Cabin Fever

I think the hardest part about this whole deal is staying at home. I get so bored...and so tired of being at home all day long. It helps when people come to visit and break up the monotony of it. Good thing this is temporary!! Natalie brought me some awesome thai basil...my last hurrah before embracing this whole paleo world. Jenee brought some soup over which was a huge blessing. Sean even packed it for his lunch the next day. Erica and malachai came over twice. The first time they just hung out. Malachai read some Miley Cyrus magazines and then fell asleep on the couch. The second time they took me to Trader Joe's. My mom and grandma stopped by and dropped off some decaf coffee for me. And my mother in law is making fajitas for my lunch today. I cant wait to cook again. Hopefully my husband will let me soon. He doesn't want me to do anything...ever. I told him that women go through this kind of surgery all the time (c-section) and they have babies to take care of when they get home! Oh well...I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Today Sean left for work and told me that I needed to spend some time in prayer this morning. I had shared with him that I felt like I was wasting my days and that for whatever reason I have not spent any time seeking God during my time at home. That is probably contributing to why I am so annoyed at staying home! So I did...and it helped. I definitely feel better today.

There is a storm raging outside. I love it! Probably because we still have power. And I don't have to be out in it. But to be honest with you...I probably would love to be out in it. I love windy stormy weather. I love bundling up in sweaters, boots, scarves, jackets, and hats and being in the weather.

I called my work today. I am trying to figure out a day when I can go back. My doctor said that I can go back after 2 weeks but I can do no heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks. I am anxious to talk to my manager about when I can come back. I guess I just want a start date so that I can have a goal to look forward.

Yesterday was the first day that I actually felt like the pain has gotten better. When I am laying down I get this false sense of no pain. Then when I stand up it hurts. But it is definitely tolerable.

This was kinda a mishmash of subjects...If you read it all the way through I am proud of you!!

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su...

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t...

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte...
