Ditching these ruts (or at least trying too)

I am in such a rut. I hate ruts. I am in a rut in about every area of my life. The things about them is while they aren't necessarily bad - they aren't ever really good since that usually means there is no progression. How do you break free from your ruts? What is the one area of your life you are most rut-prone?

Marriage Mishaps

It was all I could do Sunday in RS to laugh outloud at our lesson. I was struggling because my husband & I had another arguement over a variety of issues. I was mad, hurt, & trying to figure out why he was being such a jerk. Lo & behold - it was brought to my attention that I was the jerk. Not persay in those terms but it was nonetheless made know to me what I should do to fix things between us. I loved being enlightened by the spirit.

In all reality though - marriage does have it's mishaps & moments where why we made a choice may not always be so clear. Why we do & continue to do stupid things in these important relationships that thwart what the Lord's intentions are for this sacred relationship. I am way overly critical & demanding of my husband & expect soo much from a man who gives so much & gets little in respect & praise from me. Why does everone else get my best & he get the leftovers? Why I expect him to do sooo much for me when I do so little for him? Why I feel he owes me?

Why is it I am back in 1st grade again all childlike in my demands? Why can't I just love & serve him the way I should & they way I promised I would.

Mishap - yes - rewriting the stroy from here on out - yes

A plug for Camp Fire

Local or not everyone needs to see if Camp Fire is in their community. The Tejas Council here in Central TX is amazing - partly because we are slowly working on turning the whole council to the gospel. I can dream, right. I just wanted to put a little plug here for Camp Fire - especially the Tejas Council - the Club Program & Youth Volunteer Center (since they are now the programs I am in charge of).

If you happen to read this & want more info on Camp Fire please e-mail me @ volunteers@campfiretejas.org

A little bit of everything

I am very mush missing the time I used to have to blog. I am always at work, in the car, or wishing I had 5 me minutes to spare instead of my list of things to do.

Work is going great & I love it & our family is making the adjustment well , but I didn't quite realized how "involved" this would require me to be. I have something going at least 2 times a week starting next week after hours.

Meanwhile - we are supposed to be catching up on bills with this new source of income, but my dh wants to blow it left & right. Now- I did agreee to the laptop which he got today & we are looing at getting away sometime soon but he keeps coming up with wants. ARGHHHH!

Anyhow,
must go now before I fall asleep

CampFire here I come...

Some of you may know & some of you may not but earlier this month I applied for a job for a job at CampFire. I had two interview which each went really well I felt & it seemed almost certain to me that I would get the job. I felt great about this since I really wanted the job, we need the $$, & they needed me. It seemed like a great job that would allow for some flexiblity - much needed with youg children, good $$, a great environment, fun & adult interaction , & soo much more.

I then came to the feeling that I would be okay with if I didn't get the job. I was very suprised by this as I really truly wanted the job & was pretty sure I'd be offereed the positon. I wasn't. Someone else was hired & though I was confused at all the feeling surrounding the situation - none of it made sense.

However, then came this nagging feeling that I would still get the job after I had learned I hadn't gotten it. I pushed it aside thinking that was crazy wishful thinking. It kept coming back. Out of the blue on Tuesday I got a phone call from my friend & one of the gals who works there asking if I was still interested in the job - I said yes & asked why - she said there had been some developments - she had my attention - she & her boss wanted me to come in to talk to them before 3pm if I was still interested. Everyone was asleep so I went right in. There had been some major confusion with the gal they hired on all that the job entailed so they went over the job responsiblities with me & I agreed that that was what I unserstood it to be. They said they would talk then & get back to me ASAP. I got a phone call a few hours later - they offered me the job, I accepted & tomorrow is my first day!

Did I mention I was excited?
