Middle daughter is debating job? school? both????

Posted by m j on 2008-Jul-25 at 12:31

Our middle daughter is debating over a job offer and college or just straight college.   For all our girls we offer them a full ride to college , books , all cost, a car, gas, medical & car insurance , spending money , we do it all like we do now.  The only difference is they have to live at home while they go to school, or board at a far school.  They car work part time where dad and I agree they can for mad money, but they are just to focus on school.   Well, Shayna has a great job offer starting off at $10 -$12 an hour with insurance, 401k, retirement and more.  She will still live at home and we will support her still, minus medical insurance ( she has to be in school for 12 units for ours to cover her) and she can go to college at night.

Shayna wants to open a cafe.  So she would be going to school for that and her art as well as her veterinary.  So now she has a choice to make this job where she could just keep advancing year after year and school or just straight school and open her cafe and sell her art there.  The veterinary is just because she is good at it and loves it(she already has college classes in this from high school) , and well it is good to fall back on if she ever needed to.

We tell her what ever she decides is fine, we will support her 100%.

We are praying over this to see what God has to say.

P.s. the joke on dad went good I will tell you all about Mr. Grump Gills (the fish's name)and dad later , also about his wife they are trying to talk us into buying!!!  Some times I wonder if they are Moses, every needs a mate!     LOL.  Help me!!!

God Bless all, mj

 

Taking a bloggy break

Posted by Kitty on Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 11:03 PM

This blog has been a real God send to me. I love each and every one of you  that visit me. I feel as though we are good friends that I can share anything with. With that said, I must confess that I am having some personal issues in my life right now. My mom is haivng her good days and her bad days. I have hospice coming in several days each week now. All the court issues have been taken care of as of last Wednesday, so now I have full power of attorney over her, I guess you can say, Life.  Now I have to make some serious decissions that I really don't think I'm ready to make. And to top all of this off, my dh tells me that he is no longer happy and is thinking along the lines of divorce.

   I try to post uplifting, helpful, and homesteady post, but I can honestly say that I feel as though I am a fake here.  I don't like being  the type to bring others down with my problems so I tend to keep alot locked inside, which isn't really good for your health. This is probably why a couple of weeks ago when I went for my 6 month checkup the doctor had to put me on high blood presure meds. Hummm wonder why, LOL.

   So now that you know I'm a big faker, and that my life is not as shiney as I tend to lead on, I feel I need to take a little break for now. I'm not sure how long, I may  post more often than I think I will  right now, but just in case, I  wanted to let you all know that if I don't blog for a while, it's cuz I'm off  dealin with "Life".         Love you all........God bless

A Hubby Tag

Posted by Abundant Blessings Farm on Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 11:24 in Thoughts

As you all know, one of my most favoritest subjects to blog about is my Honey. Well, I found this hubby tag over at Jen Ig's blog

Here goes....

1. Who is your man? Tobias aka Toby aka My Honey

2. How long have you been together? First date- 12 days shy of 19 years. Married, 17 years, 6 months and 20 days (yep, we still say Happy Anniversary every month on the 5th)

3. How long dated? 1 year, 5 months (we married on the same date as our first date, the 5th)

4. How old is your man? 47 (9 years older than me)...but in my eyes, 28

5. Who eats more? I'd like to say him...but lately, he's not had too much of an appetite...

6. Who said "I love you" first? ME...I was in love the first time I saw him...even moreso the first time we talked...and oh my, the first time we kissed, well let's just say, I knew it!

7. Who is taller? Definitely him....poor guy has to bend over to kiss me..and let me tell you, he spends a good deal of time bent over doing just that ...or I find a stool and he doesn't have to do that...

8. Who sings better? Again, definitely him. Love his voice!!!!

9. Who is smarter? Once again, definitely him. He's the most well read person I know.

10. Whose temper is worse? Depends on the situation.

11. Who does the laundry? Since I'm the wife, ME!

12. Who takes out the garbage? That's a man's job (unless, of course, your Honey works till early morning and you are letting him sleep in)

13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I never know which way you'd be looking...from the end of the bed...Honey.

14. Who pays the bills?  Well, he makes the money, I send it off to pay the bills

15. Who is better with the computer? Depends on what we are doing....some things, me, other things him.

16. Who mows the lawn? Again, this is a man's job..and my man just happens to love to cut grass. Or he weedeats while Thomas mows.

17. Who cooks dinner? Hmmm....why are these jobs not easily defined? Me, of course, I'm the wife, remember?!

18. Who drives when you are together? Honey mostly. Unless he's tired or just wants to take in the scenery.

19. Who pays when you go out? Well, again, he makes the money, I spend it.

20. Who is most stubborn? Depends on the topic

21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Most definitely Honey. He's so quick to apologize it's not even funny.

22. Whose parents do you see the most? Mine..they like to come live in our front yard. We LOVE it when they do that!!!

23. Who kissed who first? In my dreams, me....in reality, him.

24. Who asked who out? Well, our first date started out as just two friends going to a new mall together...then we went to lunch together. Then we went back to get his truck...and the most awesomest kiss ever took place...then he asked me out to the movies... So officially, Honey.

25. Who proposed? I would have proposed a month after our first date, if not sooner. But, that's the man's job (again with the not knowing of the jobs...), so I patiently waited for him to do so.

26. Who is more sensitive? Depends on the subject. Overall, me, but there's such a sensitive soul inside my Honey that most people have no clue is there.

27. Who has more friends? Me, only because I have more time and don't have a job to go every day. My favoritest friend is my Honey.

28. Who has more siblings? Tie...I have two brothers, he has a sister and a  step brother

29. Who wears the pants in the family? We both wear pants...but the "pants of the family" goes to Honey, as it should!

30. How did you meet? On the phone first...I worked at a Firestone store, he worked at a parts store. I loved talking to him on the phone. Once I found out he wasn't already taken, I was quite excited to meet him in person at the store one day. Then we spent time together at church. So, we always say we met at work and church. Isn't God great?!

Well, that was fun!!!
