Now is the time to Wait for the answers
How many times do we make our own plans and then something changes and your not sure they are God's plans for us? We are at a crossroads, and I don't know which way is the right way? I feel like weeping for my children I have not yet met. Do we change agencies? Do we change countries? How does this all work out in the end?? I want to be 10 years older and look back and tell my past self which way is the best path to take, it doesn't have to be the easiest, just the best. Heartache fills my body, but God's grace is sufficient. As long as I can hold fast and tight to that, I will be okay.

Going Banana's
Banana's are yummy, but they are one of the first foods for babies. They are such an interesting food though. They are nice and green and crisp, and within days they are yellow or brown. So when you are feeding it to a baby, it does the exact same thing. It's nice and ripe for the mashing and looks and tastes great, until about an hour later when its all brown and starting to smell funny. Also if you don't rinse the bib right away, the banana seems to be a permanent fixture on the bib.
One thing I do not understand it why the baby-food makers make bananas? Are we that lazy as a society that we will pay sometimes 4 times the price for a banana in a plastic container already mashed for us for your babies? Really people is it that hard to put the banana in a dish and mash it for your child? If it is a convenience factor, you still don't have an excuse. It takes just as long to mash the banana as it does to walk from the kitchen to where you are feeding the child. Its called multi-tasking. I'm just sayin...

Morning Routine
My morning routing is designed to make me not lazy, and make me motivated to be productive for the day. When I start right, things move in a good direction. So what is my morning routine?
1. Make the bed
2. Kids milk
3. Enjoy a cup of coffee
4. Make breakfast
5. Check email/calendar
6. Drink a glass of water
7. Check my reminder daily journal for daily tasks
MMmm just thinking about the enjoyment of a cup of coffee makes me happy. I am usually watching some toddler cartoon while enjoying that cup, but that's okay.
My daily tasks are simple right now, just to start out and hopefully they will grow as I grow. For example, today is Monday, my calendar should say Home Time, and my reminder journal should tell me to change and take out all the garbage in the house and do a load of laundry. I have a load in the dryer now, and I need to get going on the garbage. That being said, I have things to do, and that all for now...

Seriously Folks
Why do people have to smoke around their children? I understand that you don't care about your own health, but these little bitty people do not have a choice, some of them can't even walk! I really dislike entering Walmart's parking lot. Too many stupid people. When you have a cigarette hangin out of your mouth you are automatically dumber in my opinion. Then when you add a kid in the equation, you are that much dumber. I mean seriously, a healthy airway is all the child asks for. And why are you at Walmart? probably for some cough medicine for your child because for some reason it has a recurring cough. Hmmm.. wonder where that comes from.

Routines
My evening routine makes me happy. I am not sure about why, but it does. Not while I am doing it, but in the morning when I wake up and can just push one button to make my coffee, and a clean sink. *Sigh* just thinking about it right now makes me at peace. Weird I know. So what is my evening routine?
1. I prepare my coffee maker with my coffee for the morning.
2. I clean my sink, and wipe down the kitchen counters.
3. I make my husbands lunch.
4. I fill my dog's bowls.
5. I prep my phone, whether that is putting it on charge or just turning it off.
6. I fill my water cup for the night.
Why do these specific things? To give "blessings" to each of my family members, even the dog. When I bless others it makes me feel good. That is the nature of life. I like the reward it gives. I am a sinful woman and I like making myself feel better about myself. But it also gives me peace so that I can sleep. Peace of mind that things are in order. Control is a struggle of mine, so calling it peace and order helps me think of it not in my control.
I have never been a person of routine, but I am loving and thriving on it. Am I just getting older? or have I just changed, like our taste buds are supposed to change every so often. Not sure which, but I like it. I have only been doing this set of routines for 2 weeks. I know 2 weeks is not a long time, but when I was first married for 2 weeks I wanted it to last for ever, I want this to last forever too. Not only for me, but I want to teach my children too. As long as they can be productive and happy with something like this, I want it to be a lesson they learn from me.
Thats all I got for now...
