Woke up this morning and didn't really know if I was going to church by myself or if TheTeen and Hubby were going with me. Hubby would not decide last night to tell me anything so I didn't know how to set my alarm or plan my morning. I woke up early anyway...at first very upset about the indecisiveness and wavering back and forth and lack of any commitment to make any plans this morning. I wasn't sure whether to cry, scream, or give up. But then I prayed and God pretty much just told me to get ready, plan to go to church, even if it meant going alone. God and I had decided that if I went alone I'd go to the 10:15 service and then go grab lunch at the favored shopping area and then go shopping to get the things I needed for birthdays, baby gifts, and thank you gifts. Well, I did not know anything until 9:10. It was decided that they would go with me at that point. I had not known as they were getting ready if they were going with me or not. I refused to ask since I had begged last night to know so I'd know what time I needed to get ready for this morning. Anyway, at 9:10 it became clear they were wanting to go with me. Well, I wasn't ready yet b/c I had already decided not to go to Sunday School...so I had to hurry to finish getting ready <steam coming out of my ears at this point>. I had to do my nails on the way. Hubby drove us up to the door to get out and neither TheTeen nor I got out <lol>. I was still doing my nails and TheTeen refused to go in by herself. Then I dropped and lost the finger nail polish and it fell behind the seat. Hubby finally got parked, I finally found the nail polish and finished my nails...we went into church and Hubby and I went into our Sunday school class 15 minutes late...and apologized for interrupting the class -<the class is in a conference room and everyone sits around a table>....well TheTeen kept standing out in the hallway...and the teacher said "did you need your parents?" She came in the class and said "I forgot where my class is"...so we managed to do a real class stopper today...as Hubby got up and took her to her class and then came back.
Once we finally got into class....it was very good. The Sunday School class is the best part...I get most from it. There seemed to be some controversy over the sermon though today. We were forewarned as the first service folks were in our class and our teacher was trying to describe how we should "take the sermon"...so I guess it was good we had Sunday School first. In church we sat in the same place we did last time (give a seat or two)....and there are people that sit near us named "Beverly and Joe". Beverly is very outgoing and easy to talk to. And so it was nice to sit close to them. I don't know why but sometimes I am not in the mood to talk and then sometimes I am not wanting to shut up. This morning...after the morning I had...I really just wanted to run and hide and not have to talk to anyone at all. I was still upset and seething over our huge communication issue and all the stubbornness surrounding church - including my own stubbornness - which of course is much less than everyone else's in my family. LOL
After church we came home, each ate something different for lunch....which I take it to be synonymous for the fact that we all have 3 different ideas for church and all wanted to be in about 3 different places....so why in the heck would any of us want the same thing for lunch? Staying with the theme, you know. LOL LOL LOL
So....after that we ALL needed something from the SHOPPING SPOT that we love so much...I'm going to call it Shopping Spot from now on. We went to Pet Smart...and they had adopt a dogs set up there....I had to go over and meet and greet each of the dogs. A Jack Russell terrier came up to me where I stood by the little fence. He reached up put his paws on me and looked up at me with those big brown eyes and I reached out to pet him and he smiled and closed his eyes with glee....I could not stop petting him. He was so sweet. Such a kind demeanor. I had to go get TheTeen and Hubby to come see him. He loved me. I loved him...but I had to leave him behind. But I have thought about him all day. No Auntie M.....not this time.....LOL Word is this dog and my dog would not like each other too well. Plus we don't need another pet. Sometimes I think I get along better with animals than I do people. LOL They don't talk back, they don't argue, they don't ask questions, they don't show stubborness (wellsometimes the cats do)....LOL
Then we went to the bookstore and bought TheTeen a book to read and also bought a preorder....for a book coming out in August. She is becoming quite the reader - especially since her PC time has been cut out.
Then we went and got the baby gift at Target....then we went to Kroger and got groceries and birthday gifts....steaks were on sale...so we got steak and salad for dinner tonight plus Hubby had some gourmet beans that he had bought on line....and he soaked those...they were great. It was a wonderful dinner.
I did manage to get about 4 boxes emptied and worked on the hall closet some to reorganize it since we bought shelves for it last weekend. I opened some nic nac boxes and began sitting some of those around. It's starting to look more homey now with those. Things are slowly starting to become completely set up. Hubby said "any time now we can start painting"...we'll get there eventually....I'm still trying to "bond" with the rooms and it eventually comes together in a vision in my head. A few more things I want to accomplish first. We probably need to have a few rounds of dinner parties first too. Because once we get all messed up painting....it takes a little while to get things back in order.
Well, I watered the plants really good outside...Hubby watered the side yard plants so that was nice...I got the garden and the back beds.....we got done a lot quicker that way.
Hubby has been working on setting up an aquarium downstairs this past week. He has everything ready but the fish. I think he's going to get those tomorrow. I'll take pictures of it tomorrow. Tomorrow I am hoping to really get some more boxes unpacked. It is at least....seeming to come together.....the boxes are fewer...but still coming. LOL
I'm going to bed...at least the day ended on much better note than it began.

I've come here via Mosie and am really enjoying your journal. It's so interesting for me to see the difference and sameness of life in other parts of our country. Thanks for sharing your life. Vicki

I would be the same way about the morning. I am a planner/scheduler and that would drive me crazy. My family does the same thing to me sometimes. Hang in there.
