ok now for the big one.... i'm going to be published! Scrapbook Answers has asked for one of my cheerleading layouts. i got the email this moring and still haven't stop crying! i knew it word happen... (ok no i didn't but it did!) totally excited. you all better get you copy fast cause i'm buying them all! lol

good morning bloggers....
today i come bearing my soul, if you think you might laugh, think funny of me, or just plain think i'm wierd, please don't read beyond this sentence. i know they only folks who read this are dear friends of family so here we go. went to church last night and i know that God told me to be there, "you are going to hear something you need to know" the sevice was directed at the "community" the community of praying believers. I know that i need to pray more than what i do, and saying have have no time is not an excuse for not spending time with God. well mid way through the service we do prayer (about 150 people up front of church shoulder to shoulder) sounds weird and oh so close but on the other hand, i had a feeling of warmth and compassion. pastor gives many things that the holy spirit is speaking to him about to pray for. we one of the was for feeling overwhelmed, depresssed. i felt my heart race, for the reason you may not know. over the last month or more, i have had such a feeling of sadness, depression, overwhelmed, and wondering why. well you may say "girl everyone goes through that, well what i have not told you is that i truely feel i have an anger problem, over what you ask EVERYTHING! my marriage, my job, my children, my parents, ok EVERYTHING! i know some days i want to much, so with this year i have tryed to set some REALISTIC goals for my self. i know alot of this stems from just a few main issues a couple i have no control over a few i do, and have never changed. i want so much to be just me, not hide behind mask and pretend! i need to before i make any changes, change how i feel about myself... just work with me i'm fat, don't care what i look like half the time, just low self esteem. i'm working on it, i have been eating right for about a week now and i start working out every monday - wednesday - friday with a personal trainer. i believe this is the only way i can become dedicated to doing the whole working out thing. pay for the service, don't show up they keep your money, and there is no make up class! i call that motivation. i will see. please don't pity or feel sorry for me i'm the one who has choosen to live this way. but i do ask that you pray for me. when i worked up the courage to raise my hand for that subject and to be prayed for i felt like a huge weight has been lifted from my sholders, like admiting i have something wrong with me is ok. well many tears later, and the drive home i was glad that i took my problem to God and know that it is in His hands, and i must have faith.

good morning!
well i just a jump start on my first night of changing .....
last night i got the living room and dining room DONE completely clean pine sol-ed, mopped, vaccumed, extras clean out and priced for the yard sale, boxed up and put into the garage. this took from 6-10.
in between i got tucker feed, bathed, played a game, and rocked to sleep, 2 loads of laundry, new southern living at home catalogs put into envelopes and ready to ship.
i'm tired!
i saw where one of the other girls on www.scrapncircle.com boards says she puts on her calander what room will be cleaned that night, with one load of laundry (if need be) this could be a great way to keep up?? i would just have to pick rooms on tuesday and thursday that will go quick, because of cheerleading (i don't get home till 7:30) i think i'm gonna give this a whirl, starting monday. i gonna work hard all week-end and get the clutter out (as melanie calls it) and start with fresh canvas (if you will). please let me know if you have other ideas? short of hiring a maid, i think this one might work.

what do you want for the new year ????
that is a big question. i have read several other blogs and seeing everyone making new years resolutions. me i NEVER stick to them, so why make them? so what i have decided to make a list of things in my life that i know need improving on, and i'm going to keep a diary to record my feelings, and thoughts. ok ok i know another thing to keep up with, but hey i'm at cheer for 3 hours on tuesday and thursday i would hope i can keep it up. if you know me, ok know me well enough please chim in on the changes you think i should make. here are some of the first ones that i have thought of..
1. be less of a pack rat ( SIMPLICITY - clear out the things i don't use or touch daily, and put a curve on impulsive buying, unless i'm in TARGET *wink)
2. to be a better wife, mother, friend, daughter, grand daughter ( with this it means more patience WHAT, realizing i need to live for today - it only happens once and you can't get it back, clearing my schedule for ME time)
3. scrapbook more for myself, not with the hope of being famous or even getting noticed. (heidi if you are reading this - (picking myself off the floor laughing) i still want to be on your dt and that statement does not apply to you *wink)
4. to be a great buisness woman, and make a living at it.
5. to leave my mark on this world.... ok small mark, but what is my purpose?

please help me, am i on the right track? i know you all will let me know.

well Christmas has been here and gone, the bull family made the trip to lawrence kansas to visit with my family, for the most part had a wonderful time. enjoyed being with my mom, we got to scrapbook, shop at TARGET and i think i have been banned from entering another TARGET for a while *wink (love you eric) when we entered i asked dh eric if i was on a short leash with money, girls he never answered, i think that means " honey you shop" then we get in there Christmas Eve (mind you) and he give me and mom 30 minute WHAT i can't even get to the Starbucks that's in there get a coffee and make it out of the card section in that time frame. so mom and i hurry 40 minutes and $100.00 later i think NO i know i'm in trouble! *wink have i mentioned I LOVE TARGET i think if we had one in fort snore sorry fort smith it would not be so tempting to go in one when i driving down the street. had a wonderful time Christmas morning tucker got her dog (stuffed) wiener dog "sweet pea" is her name! hey no dog food, and no mess. she never told santa that the dog had to be alive! *wink and of course we ate to much, and rested and then ate again. dh eric got to go hunting one day out on my brother jerod's land, he didn't get anything, but i think he had a wonderful time just being by himself and enjoying nature. got home last night about 9pm had to stop off at nannie and popo's house, got to spend about an hour with them (which is never enough time) got home didn't even up pack, i figured my suitcase has been packed every week-end this month so one more day will not hurt! *lol have so many things to get done over the next couple of weeks ... oh where will i find the time to get it all done, lack of sleep and starting 15 projects at one time will happen! (just a warning for eric) i think i will work full day's all this week, tucker is at ms angela's and just loves it there, so i will stay and make the paycheck alittle better, and try to get caught up on the year end stuff. well then why am i one here bloggin..... cause i can *wink!

our first bull family funeral will happen today in our backyard about 5:30. tucker lost her first pet on monday night (she was already in bed when dh eric noticed) that "hermi" had died. so last night before bed we had to tell her. we were just going to get another one and replace him, but i thought she should understand that things don't live forever. well she took it harder than i thought she would. so after she cried and eric and i explained how "hermi" was in heaven and that Jesus was taking care of him now. i think she was ok, went right to sleep. so we will be having services for hermi bull in the backyard tonight.
ok so i'm morbid i took a picture of "hermi" in his bag and thought i would take pictures of the funeral and grave site for a scrapbook page - morbid and yet a little wierd i know, but i thought she would like to remember the loss of her first pet.
