A little checkup

How are my resolutions going? Let's see....
1. Be on time: I'm doing ok.

3. Be generally more organized. I'm doing so much better! Maybe it's the nesting instinct!

4. Be more aware of when I am nagging my husband to death. Oh dear. I had a really ridiculous and shameful outburst on Sunday afternoon.

Let's call it "Fun times in Hormone Land with Devin and Marie" (the capital letters mean yelling/escalated tones)

D: "You eating the last of the leftovers?" They were spinach/artichoke calzones and are one of the few leftovers I like
M: "Well I really want to, but I know you like leftovers a lot. "
D: "You can have them."
M: feeling very guilty, but secretly wanting them
D: goes to heat up the leftover spinach/artichoke filling with eggs and tortilla
M: "YOU CAN'T EAT THAT! THAT IS GOING TO TASTE DISGUSTING AND YOU WILL THROW IT AWAY AND IT WILL BE WASTED" (as if Devin would ever throw food away)
M: "JUST EAT THE CALZONE!"
D: "no, it's ok..."
M: HERE IS SOME TORTELLINI. PUT THE FILLING WITH THAT. NO I'LL EAT THAT. YOU EAT THE CALZONE. JUST EAT THE CALZONE!!!!!!!! (it's warming up in the oven)
D: "it's really ok (can you believe he stayed calm?)" I'll eat the tortellini.
D: fills up a pan with water to boil the tortellini
M: YOU DIDN'T PUT ENOUGH WATER IN THE PAN! IT WON'T COOK RIGHT!
D: ....
M: now focused on gettting frustrated with Addison for spilling soup on the table as I'm eating cottage cheese (something I NEVER eat. Ever) and waiting for the calzones to warm up
D: Are you eating cottage cheese? Since when do you eat cottage cheese?
M: WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I EAT???? I'M STARVING!
D: ....

That's when the shame set in. I knew I was being such a freaking nag that it was unbelievable. I knew I had to apologize, but I didn't want to because that meant I actually had to admit to acting like such a raging lunatic. This took about 10 minutes. I immediately burst into tears and apologized for being such a control freak/nag and Devin forgave me. We'll keep working on this resolution...


5. I want to continue to keep God first in my life. I haven't been getting up earlier, but I did re-discover My Utmost For His Highest and it really is a great way to get refreshed for the day. I think I'll keep reading this instead of trying to work on a bible study.


6. Drink. more. water. I'm actually doing lots better! I even kind of like water a little bit now.

Here are a few good things that have happened lately:
-A big, family pack of blueberries was on sale at Hen House for 3.99 yesterday. We all love blueberries (especially Addison) but they are typically way too expensive to buy.
-LOST comes on tonight!
-I found out that our old pastor, Dave Cox, who resigned nearly two years ago, after admitting to an affair is sharing his testimony/story with different churches around the country. I saw him on God Tube! It brought me so much joy to know that God is using that tragedy for good.
-Addison started saying "I love you!" Can't beat that...
