Yup. Tomorrow is my birthday. I am humming happy birthday to me today! :) I love birthdays. I love my birthday, and anyone else's. I tell people about my birthday for weeks ahead of time, and then, even after the day is over, I still carry around this little 'glow' inside of me that I just turned a year older.
I love birthdays because it is the one day of the entire year that is dedicated just to YOU! And, you can talk about yourself all day, and it won't seem self centered, because, after all, this is the day that your mother brought you into this world. The day you made your grand debut to the world and everyone in it. Plus, I have the advantage of having a rare day to have a birthday on. Weird isn't it? How some days of the year have a lot of people that have their birthdays on that day. April 2nd for instance, I know of 4 people born on that day. And then you have my BIL + SIL who have the exact same bday. They are brother and sister, and their birthdays are on the same day, just 10 years apart. I'll never figure out how my MIL did that! :)
So anyway. Back to tomorrow. It's the 14th. My birthday. And I have absolutely nothing planned. I haven't even heard from my parents, as to whether or not they are coming to visit. Nada. Not a peep.
Nothing from my hubby either. But then, he'll wake me up, say happy birthday, and go off to work. He will come home empty handed, but blame it on our lack fo funds. Which he will be right about. But I'll still be disappointed. It's how it is every year.
But, that's ok. Because I am getting all my housework caught up today, so that tomorrow, on my special day, the day I first screamed out loud for the world to hear... I can sit on my rump and do nothing. I plan to be here on the computer or on my couch the whole day. Just because I can.
Well let's see... what else is happening in the kingdom of knee highs? I took all three children to a new doctor yesterday and today. H + J went to see her yesterday, and L went today. Dr. Maddie is very nice. She was very thorough with my children in their exams, and answered all questions I had very well. I think we're going to like her! That is a relief to me. I am still not happy about leaving the previous Doc, but you make due, right?
Hmmm... what else?? OH Yeah! My sponsor reached me by email last night, and she had just received my name in her in box! It's official! I am now a Big Yellow Box by Crayola (tm) Independent Consultant!! WOO HOO!! I'm so excited about this!! Now, if only my boxes would get here! LOL! Funny isn't it? I reach one point, and am anxious for the next step to already get here. Talk about impatient! I know Lord, I'm working on it. But do I have to work on it right now?? LOL!!
I have a few goals (moneywise) with this business:
First, I need to save enough to take with me on my Hearts at Home weekend.
Second, enough to pay my mom back the money she lent me way back when.
Third is all the little stuff that I always think, "Wish I could pick that up. Darnit. No money."
In order for this business to succeed, fully 10% of my profits need to be tithed. That will be the most difficult part of earning my own income.
I need to be able to make enough to offset the state help we'll be losing, and that will be really hard to save the amounts necessary if I'm giving 10% of it to the church! But I am confident that the Lord will make it work. In the Word, this is the only thing that the Lord says to test him on. Giving. Tithing. Alright, not another word about it!
Ok... Oh! H, my middle child and only son, is now 95% potty trained. He only wears a pullup to nap time and bed time, and is in big boy underwear the rest of the time!! Yay! This may seem like a small thing to someone without 3 small kids, but in the mommyland that I live in, this is a HUGE thing!!
Alrighty then! I am off to get some work done, so that tomorrow I can veg out and spend my day as I choose!
ps. Thank you to those who have sent email/made comments in regards to my last post. It really does help to know I am not alone in this. It also helps to know that every day is not a bad day!! Thanks for caring!
