im baaaaaack

well ive had me a new puter for two weeks this coming sunday.  also hubbys youngest daughter and her two year old son have moved in. she doesnt like me much so this should be interesting. im just going to pretend its all good for now, haha. in fact im glad she is here, im hoping maybe she can see that im not such a bad person and maybe we can reconnect.  her son is cute as can be and im also looking forward to bonding with him.  it will drive them crazy, but the gkids love me, lots, and for some reason hubs kids dont want me bonding too close with them.  they wont let them call me mammaw, but i call myself mamaw, so maybe he will start soon as well. 

 this week on my route i should have died, very surreal indeed.  got caught between a semi a brick wall and my lane ended. they was doing construction without a sign telling you the lane was ending and of course no one would let me over, so i ended up squeezing up next to the orange barrel hitting it slightly.  i know there wasnt enough room for me there but i survived.  i give credit to god.  i think he saved me, created some kind of miracle, cause really i think i should have died in that moment.  just too close and too freaky how it all happened. so thank you jesus, my love grows everyday  for you. 

well hubs is working overtime, i know he is exhausted, but usually when he gets overtime its because we will be needing extra money, so im curious to see who will be getting it, haha.  god is good, he has NEVER EVER let us down.  this past year is a perfect example.  this time last year, i was just bout over everything, hubby, life, etc etc. we was about to go under financailly because of trying to do that trucking thing that bout ruined us.  corey the guy we was doing it through robbed us blind and hubs wouldnt do anything about it. i lost alot of respect for him.  my two girls were both going through some bad times, was moving in and out, getting mad at me for who knows what, and life was just plain bad, bad, bad.

then god brought the route jobs around, i took over the bills, started paying tithes again, and now we only have debt on the house and the car.  it was amazing how god helped us get all that debt off our backs.  we dont have lots of money but we have enought to pay the bills, help the kids some and even have some left over. 

since i got my new job, and car, ive been drawing alot closer to god.  i have a cd player in the car now, so i got the bible on cd, and several other christian books, several christian bands cds, and found a GREAT christian music radio station. so i spend alot of time with god when im in my car.  its great, i have about five hours every evening that i drive, so i get alot more time with god than i was.  and i must say, yes life has become very good again.  im happy, im content, i feel like a new person.  me and hubs are getting closer again, so its all good right now.

later, aft hubs goes to work, i think im going to go out and buy some corn from the farmers market and freeze me up some good corn on the cob.  we bought a half beef, but we have eaten enough i think to have some room for corn.  there isnt much better than a good peice of farm fresh corn in the cold of winter.  im also going to do some tomatoes again.  i have plenty of green beans and corn to last a few more years, but didnt get much tomatoes done last year.  if anyone knows any good canning recipes or tips for tomatoe juice etc, let me know as im kinda new to this pressure canning thing.  hummmm, think i need to get me a new sieve, mine has some rust on it and i dont know if thats ok or not. 

well guess i should get to it, looks like a gorgeous day outside.  i need to get some laundry and cleaning done this weekend and the bills done.  my newest hobby is antiquing?  well actually going to yard sales junks stores etc. im very new to this so have quite a few peices now that i need to research to see how much i can get for them. my gson kal has gotton me into picking, hahaa, he is eight and i thought it would be a good way for him to learn about money.  him, his mom, and baby bro came and spent six weeks after school left out, then up one day and left and i havent seen him since, but ive now got the bug good.  me and him would watch american pickers and pawn stars on tv, and thats how it all got started, haha.  i have enough stuff that if i could figure out how to sell it i could actually make a fair profit.  i have several idea, just havent found the time to implement them yet.  i may end of taking them in for consignments, but i wanna make all the money myself, haha.

well, time to get going, it will be noon soon, and im a starved marven.  i have left over roast so want to make a stew out of it.  then make a meatloaf, and some steaks that i thawed out last week that really needs to get eaten.  have a great day diary, its so good to be back.
