Saturday nights

I remember when I used to go out on Saturday nights. I loved dancing until I dropped. I assumed I would always want to do that.

It is Saturday night. I'm on my computer blogging while I listen to my 10 month old sleep. I like the security of my house, hanging with my kids watching Nickelodeon and Disney. I don't want to be somewhere else. I don't want to sound like a hypocrite because once in a blue moon I would like a girls night. But I think it's misunderstood. I don't want a go out until the sun comes up GNO, I want dinner and laughter and bonding with females who I can relate to and express things to them that my husband just doesn't get. I found out recently that most of the people I associate with don't want to do that. I did however find out most recently that one friend in particular wants all the same things I do on ANY night of the week.We both prefer lunch with the girls instead of dinner, we prefer to spend Friday nights with our husbands and our kids. We both find spending time with our children is one of the most wonderful and fun things to do. Even when we are pulling our hair out because of them! I love that this friend knows that I want to drink coffee or tea just as much as she does :) We both live to have a deep relationship with Jesus and make that a top priority in our homes as an example to our children. The most wonderful similarity I have found out about this friend is we both want to be at home with our children . We think staying at home is what is best for our family unit . I really think that has helped shaped me into who I am recently. I really love it. I really do.


Dearest Michelle, Thanks for being you. Our long chat on Friday was exactly what I needed. 

I am an old soul and I'm okay with that.

    I'm the same way. I don't have hubby or kids, but as I get older, going to bars and clubs and staying out late get less appealing. We're coming up on 30 now! TV sounds much better than going to loud, crowded bars. Problem with lunch dates is my friends are moving away or have families now. No time for Laura.

Sometimes its more than just a roof.

 12/13/2022 When we send texts, make calls, answer emails, etc.  We think what a miniscule interaction it is to us and the person on the other end of the line.  The simple error of a calling someone the wrong name, is not simple.  The assumption that this wrong name doesn't hold so many emotions, good bad and ugly. I have always been lucky enough to be happy with my name.  I am lucky enough to be happy with the gender I was assigned at birth. I am lucky enough to be in a safe relationship. I am lucky enough.      Today, I asked someone if they wanted any information about a product my company is offering to current and previous customers. Simple customer service, right?      The person at the other end of the simple text I sent, was covered with emotions of trauma and experiences I will never know or understand. I would've never known. I am so glad they addressed it. I was speaking to someone and addressing them by their abusers nam...

Happy Valentines Day! and some tips too

Just some ideas for a fantastic and budget friendly Valentines Day! 1. Buy roses at the grocery store instead of a florist. They make great arrangements for great prices! 2. Order a heart shaped pizza from Donatos . I heard Papa Johns is doing the same thing this year!! Take your pick, the hubs and I look forward to a heart shaped from Donatos Pizza every year. 3 . Rent a movie and snuggle on the couch and make home made popcorn. Cheaper than one movie ticket and more romantic too! 4. Make a romantic dinner at home. Spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad is cheap and delicious! Present it with heart shaped plates and red napkins. 5. This is the most important tip!! Make sure to tell the person you are spending the holiday with how much they mean to you! At the end of the day, all I really wanted was an extra special I love you and to know I am loved. I really hope I didn't gross you single people out too much! But if so.. I have a great idea that sounds like A  LOT ...

Pollyanna syndrome

My mom has always said she likes to find the good in people, similar to Pollyanna. Whether she likes it or not, it's not always a good quality to have. She always told me I wear my heart on my sleeve, another quality that isn't always a good one. Seems pretty negative to disagree with her wanting to find the good or people or loving everyone regardless of their actions but let me finish. She recently learned that it is sometimes hard or impossible to find the good in people, including the ones she loves...like ALOT.  She and a few others recently dealt with a pretty heavy situation involving people they love and the outcome wasn't pretty. It was quite ugly! Not the first time my family has dealt with some ugly situations but it affected someone that has NEVER  put herself first and always done what is right regardless of the situation. Back to my point I am trying to make..when someone lives their life always finding the good and overlooking the truth behind the good..it ca...
