I haven't blogged much lately. I keep thinking that I don't really know what to blog about. I feel like I live a boring life. Ok, so it isn't really boring but I feel like I do the same stupid stuff day after day. Wake up, try to become coherent for the next two hours, do some dishes, put in a load of laundry, get Jillian dressed, switch laundry over, take a shower clean something else in the house, get ready for work, go to work.
Day in day out it is the same. Really though there are changes in my day. Yesterday I got the chance to babysit for my cousin. She is moving up to this area from Ferron and is looking for a place to rent or buy. I keep hoping that she moves into our neighborhood. I love living close to family.
Then, as Sharla was leaving my sister Dione came to visit for the rest of the week. I love having visitors. i don't really think that I am a very good hostess though. I never know what to make for lunch. It ends up being a hodge podge mess instead of making people feel like they are well fed. i think I am going to work on this. It is so nice to have Dione here though. She is one of my best friends and we have seen each other through so much. She is unfortunately moving to New Mexico and I won't get the chance to see her very much any more.
Life changes can be so hard and yet just part of life. I have reflected on this much lately as 2 of my closest friends (Dione, and Lourdes) have recently moved, and then today is also the 1 year anniversary of the passing of another of my close friends Linda. Time goes by regardless of the various circumstances. We lose people we love but life keeps ticking by. At least I can still talk to Dione and Lourdes. Distance makes things harder but it doesn't stop communication. Death on the other hand does change things. I pray for my friend's children often as I think about the many things that will be missed. Baptisms, weddings, births, hardships, and no mom to help and see them through all of the good and the bad. I know the Lord has a plan though. Otherwise, this life would be for nothing. Why keep living if there wasn't a grand divine purpose to everything we do.
Anyway, back to the mundane. I work tonight. I guess this is the new normal for me. Tonight I get to squeegee floors, clean out hot dog bins, and serve a lot of pizza, but life is good because I have the blessing of a job. Up next on my list of new blog topics? How to clean a toilet. :o)
