I'm not real sure I want to continue taking him to the appointments. I keep praying for an answer, but so far I haven't gotten one. So I guess I keep doing what I'm doing till I get that answer.

I have had the Christmas shopping finished for a while, but I haven't gotten anything wrapped. I am hoping to lock the kids into a bedroom or something this afternoon so that I can get all that done! I hate waiting till the last minute.

I also have some baking that I need to get done, and I keep putting it off. We don't need all those calories in the house anyway!

Tina I don't know what is going on with your son or what you objecting to that is happening, but can you look for a different councilor? There are Christians ones, and that makes a huge difference....they are not swayed by the modern names or lables....and they don't jump on drugs as the answer to everything....

And I loved the gingerbread house and it collapsing is just the thing that would have happened to me. I taught my kids years ago, broke cookies taste just as good as whole ones. We would have rushed to it and started sampling just to make sure that broke tastes as good as whole, lol.

I posted the rest of this in the open forum of the fellowship hall and I id not get a response, so I put it here. As you can tell I am reaching out fr some help.

How do you know if you have forgiven someone?




If you forgive them does that mean you act as if nothing ever happened?
I mean if someone shot your dog out of meanness, you might forgive them but would you ever trust them around your dog again? If not does that mean you have not forgiven them?

Suppose you think you have forgiven but you really have not, how would you know?

Does forgiveness mean you have to associate and be friends with someone that has a personality that just irritates you?

I know these are very childish questions but I really need some answers.

My mom would yell and beat and call me names, I choose to keep away from her and ftry not to let her spend much time with grandbaby. I do not want him to experiance what I did. Does that mean I have not forgiven her?

(a few minutes later) someone did answer I suppose I was too impatient. and his answer made a lot of sense.

Forgivness means you feel better and you turn it over to God, but that has nothing to do with trust or future relationships....keeping your mother at arms length seems healthy to me....toxic people are not good to have in our lives and you really have to limit the amount of time you spend with them, and by all means you need to protect the children....has your mom ever apoligised or taken any responsiblitly, has she changed...forgive does not mean you have to forgot and not forgetting is sometimes wise...

I am hoping too you will get this all behind you and you can be settled again!

Happy Tuesday all....had hubby in the ER yesterday getting his hand re-stitched.

It was a mess, and not healing...so we spent a good 4 hours in there but it was worth ever minute because it looked 100% better when doc was done! It was more painful than the first time, but it will heal now!

Bad part is he can't work because everytime he uses that hand it puts pressure on those stitches...so he is in the shop today putting away fittings and doing what he can one handed!

It is RAINING.....big surprise!~

How is everyone else today?

Oh, poor thing! I'm sorry to hear this, but glad to know it will heal properly now.

I am going grocery shopping today...hate it, but it must be done. Our third boy has a Christmas program tonight and then we have another showing on our house this evening. So, I'll tidy up and mop the floors in a bit.

Good morning

I got up this morning, did my devotional, did part of my exercisees for today, and then baby came. So I freshened up and baby and I went to get groceries. Now we are back and nstead of putting my exercise clothes back on I sit here and type. I examined my motives and I know that I am not putting my exercise clothes back on because then I will have to finish the workout.

My grocery store has the nicest people working there. I have told the manager several times how nice the workers are. It is a pleasure to shop there. It is hard to shop with an active 2 yr. old and they seem to go out of there way to make it a little easier for me.

Today I need to take care of baby, finish my workout, straighten house a bit, cook supper for dh, I will have a salad, and then get ready for church tonight.


Hope all of you have a wonderful day

I'm supposed to be making Christmas candies today.... but I've been busy getting other things done so I haven't gotten around to it yet. I have way to much to do to be sitting here... but here I sit anyway!

I need motivation to get to work.... lol

I'm cleaning my desk off of all the things I need to get done before I take off and checking in here in between!
