Feeling AGGRAVATED (at the moment)

I know I've been writing a lot lately, but 'tis okay, right? Anywho- writing for no reason other than I'm angry at this lady outside. She's being a negligent mother. My office is directly in front of the big outdoor pool so at times 'people watching' can be amusing. Today it's irritating. She came out yesterday and dragged her 11-12 year old son out with her, putting no suncreen on him. She was sun bathing for THREE hours and we watched as her son's skin turned to darker, darker shades of red. (Keep in mind it was like 80 something yesterday) She's got that older, leathery, cancerous looking skin and apparently obssesses over UV rays. Today she ventured out again, bringing her fryed son with her, again applying no sunscreen. So they've been out there in the heat of the day for 1 1/2 hours so far and he doesn't look like he's having fun. It's just painful looking at her son and it makes me angry that he's being consequenced because of her obsession. It's kinda like cigarrette smoking. Why should one person be permitted to enjoy their bad habit at the expense of another. I just want to go out there and give her a peice of my mind...

2:30pm Update: So...I just found out that she's the nanny. Fire her! Fire her! FIRE HER!
Kay, I'm done :)

The Incredible Hulk

This is an amazing movie. Jason and I highly recommend it. I thought it might be...well, fake. But it's SO not! :) We both love a good action movie and this is one. For all the women- there was such a goooooood love story! *tear* This is a must see for theater watching. One sorta sexual scene but it wasn't too bad- no nudity yay! Language was not bad. Just a lot of action. I promise, the producers of the movie and the marketing department did NOT paying me to write this :) Go see it! Go see it! Go see it!

Headache!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRR my head hurts!! Why? Why do I have headaches when I NEVER used to get them? Blah I hate them! It's not even horrible- it's simply irritating. I swear, computers and cell phones are giving me cancer. I am hungry- oh so hungry... I wish lunches were easier for me to pack so I'm not always starving at work. It's an icky feeling. I can't wait to get off in 3 minutes so I can go home and EAT!

Mmmmmm.... food + no headaches = bliss

Jason's ER Visit

So we had a "freak out" incident on Monday night. I had gone to bed shorty after Jason left for work. Completely passed out. I was in a deep sleep when suddenly I felt a hand touch my arm. The room was dark. As I groggily looked up all I could see was a large male figure standing over me- as stiff as a board. I thought it could not have been Jason because if he ever needs to awaken me, he leans over, gently touches my hair and whispers my name until I take notice. This encounter was not very gentle and I freaked out. Letting out a shriek I flung myself to the other side of the bed, away from the figure, only to hear Jason's apologetic, but strained voice. "Sorry...sorry...sorry," was all he could say. Despite my shock and exhaustion I could tell something was not right. He was still in the same stiff position. "What's wrong?" I asked him. He told me he needed to go to the ER. Wow- so many thoughts ran through my mind at that moment. "Why does he need to go to the ER?" "Was he okay?" "What happened?" "Was I going to lose the only man I've ever loved?" He was acting so wierd and abnormal. I asked him what had happened, though he didn't seem like he was in position to talk. He slowly told me that he had been at work (UPS) when a 46Ib box had fallen on his head from 10 feet up. He said his head wasn't in pain but his neck was killing him and he was starting to lose feeling in his arm. Wow, this scared me- especially since I'm close to a lady who is paralyzed from the neck down due to a neck/spine injury.

We rushed in to the ER, escorted by his supervisor since it was a work related injury. They had Jason take several tests, including an MRI, CAT scan, and other nerve related tests. We were in the hospital for close to 9 hours, Jason wearing a neck brace the whole time which he hated. We got in at 4am and did not get out till 12:30pm. Talk about being exhaustion! We had prayed on the way there that nothing too serious would be wrong and God answered our prayer! He did not have any fractured bones or ligaments- just several pinched nerves in his neck.

He's doing okay but his neck is still in a lot of pain. Please pray that it would heal fast. We are so grateful that it was not more serious than it was. God is great! :)

Just thoughts...

Today has been ehh... I got shifted to another property for a few days and man is it slow here. I've was trying to figure out their accounting system for a bit but lately I've just been sitting here playing on the internet -Feeling completely justified in it since I know nearly nothing of this property, of which they are aware. I got a chance to check out some sermons on youtube.com of the guy who led my brother to Christ. His name is "Paul Washer." -Incredible preacher. He preaches to the church and I appreciate it because he is not afraid to convict and to standby the Word. So often preachers do not convict or preach boldly enough. And the American church needs repentence. Too many Christians are so afraid to "offend" and I despise the fact that I more than often fall into that category. My prayer is that God helps me overcome my desire "to please," because I know this desire is of the world and hinders who He's called me to be. Anyways, I then somehow got linked to some of Joel Olsteen's sermons and....yikes. He is not preaching the Bible. I've heard of his preaching but have never actually listened to it. It was incredibly disturbing to see his church of 20,000 people listening to him preach the "prosperity gospel," a doctrine that is so far from Biblical truth. I'm scared for him if he does not repent and continues leading people in adhering to false teaching. I prayed when I finished watching it that God would give us incredible discernment. I truly believe there is an ample amount of false teaching out there and I know that we cannot recognize it if we are not in God's Word. And that is scary. I pray we are all seeking Him and His truth, rather than getting caught up in our idealistic world. Jason and I are trying to be focused on prayer and growth but have been having difficulty finding time, which is wrong. Pray that we make time for the One who gave us time. Only then can we truly grow and become who He desires us to be. Only then can we come to understand His righteousness, holiness, mercy and love. Only then can we be servants that bring all glory to Him. Alright, I have to go home now. Thank you for listening to my rambling :)
