• Fashion Tip Friday ~

  Please, can I just complain today? Please?

  I want to complain about……
  the 2 inch hole that no one cut into the new role of paper towels I just opened.

  and

  the 29-31 glasses that have been being used in between dinner and morning each day this week.
  {I think I have a solution…I will share next week if it works!}

  and

  how on accident I wasn’t thinking and waaaaaay over tipped the girl who cut my hair.
  (As a former waitress from Chicago, I already tip BIG!  You Want Jeff and I to eat dinner at your table.)
  I’ll tell ya though…she was HaPpY! So I guess it’s ok.

  {and she made my hair straight for the day, but it feels weird because I’m so used to curls}

  

  continuing on with my complaining…..

  there has been cat piles in my herb garden, next to our wood pile, in my mulch, in my yard all week long!
  I am NOT a cat lover (sorry family and friends who love cats, but you already know me and know my ocd……=)
  and this makes me super, super, super, super, SUPER, SUPER MAD!!!

  and

  why can’t anyone remember to flush the toilet?

  and

  I was cranky and disappointed because I thought my new window was going to be put in today and now it’s not. =(

  and

  why do Rice Krispies behave like CEMENT if you don’t immediately wash them out of a bowl?

  and

  I also don’t feel very Fashion-y today and have No runway advice except
  Don’t eat the cookie before bed!
  You’ll be sorry in the morning when you get dressed and your favorite skirt is a little snug around the waist.

  and

  I don’t like my attitude, but I feel much better now that I got it all out and you quietly listened to me
  without talking back or interrupting or pouting. (at least I didn’t see or hear you!)

  How do they come up with this stuff???

  

  and you know what???
  Nothing of what I complained about here matters in eternity. and I have much to be thankful for.
  But sometimes, SOMETIMES, I just let it all get to me even though I shouldn’t.

  When my heart is right before God, I respond differently. I think differently. I don’t say things like….
  “I am Not Alice and you are not the Brady kids.” 
  I handle my crazy days in a much better frame of heart and mind.

  As moms, we need to be in constant prayer. We can’t parent or teach our children on our own.
  There is a battle going on, a battle we can’t see. A spiritual battle.

  And when we let our guard down, that is when the enemy attacks! and he attacks hard! and he attacks fast!
  and when I think of it that way, and I think of our family being under attack it gets me angry.
  A righteous anger. and I want to stand up to the enemy and shout…..

  “Stay Away!” But it’s my attitude, my heart that allows him in.
  We need to stick together as a family. We need to fight together.
  Constant prayer. Grace. Mercy. God’s word. It’s the only way we will make it through this life. =)

  Happy Friday everyone. Enjoy your weekend.
