Days like today....

Seems like today has been a rollercoaster of a day.  Ever have a day that feels like it was 2 weeks long?? That was today for me! 

I woke up this morning motivated and excited to finish my final exam for becoming an MT.  Yes.  Me. Finally finishing something and doing something right for what feels like the first time. I'm the "Queen of Good Intentions" and always mean well, but it doesn't always end up the way that I intend.  I manage to get myself in the tightest spots sometimes.  BUT. This time..I did it!  I finished Medical transcription school and turned in my final exam today.  Now the waiting game begins....2 weeks to find out if I passed.  PLEASE God, let me have passed on the first try.  I am so looking forward to being employed and on my own finally.  I'm thinking it might be a bit late for a last minute prayer... I don't guess He'll change any of my wrong answers to make me pass if I didn't to begin with...;)  I do feel pretty good about it and mostly am proud of myself for making it completely through. I gave it my all and I am proud of me. 

Then comes the rest of the day....seemed like from the getgo I was fighting my kids for their attention.  I swear...sometimes I wonder if their ears work...but then they seem to hear every negative remark their sibling makes to come tell me about so I'm sure they do.  Somehow they just have a "Momma filter" to block me out!  We're doing great on day 4 of our read the Bible every night goal, but I'm going to have to spice it up.  Somewhere along the last 2 years, we forgot how to sit still, be quiet, and have a family devotional time.  It'll come. It's just new.  Right?  I'm determined to work on respect, manners, and treating others the way you would like to be treated.  I'm reclaiming my household as a house that's center is God...and we'll get there.  A day and a prayer at a time.

On a good note, I DID find an AWESOME bill desk at Hobby Lobby that I have to have!  I have my eye on it and no one better get it before I can! 

Another new goal....finish every blog with 5 blessings from my day...so here goes.

1. I got to spend the day with Mike.  He makes things bearable. ;)
2. Hal and Bubba both came in and kissed and hugged me before going with Daddy to dinner.  It made me feel loved.
3. I finished my test today and felt pretty good about it.
4. My car fits in my garage...that was done the other day, but it's still cool...
5. I love my little yappy chihuahua.  If I'm ever feeling alone, he's never far away to love on me and make me smile.  Even though he can be a brat. LOL!
