The Lovely Bones

I have started reading this novel called The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (yes, I know how to read). Anyways, this book is very interesting. It is one of them that you can’t put down. Its about this girl who was murdered. She is telling this story of how she was killed and who her killer was,etc. Its all written in her perspective. So everything you imagine is through her eyes. She describes her heaven and what she sees when she looks down on earth. I am only on chapter six.

Quote that Caught my Eye

I really thought this was a cool quote.

“There are two ways to look at life. One is as though nothing is a miracle; the other is as though everything is.”

-Albert Einstein

where to start????

My husband has been acting kindof funny towards me this week. I don’t know whats going on. He says nothing is wrong. But I don’t know. I feel like my world is trying to crumble. There are days when I feel isolated. I go to work with this big smile on my face. Greeting customers as they come up to the register and all. They ask me how my day is going. I tell them fine.(Thats just cliche`) They really don’t want to to know how I am doing. Sometimes I feel like no one really cares how anyone feels. I feel like I am dying inside. But I don’t know why. I mean I feel like I have tried and tried to please everyone around me (including my husband). I don’t know…. I just feel depressed. My husband hardly said one word to me this morning. He got ready for work and I got ready for work… I felt like I had to pry a kiss or at least a hug out of him. My heart is troubled my mind is confused. I get these mixed signals like he wants to try and work things out and then there are times where he doesn’t. He says he loves me. But I don’t know. He don’t come up and hug me out of the blue anymore nor does he kiss me out of the blue.
Who knows anymore?

Busy

I had a busy day at work. I didn’t get to take my lunch til 3:00. But anyways, life is good right now. It’s 12:38am here. Sleep has settled over the house so which means it is quite. I don’t have to work tomorrow.(Thank goodness) I don’t think I could handle another day like today. I figure I will go to church tomorrow with the girls, hopefully Jeremy ain’t to tired and he would want to go. Its seems like it has been awhile since we all been to church together. I think Loretta, the girls, and I are planning on going somewhere after church.
Enough said,
Amanda

Spending time

This evening, I came home to a sick 3 year old. She is complaining that her head, her feet, and her tummy hurts. So tomorrow, I am going to call the doctor, and get my little one an appointment to see him. Right now, she is sound asleep in my bed. Poor baby. So while my baby sleeps, I am sitting here writing in my blog and watching my husband play The Sims. I took my oldest two shopping for their Valentine Parties. Sorry for no deep insights this time around. Deep insights only come once or twice a week for me, as you can see I have already reached my qouta.
LOL

Ch..Ch..Changes….

Changes. Everything in life changes, whether it be good or bad. It just does. Why does everything have to change? Why do people change? Why do I change? I have to find the answer to that question within my own self. But for every change there is a reason. There are things that a person doesn’t like about one’s self that another person would be attracted to that dislike. If someone doesn’t like what they look like they find a way to change. For instance, I don’t like my weight so what do I do. I try to loose weight. That is a change. A change in lifestyle. There are good changes there are bad changes.I am going to try to make the right choice in choosing the good changes. And if I have started changing towards the bad in certain areas of my life then I will start looking out in those areas and changing the bad into the good. You can change everyday and you still won’t be happy until you look inside yourself and find the One Person(God), who never changes but he can change you.
Deep insights,
Manda

Going Home….

Tonight I worked 3-11 this evening. My husband and I agreed on him picking me up at 11:30(which was fine with me). So I got off and I waited til 11:45 for him to pick me up. Well he didn’t show up. So one of his fellow officers was at Wal-Mart, so I asked him if he could give me a ride to the station and then I could call Wal-Mart and let them know that my ride would be waiting for me in the parking lot and to tell him that I was already waiting on him at work. Obviously they didn’t do it. Because when he got to the station, he was hot. I was trying to explain my case… but he didn’t want to hear it. Made me feel real low. I tried to tell him that I called Wal-Mart. I guess I should have stayed there and waiting. Now I am tired… and he is pissed off at me…. and I don’t know what to do.

What kind of cool are you?

I took a test today to see what kind of cool I was… It said that I was cool as ice. I have things under control.(it doesn’t know me all that well)LOL. It says that I am a thinker and a planner. I think things through before I act upon it. I look before I leap. The test results came back saying that I was full of good ideas, and I’ve got the ability to execute them. Also, it said that I was especially skilled at letting my head rule my heart. There’s nothing I won’t accomplish if I just set my mind to it. Now that’s cool.

Here is the link to check this test out. Tell me what kind of cool you are?
And you are????

Missing the Super Bowl

I should have asked for the day off but I didn’t. But I believe that I won’t miss all of the Spuer Bowl. I might be able to catch the last quarter(I hope). Besides, the last quarter is always the best part of the game anywayz(thats what I think anyhow). But we will probably be dead at work tonight do to the fact everyone is going to be watching the Super Bowl. I think the Eagles have a good shot at winning. I shall go with my gut feeling and say that the Eagles are going to win. We shall find out. Well time is up. I need to go get ready for work. I will be getting off at 9 o’clock and hopefully there will still be a game on. Later Taters! And GO EAGLES!!!
