I love my sister!

Why do I love my sister? Let's see, she keeps me grounded. No living in fantasy land for me.

She listens when I need to scream and cry. I can only yell, she can't handle the screaming. I can cry however I need to make sure I am clear. That one is hard.

When I tell jokes that make me laugh she stares and blinks until I am done laughing and wiping away the tears. She supports me when I need the support. She is my greatest sounding board. she can be very patient, no small feat since I am loud, and illogical at times.

She is my very best friend. We seem to know each other much better then our spouses do. We even think alike in many ways.

Thank God for my sister.

Though we are complete opposites in many ways, We strive to forgive and offer grace.

Thank you sis.

Life of an unemployed housewife

I am sitting here wondering if there is more to my life then this. I am sure there is. I have an unemployed son and his pregnant wife living here. My other boy is in Missouri on an Army base but is a Marine. and My niece live's in El Paso, Texas.

This may sound depressing, but I am hoping it will change. Hoping my unemployed son will find a great job, his wife will get used to us and my Marine will excel in all that he does. I am hoping that my niece will have another child so I can spoil that one. Not that I do a whole lot of that with the first one she has.

This is the next chapter in my life. Waiting. I can take the reigns of my life, but where will I go? I haven't lots of money to travel, I can sew, however not perfect.I am not old. I am in my 40's and I just got here. I have volunteered in the prison, taught science courses for children, not a credentialed teacher, but had a great time. I went to school for day care and office administration.

So why do I seem depressed? I have no job, not an empty nester, not a full account so I can travel,and I am not losing anymore weight.

Bright side, I am looking for a job, my kid can't live with me forever, right? I can save, and I could exercise.

Well enough griping, the rain is falling, the wind is blowing and there is no fire in the fire place.

My husband is here and I have a snuggie and an NOOK to cuddle with and read.

Happy New Year everyone, may this year end in a happy way.
