So when my alarm went off this morning, I was made aware that my stomach was not in a good mood. It has been aching and cramping all morning. I don't know what is wrong...I think I might be dying....ha ha ha It is still rainy here, maybe my stomach was trying to tell me to take the day off.
People can be so confusing. I am sure most would say the same about me. But, the older I get the more I try to be understanding of others. Here's the problem with that: I can't understand what is not me...make sense? Actually that might have seemed a little self-centered/involved, but I think we are all that way. I think subconsciously, we all expect others to see every situation the way we do. However, when I take a look at my family, friends, social network, etc, I see a wide variety of political, religious and moral values. Somehow, I fit right in the middle. Isn't that a weird thought?!?! I once heard that we, as humans, are nothing more than the compilation on the positive influences of others. The older I get, the more I understand what that phrase means.
Age...No one ever prepared me for my late 20s. I have learned that there are different stages to life. There are the baby to kindergarten age. There's the elementary age, junior high, then high school. There's the college age, then the 20s hit. My early 20s seem like ages ago, my mid 20s seem a while back and I feel that my late 20s is cleaning up the mess that all the previous years caused. Do I dare wish for my 30s to get here, or does it just get worse?!?!?! ha ha ha
Well, I hope everyone has a fantastic day. I hope your stomach doesn't hurt like mine.... 'Til next time...Bye!

It's a rainy day here in the big city of Celina. I always have the hardest time peeling myself out of bed when I hear the rain falling on the roof. I was hoping that I would have recuperated from the weekend by this morning, but obviously, I have not.
This last weekend, my brother, sister and I sent my parents away for the weekend to celebrate their 35th anniversary. They went to a cabin in east Texas. It was fun being able to prepare the trip for them. Alyssa and I went grocery shopping on Friday night. We made sure they had food that they normally do not get since there are so many kids to buy groceries for. They left Saturday morning and came home Sunday night.
I "watched" the younger kids this weekend. I didn't stay at their house since my place is only a couple of blocks away. I wouldn't say that I had to keep a close eye on them, but the knowledge that I was responsible for 4 younger kids made my anxiety rise. Overall, it was a good weekend. I had the kids come over to my place for a while on Saturday. I had to clean my house, so I turned a movie on for them and cleaned around them. After church on Sunday, we went back to my parents house and had chili dogs. Afterwards, I rallied the troops to get in gear and clean my parents' house. I told them it would be their anniversary gift to my parents. It worked...we got it all cleaned within 3 hours. The power of teamwork!!!!
I want to get a big mug of hot cocoa, a good book and a blanket. Today would be a great day to relax while it pours outside. Try to stay awake and enjoy your day!

Nothing....
Ever have those days/weeks when it seems like nothing is really happening? That is where I have been the last week or so. I am grateful that I have finally slowed down, but it seems like now I have nothing to work on in my spare time. I can only clean my house so many times in one week. I can only cook enough food that I will eat before it goes bad. There are only so many movies I can watch before I go insane.
I have been doing some reading. I love the book I am reading, but I can't read too much of it at one time. I get so mentally exhausted from it. However, I am learning to view my relationship with God completely different. I am learning that I need to have an equally important relationship with God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I think too many times we don't think that a close relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit are as important. I know that a relationship with Jesus is mandatory for salvation. But, too many times we get saved and then we focus more of our attention on God the Father. I know I pretty much just push the Holy Spirit over to the "conscience" category. The book I am reading is teaching/reminding me that a real "human" relationship is needed with all three.
I am celebrating my one year anniversary here at the office this week. I can't believe it has been a whole year. I look back to who I was and where I was when I first started here and I see that God has brought me so far, both professionally and personally.
My sister and dad were in a wreck yesterday morning. Some guy didn't see the...IN A BIG SUBURBAN!!!! He pulled out and t-boned them. Poor Alyssa was so scared. Thankfully, they are both ok. I gave my dad a little grief for not calling me...I found out through a lady that works across the street from me. I have come to the conclusion that my family has very bad car karma -- if there is such a thing. I am sure State Farm hates seeing the name "Pevehouse" come across its desk.
Well, I am gonna get going...almost lunch time. Oh yeah, I think I have kinda stalled on Slim Fast. I still have a case in my fridge, but food is so comforting right now. Oddly, I think I have lost some weight being off Slim Fast. Hmmm...who'da thought?!?! Hope everyone has a great day! Take time to see God the Father, God in Jesus, And God's spirit...they are all there!
