stuff

I couldn't really think of what I wanted to title this. I don't really know why I felt that I had to title it. Basically I just thougth that I would ramble on a bit. I'm at a standstill with things here at work. I have bulletins I need to do for our Good Friday service and I have bulletins I need to work on for our Sunday service but I do not have service orders and the such to finish what I need to do. Therefore I finished a book that I was reading and decided that I would blog a bit. I don't have too much to say. The family is good. Well my kids and husband are. My sister Stephanie is thinking about getting a divorce. Her husband and her just had their 2 year anniversary. She's working a lot and going to school and she feels he doesn't love her. I love my sister but I feel it all goes both ways. She's always quick to put her husband down infront of us. Now I ask would that make you feel loved. I don't know what to do, but pray. She won't listen to me because she thinks I'm just trying to mother her. She's always felt that way about me. I just hope that she'll wait before she makes a rash decision.
I'm excited that my other sister Jessica is coming up from florida for a visit this weekend. This is just a short visit. She's going to come back in June for a month. I have not seen my sister and her 3 boys since last July. Jess and I have always gotten a long better.
I've started wondering lately if I am just not real good with relationships. I have a lot of friends but none that are extremly close. I'm good on the surface but I suck when it comes to really being there for someone. Then there's my extended family who I just feel awkward around. I ran into my Grandma and Uncle at the grocery store the other day and I didn't know what to say or how to act. It was just so weird. I love my grandma, I can tolerate my uncle, but I didn't know how to act. I guess at times I feel like people are always looking for a way to get out of a conversation with me. I am always afraid of talking too much. I've started to think that I'm not really shy it's just that my mom will talk to any one about anything and it embarrases me to death. It always has and I guess I'm afraid of that happening to me. So instead of talking to people I just kind of stand back. I don't know. I really didn't mean to get into this so much. I was just going to say a little something. Oh well.

comments

I just deleted a comment left on my last entry. I love being able to get commets from people but some of the things people leave that really aren't comments but are solicitations to get you to go to their websites. Some things I can ignore but when people start posting comments about free porn on my blog I don't really like it. Now I am thinking maybe I should take the comments option away. I don't know it just really ticks me off.
