I have been reading the book "Heaven is Here" by Stephanie Nielson. http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Is-Here-Incredible-Everyday/dp/1401341799. She is truly so inspiring. As I sit and read it just makes me want to be better. I want to be a better mom, wife, sister, daughter.
I have had a rough few weeks, we decided that we were going to add on to our house. So easy right, well we drew up the plans and were approved for the loan everything was just falling into place until..... we had the survey done. The survey man dressed in his scary back pack started from our fence line and walked down the property then got to our other fence line and kept walking down our neighbors fence line, and kept walking and walking until he was 84 feet past our fence. hmmm the only thing Jeremy and I could think was, well there is our missing property. We always knew we were missing a little property, but not .51 acres. As soon as the neighbor saw the big orange stick in his yard he came over and the neighbor war has begun. Of course we live next to the most dishonest man in town. Just our luck.
Friday I was washing my hands after a long day of shopping in town and my wedding ring is gone. My beautiful ring that I just love is not on my finger. I want to cry, but I tell myself its in the kitchen or its on my night stand. Okay not in those places so it has to be in the car, in the couch, under the couch, the washing machine, the dryer. Ugh its no where to be found. Mothers day was coming up so Jeremy must have taken it off my finger while I was sleeping and is going to have it cleaned and engraved on. NOPE! Its gone.
The guy in charge of the building permits wont call us back, the kids just cry all day, we will never have enough money, why do the kids cry so much, need to make lunch, need to make dinner. UGH I just want to go to bed.
Okay so I found that my life is turning into a just not fair nothing goes our way type life and I am reading this book. All the things that I get so annoyed with and want to stop, this amazing woman in the book just wants to be able to do it. She wants to hug her crying child, do the dishes, make lunch and dinner. Bath her kids, do the laundry, pay their bills and deal with the un happy neighbors. And I just complain.
I am going to be better, I am so blessed to have my babies and a perfect working body. I can walk and run. My ring is just a ring, I am going to be better. I highly recommend this book to everyone. You will laugh and you will cry. Its just a great book. My baby is crying, I think she is getting teeth. I better go, but I havent posted in awhile so here are a few pics.
