A Need To Process Our Experiences

[Joyandpeace]

Okay, serious question: I honestly do consider you guys to be family. It's something that just sort of developed through the years, and it does feel that way to me.

Does anyone else feel that way?

Absolutely!
I miss you all when I go out of town - seriously I do!

MSGP - just saw your character and I laughed out loud!
Not at all what I pictured!
It is really cute but it reminds me of something!
You look like the LDS guys that come to my door!

Starr

Starr - I'm up to page 9 on this thread and I'm sure hoping to read a good report on your family's health before I'm at the end of this thread! Praying for you dear sister!

My brother said "I just witnessed a duck suicide." Oh my goodness I was so excited that I actually got a duck I didn't care! We could leave and go home finally.

So we all walked up towards the house, my Dad and brother with their arms full of their limit and me with my one Mallard death by suicide duck.

Luv - that's hilarious.

It is so much fun to come in a read these posts all at one time. You guys just crack me up.

Just processing a vent for a moment.

The ex wants $207/month from me to pay D's auto insurance.

I don't have enough to get by as it is. For pity's sake...

I just don't have it. I don't know what D is going to do.

Still reading so this may be answered later.
What did you end up doing J?
What other expenses does D have that your ex is paying for? I mean is this the only one he is paying?

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!

I loved that!
Beautiful!

I ordered some landscaping yesterday. 2 white hydrangeas, a raspberry peony, and a flowering almond. I had a $25 coupon, and it cost me almost nothing.

I can't wait to plant it all. The front of my house is bare. It feels weird, because I have all these lovely garden areas along the side and in the back of the house, and all there is out front is mulch, whiterock, and some decorative flagstone in the mulch.

I need to winterize this place soon.

What would you suggest I plant as a fall/winter flowering plant here in Louisiana???

Anybody else have ideas too?

My mom may have some ideas since she used to plant flowers and shrubs for years down there in our yards.
Also don't forget to ask Mamabear56!!

 

[Joyandpeace]

Okay, I'm here to process my processing of the possibility of losing my job and how happy and giddy that makes me feel.

I'm most likely going to process on my own since no one else is here to process with me.

Where are you all?? Are you going to tell me you have a life outside of me?? LOL

Okay, I give up...going to praise my H for his first successful bow n arrow deer hunt and then go to bed.

Love you all and see you tomorrow!
