That is the LAST thing you want to do! I know that when I get angry, I tend to think of things on a scale of destruction. For instance, when I was angry about someone ticking me off, I would think of how I could probably use Nikon rifle scopes to get a bead on them and take them out. I thank God that my thought process has changed over the years of being able to renew my mind in the Word. I am not saying that the temptation to think those thoughts have completely ceased, but I know that I can change those thoughts and maybe even preempt them with a thought on how I can pray for the person or people who are making me feel that way.

I have had the …well … not so much a privilege as a dreaded witnessing of an event… in which there was a multicar accident on the opposite side of the road. I saw bodybags, air ambulance service, and metal twisted fiery carnage. It was horrific! We watch these things on television all the time, but they don’t affect us like they do in real life. You want to turn away, but you can’t. The images become emblazoned on your heart. I prayed so much that day for the people involved, the families of the people who were deceased, and I just prayed that those things would not come to pass for our family or friends. These are the scary things that are beyond our control.

Yes he finally decided to actually get his hair cut last night. So now he has something similar to the very first real haircut he ever received from his father. It’s cute. I would rather him have some curlies still on top than to be nearly bald like the 2nd time he got his hair cut. Case in point:

FIRST:

SECOND:

I am happy to say he now looks like an older version of the first haircut. Lovely!

I lived in Queens for 2 years, technically. It was such an on and off thing… but anyway.. What, if anything, do I miss from Queens that I don’t get here in Long Island?

Well, I can tell you, I don’t miss looking outside seeing projects and steel buildings, but I DO miss the shunting of the subway. I miss the smell of the ocean and the bay. I miss jumping on the train to go places so we didn’t have to drive. I don’t miss the 2 1/2 hour ride to church, though. I don’t miss the crazy train schedule where most things are closed late at night and we end up having adventures just to find a way home. The train in the spring is much better than in the winter. I REALLY don’t miss the place we lived in Queens. I adore where we live now. But, if you were to compare NY overall to NJ where I am from, the list would change significantly.

Even after a hard day’s work, he will still come home and help me He will still come home, tired as he is, and get me something to eat if I want a snack. He will still do dishes so I don’t have to do them AGAIN. He will get me a drink if he thinks I am thirsty. He is so sweeeeet!!!!! I adore him more and more every day we live together on this earth. He has brought such joy to my life and I can’t even fathom how I ever lived without him.

They are having a luncheon and I’m not going, so no homemakers today. Seems weird not to be there on a Wednesday. I don’t know what I am going to do with myself to pass the time. I have laundry to fold, things to clean, and a few papers to fill out, phone calls to make…but it won’t be the same!!!! I <3 Homemakers
