

sick and sad

my3boysandi — Fri, 22 May 2009 06:29:52 +0000

I had a real sad day yesterday. I have a lot going on at the moment. I am a bit depressed. I have a lot of negative self talk going on within me. I am thinking of getting some more counselling. I have some sessions up my sleeve with the counsellor I saw after my split up.

I got diagnosed with asthma on Wednesday. I thought I had a relapse of the cough/cold. However, this time it was worst. I cant breathe after a coughing spell. I havent been sleeping well because of it either since the weekend. I was urged/ordered by a special friend to go to the doctors. I had a very quick after seeing the doctor for like 10 minutes I went and got the medicine, a reliever. I didnt know how to use it. I felt unsure Id be confident enough at home so I went back and talked to the receptionist. She made me an appointment to see the ASTHMA nurse. She was AWESOME. I talked to her for maybe 30 minutes and she was EXCELLENT. I didnt have to pay for her advice, even though thats all the doctor did really. She was as interactive as he was if not more. Showing me how to use the inhaler for example. Giving me some info and a diary. To try to find out what tiggers it. She wants to see me in 3 weeks.
I was surprised the doctor knew straight away more or less what was wrong with me.
I have been told, I might have it before in the pass I was always told to go home and clean the house etc. This doctor did seem a little better and at least gave me the diagnoses. I do feel especially after seeing the nurse that she was much better and informative.

I am seriously thinking sending B13 to school. I really wanted to home school him. However, his attitude isnt good either. He is stubborn and rude. He doesnt really respect me. I have taken away his TV, music system and cell phone until further notice. I feel some what responsible for his behaviour as his mother and feel like a bad mother.

My Sunday

my3boysandi — Sun, 17 May 2009 10:57:29 +0000

Despite waking up with a really sore throat, sore chest and back. I knew I had to go to church. I was rostered on to Sunday school teaching and with only an hour to cancel out which I didnt think would be fair. I prayed and carried on.

The class was good. Only 3 boys turned up and they were interested and asked some good questions. Much to my surprise my voice didnt give out on me. Thanks Lord. I did decide not to sing before my teaching in the main service as I knew I had some reading ahead of me.

This afternoon I had a big change around. I know I should have been resting but this has been on my mind for sometime. I now have my own bedroom. D3 for the first time ever has his own room. I have put our dining room table in our big lounge and the kitchen has the school stuff in it A very productive afternoon

Fridays Fave Five

my3boysandi — Fri, 15 May 2009 06:32:24 +0000

Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts a “Friday Fave Five” in which we share our five favorite things from the past week.

1. In New Zealand the 2nd school term starts on the 27th of April. However due to my car breaking down, having to spend an extra fab week with my sister and then D3 having to spend a week with his dad, this week has really seen us getting back into our rountine. Its been good. I think I like being busy and organised.

2. I had a really good catologue run this week. It consisted mainly of one LONG road and just one side road. Also while I am discussing work I have one repeat customer who has agreed with me that she wants me to be her seller. This means lots more business with her as well as being a repeat customer she is also a nice lady. And shes a self confessed shop alcholic

3. I have D3 home this today and this weekend as his dad is busy I like having him home

4. I have a special helpful supportive friend who wants to help me parent my teenager B13 better. She has 2 grown up daughters so she knows how teenagers can “push the buttons” and try to wind their mothers up

5. At church last Sunday I came to the conclusion that I have to let last year go. I have to forgive how the ex treated my boy B13. I cant keep getting all upset about it as I did the Thursday before that. After all the ex and B13 dont have anything to do with one another now.
