If Wishes Came True

So I'm sitting here at Sophie and Ruthie Belle's Upward Cheer practice getting my thoughts together.  Actually, I just finished signing up for my leader shifts at our upcoming Searcy's Rhea Lana children's consignment event.  I wish I could work more, but I'm happy to have gotten 4 shifts pinned down.  This will be the first time I don't take my2sweets there as a vendor, but it's actually all good!  I decided last sale that it was time to say goodbye to the booth and hello to being a more active part of the Searcy Rhea Lana team.  I am SO excited to be doing that!  They girls are so great there.  Kristie has always opened her arms to me and taken such good care of me and my stuff, not to mention she is a repeat customer ;)  All, ALL of the ladies there are wonderful Christian women and I can't wait to get to know even more of them at the upcoming sale. 

My two new jobs are about to kick my rear, y'all.  I never imagined taking care of 2 and 3 year olds would be so exhausting...how stupid of me, right?  Yep.  I know it.  I thought it would be just like babysitting, but it's much more.  You're a backup mommy, a referee, a bathroom monitor, a nurse, a story-teller, a maid, a waitress...and SO much more, lol (yes, you can laugh out loud if you want!).  But, I'm surviving.  In all honesty, I do miss medical transcription.  I miss the learning aspect of it.  I learned something almost every day and the field changes so much.  I can only imagine how much I've missed being out of the field for almost a month now.  A part of me wants to get back into it, but for now I'm focusing on the tasks at hand.  MDO is my career for now. 

And sewing...

I learned a new pattern today and it was hard!  I'm glad I finally figured it out.  I actually tweaked it to make an alternate style, which I am proud of!  I'm hoping it will make a great addtion to the clothes I already make.  Can I tell you a little secret?  Please, don't laugh because I am as serious as can be here.  It would be a dream come true if I was able to make sewing my full time job, one that actually brings in an income that would match what I make at MDO or even more!  I think it's okay for a girl (or boy) to dream, don't you?  Besides, sometimes God lets those dreams come true if it's His will.  So who knows...maybe one day my2sweets WILL be my REAL job :)  I'm praying!

Brand Spankin New Chapter in My Life

Where do I even start?  It's been two years since my last entry and wow, so much has changed in my life.  I guess I'll just start where my ADHD mind will take me and the first thing that comes to mind is this...I joined our local 10 Fitness gym not too long after my last entry.  I made new friends there, friends who I'd gone to church with for years, but new friendships with them.  After being at the gym a few times together my friend, Mandy, became my first ever gym partner.  Boy, we kicked it good.  We split the use of a personal trainer for about six months and then took on the training ourselves.  It was awesome to say the least!  But to explain that, I'll have to take you back to a much earlier time in my life...a time that was dark and quite frankly scary.  You can stop reading now if you want, or if you choose to go further, I want to warn you...I'm going to reveal some dark secrets from my past, secrets that I don't take lightly, but...

Waiting...Learning...Loving

I can't express how blessed I feel to be able to have my days free of medical transcription, y'all.  Every morning when I return from school drop off I have time to sit down and actually read my bible...not just a chapter, two if I'm lucky, but actually read and study .  There's even a new passion to do my Sunday School "homework" whereas before I just plain ole didn't do it.  I'm in Romans right now and it's almost like I'm reading it for the first time even though I've read it hundreds of times over the years.  I'm working on my third entire consecutive read-through of the bible.  When I finish reading it all the way through I just start over and do it again.  I want to keep God's word fresh in my mind and forever in my heart.  There may come a day, sadly, when in America it's illegal to keep a bible or perhaps all bibles will be destroyed.  I want to have as many verses and scriptures stored safely in my heart where no one ...

Seasons Change

It's been 10 months since my last entry and I have to wonder why...why has it been so long?  Maybe it's because life just gets so busy that I really can't find the time to sit down and type for pure release.  Yes, my regular job is a typing job, one that I've been doing for 20 years come this May (except I took a year off to sew my oats and work at Mother's Day Out and help my awesome husband with his home inspection business), but all in all, I've been typing over half my life now!  It's a job, so there are days when I literally hate to sit down at this computer and put my Beats on.  And, depending on what doctor comes up first thing in my morning, I'm either ready to snap someone's neck or I can actually squeeze out a little smile on my face because it's not a fast talker, foreign talker, food eater while he/she dictates, one who won't correct their obvious mistakes while talking...I can go on and on here.  But, the point was to emphasize h...
