So it's been a pretty productive weekend even if I didn't accomplish all I had planned...all I have done has turned out well, and that is all that matters... And to boot...one room in the house is really clean...really really clean....like the baseboards got vaccuumed and everything....well, the windows didn't get washed, but I did beat the drapes :) and the fireplace is clean again too!
I did some sewing...more embroidery with a machine that scares the beans out of me...but us in the office at work will now have "mostly" matching shirts and all matching embroidery. I was minus two shirts, so I had to go and get those today and since I bought the others this time last year, they don't have the same one's out...so they are similar, but not exact...but will do. I was pretty pleased with how the embroidery turned out. They are all in the wash now so they are nice and fresh when I take them in tomorrow....
I got Miss Anna some things cut out and will hopefully get at least two things sewn tonight :) I need to get upstairs and get their room finished organized....it should only take another half hour and that would be two really clean rooms :) The room by room things is exciting me, can you tell. It's odd what I do with a day off...really odd.
Today we also went to Toys"R" Us. They were OUT of ZhuZhu Pets...the twins want those for their birthday. I also got some other ideas for gifts for their birthdays.
I got an email from the Social Worker at the hospital. I will have to call that one treatment center tomorrow during my lunch for them. It doesn't usually take much other than me asking what they need to know to send a denial letter because my son will not be coming to their facility. It is insane that these places take on kids that they have no business touching just because of the "secure" insurance dollars filling a vacant bed. It's frustrating they are apparently not out there to truly help, but rather to make the almightly dollar. Thank you but no thank you....no more band-aids for our son...NONE...and the dr agrees. He needs a very specialized plan...but I will call tomorrow and get them to send the denial letter...some how...some way.
Dinner was fast and easy....Hamburger Helper with a salad. Used up the chunk of beef left from tacos last night as well as the shredded lettuce...
Church was awesome as usual....Sunday School hit a nail on the head and put into words some things I had been mulling over in my heart and my head and put some peace into my heart as well. Now, if I can regurgitate it to get someone else to understand it, things will be very good! You see, I don't deal well with two-faced people...you know people who act one way in front of you, but as soon as you turn your back say completely backwards thoughts...well, I shouldn't say I don't deal well with them, I simply choose not to have them in my life....just because I choose not to set myself up for the hurt and pain that is caused by such people, doesn't mean I haven't forgiven them...but in the same light, just because I have forgiven their "trespasses" against me, doesn't mean that the "relationship" is restored or that it has to be restored...and it set to peace in my heart that it really is OK that this is the case. Sometimes it is OK to choose not to have certain people in your life if all they do is cause pain in some form or fashion. This all came out of one lesson in a class that DH and I are taking called "Blessed are the Peacemakers". It's a shame he was in NY with his extended family instead of hearing this in class...I truly can't wait for next week...or for our Wednesday night class "The Power of We". It's all good stuff...very good stuff... :) The other thought it brought to mind was something that was shared with me a while back....it's like picking a sore...it heals, but if you pick at it, it will bleed again...but it will also heal...and then if picked at bleed...and so on and so forth...sometimes it takes putting a wall between you and the sore to protect everyone/thing invovled...When someone/thing continually does the same thing over and over again...it's just like picking a scab off a sore...and sometimes the only way for it to heal is to make sure it can't be picked....
I'm now officially rambling...but maybe it provided good thought :)
