I DON'T HAVE A BRAIN TUMOR!

We still don't know what it is... but at least it isn't a tumor.  (Nick says "It's not a tuma" in the Arnold voice)

They told me i have a large hormonal gland ... what does that mean?  Is that the reason I NEED chocolate and cry all the time?  More tests to ensue...

HOUSE CLEANING CHALLENGE

I decided to time myself doing daily chores and then i will try to beat my time...

Taking the clothes out of the dryer, taking the clothes from the washer and placing them in the dryer, starting a new washing load and folding the clothes that came out of the dryer:

5:48

Unloading and loading the dishwasher:

2:27

BUT where do all the socks go?

My parents will tell you that MY socks are probably at the bottom of the sheets... but for REAL Nick's socks?  WHERE ARE YOU?

Rachel remember our book...

I am in a funk lately... I am cranky all the time... 

We are reading Crazy love in our Bible study right now and it is making me wonder if i am so cranky because i am not giving up the reigns to my life... because i am still trying to run it.  I know i jack things up but ... eh... i should read some more.  :)  P.s. it is SOOO good.   (also check out his sermons on youtube lukewarm and lovin' it)

When do you draw the line with a job you don't like?  Do i stay with it EVEN LONGER and say "This is just a phase" or do i stop and search here for something i love even though there might not be options right now.  I miss America.

I am going to go take my large hormonal gland and eat some of the chocolates i bought myself.  (Half off, thank you after Valentines sale)  Thank you Russel Stover for giving me a chart of what i am eating in your lovely box, i do enjoy it!  I have also become the annoying person who takes a bite of each and puts it back in the box :)  

Have a great day everyone!
