A great weekend

We spent a great weekend at this little Methodist Church in Pinopolis, SC which is outside of Moncks Corner. The people were awesome and made me realize that is what church is supposed to be like. It was more like one huge family and I know that Sue and I have really looked for a church that we can call home, and trust me we have not found that sort of place. I really feel like we were ministered to and it really recharged my batteries. It was really tiring, but that is ok too.
We work with the youth and if there was ever a need right now, that is with our youth. Sue and I have been trying to give up the youth for about five years now and I really feel like God has told me to stay with them even though we are so much older and really have nothing in common with the youth of today. I cannot believe all of the stuff that they go through and all of the stuff that they have to play with that I did not have when I was their age. The biggest problem that we encountered was the cell phonbes and texting from them and had to ask them to make sure that they kept them out of sight while we had our sessions. Now I have a phone, but it stayed in my pocket on vibrate and that is what it should have been. I really feel like we are supposed to be dealing with them right now to make sure that they not only know Christ as their Savior but to love him and let Him love them with that everlasting love that no one can give, and also to make sure that their prayer life is better too because without a prayer life, life would be miserable.
I am really happy that we went, but better happy to get back into my own bed as well.

A great day

It has been a great day. It has been really quiet and peaceful and I am now in the NASCAR spirit.
Today were the twin 150 mile qualifying races and it was nice to be able to sit back and crank up the surround system and just enjoy because Sue has been at work all day long and had a PTO meeting tonight and that gave me the opportunity to just crank it up.
I hope that the meetingoes better than with some of her students today and that she will get some rest tonight because she is just whipped and the next couple of weeks aren't going to be much easier. We have a mission next week near Charleston and then her mom is having a stint put in an artery the following Tuesday morning so we will be really busy, but it will all work out.

Figured out my problem

I think I figured out my problem from last night. I dumped this morning and think that ist was the combination of too much sugar and little too much grease. I would have been better off eating the piece of dark chocolate and not eating the cherry turnover I ate. I think that combined with the caffeine from my coffee this morning bit me, but what can you do, but just watch it too.

Just frustrated

I am really frustrated this morning. The house looks horrible and Sue just seems content to do nothing about it. I would be more than happy to help if she would just get off of the couch and ask. The kitchen is horrible and stuff is stacked everywhere and I have no earthly idea where most of it goes as well as stuff down in the den that she has stacked. I do not dare touch it because if it falls, I get yelled at am tired of that crap too.
I have a feeling that she is depressed as well as has some fairly serious sleep apnea and wish that she would do something about it. Our insurance will not cover gastric bypass surgery and I think that would help her out greatly even though I do not think she is emotionally ready for that kind of radical surgery as well as commitment to what it takes.
I just felt like I needed to vent and writing in my blog definitely helps that tool

A little frustrated right now

I think that this title says it all. I am a little frustrated with my sister-in-law right now. I cannot stand her holier than thou attitude right now. I sent her a story about something in the newspaper this morning and her reply was just wrong and in a nice way I tol her that her statement was horribly judgmental and then she got started in on my wife's attitude and I think it stemmed from Sunday night when he and Sue were fising the chili and he just did not have enough spices or sauce in it and Sue who cooks much more than Scott ever does was trying to tell him and trust me, with what she was trying to tell him about the sauce, she was right and then I get this attitude where they wanted to knock her head in. I am sorry but they are really narrow minded and bigotted and I would never go to their narrow minded Independent Baptitst church too because I am sure that is where much of their junk comes from.
I do get really frustrated with Sue and am really frustrated with the fact that she will not get off of her butt and do anything around the house or for herself and that even includes exercising and eating better than she does, but that is just something that she is personally going to have to deal with her on her own.

Frustrated with Major

I was really frustrated with Major tonight. Somehow he got a expensive pair of scissors that were on the couch in the living room and chewed the plastic handles off of them. I really thought that he was beginning to settle down now that he has hit three, but then he pulls something like this. I was really strict and hard on him and am just going to have to be that way and to make sure that he behaves here in the house. I cannot have him continually tearing stuff up and I blame his puppy raiser and his area coordinator for this. I cannot blame the training staff at the school because each trainer has about 15 dogs in a string and they just do not have the time to take care of behavior issues while they are training the dogs, so it is up to the area coordinators and the puppy raiser to make sure that their behavior is spot on. I heard many stories of his great house manners and they have never really come up to the expectations I was given and that really disappoints me because his work in harness is great and really confident.

Back to the grind

We are definitely back to the grind again. Sue has not wanted to get up any day this week since she has had to go back to school, and I guess I cannot blame her too. She was sick the week before break started and then the week of Christmas, we ran just about every day somewhere and then she had the week after Christmas to relax, and I know that she felt like she had no vacation at all. I am hanging in there and still learning every day that passes what works now and what doesn't since my gall bladder surgery. I heated some hamburger steak too long yesterday and it dried the steak out and it bit me hard, but after taking all yesterday afternoon to get over it, I am fine now and will just have to watch what I am eating and how things are prepared.
It has been stormy here this morning and I am looking forward to a hot pot of coffeee here shortly.
