START OF A NEW WEEK
Well, the title of my blog is a day off, but, OH WELL, as they say, better late than never. I am sitting here at work thinking of all the things I have to do today and really don't want to. I am tired and am tired of being tired. Do you ever feel like you just want to sleep and sleep but know if you do you won't be able to sleep. Yep, thought I would confuse you early in the morning.
My life right now is challenging. I have so many feelings of confusion and wondering what God is doing. I know He loves me and loves my family, but I get very impatient when I pray for things and nothing happens. Syd said it is all in Gods timing, not ours. Well, just once I want it to be in my timing, hee hee. I know, I need to continue to trust in God and His promises to us. Ok, I get the point, BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD.
Do you ever argue with your husband and in the end think why are we doing this? Well, that was me last night and this morning. We went to the mall and there was a parking spot really close to the door. He drove right past it and went and parked farther away as he wanted to drive right through and not back in. I asked him why he did not park closer to the door. He said he wanted to park where he did. So I said, so you get your own way again. Well, let me tell you, an arguement broke out. Yes, over a parking spot. That is what is so stupid about it. Then he said, well, I see your point, but you can't see mine. What the heck does that have to do with him getting his own way? That is what I asked him and he did not have an answer. yikes, I hate this sometimes. I guess, I was a little on edge. I took the bus home from work, took my coat off and started supper. I was in the kitchen, he walks in, he takes his shoes off and goes and has a shower and sits on the couch till supper is ready. We eat, I do some of the dishes (he was back on the couch) then we went to the mall. We get home for the mall (fighting) and I start to do more dishes with Samantha helping me (he went back on the couch) I ask him why he is not helping us and he said there were already two people in the kitchen (as he was sitting on the couch) So only two people can do the dishes? Also, he said I was still mad at him and he did not want to be near me. hhmm..... So my whole point in this is I work all day and I would love to sit on the couch but I don't. He sees nothing wrong with coming home and doing nothing. And the only time he ever does anything is when I freak out. Ok, I feel much better now. Anyway, gotta get back to work. Chat with ya all tomorrow.

Hey Lorna,
Wow, we've had some doozy conversations that went very similar along those lines. We actually went through a bunch of counselling earlier this year, and one thing that totally helped us what a talk on EXPECTAIONS.
If we have unspoken expectations, it can get us (both of us) in a ton of hot water. Once you are able to talk about your expectations, and get them out in the open a couple of things happen. One, you get to say what your thinking. Two, you both get heard. Three, you get to discuss your expectations, and Four - youget to decide how to move forward.
Some of my expectations were valid, and some were ridiculous. We actually wrote our down, and then looked at them and went through one by one to see what made sense, where we each ahd to give a little, and which ones were goofy or not important.
We walked away from it all with a much cleare understanding of what each other felt and wanted, and had a great understanding of what we needed to do for and with each other.
Sorry I went so long. Love ya,

ok I was so going to say what Patti said!! J and I had the SAME fights..over parking spots..it would really drive me nuts when he didn't find the closest spot to the door!! uh yah I have learned to let that go...walking a few more feet will not hurt me but do me good....and it isn't an issue anymore! but examing our expectations was huge for us as well!
