General question.

Does anyone else find it obnoxious that people put music on their blogs? I find it extremely annoying. The last thing I want to hear when I see what could possibly be an interesting blog is a rap song talking about nasty things.

A different way to think for today.

Reading over my blog I realize that I put my husband down a lot. That is not my intention but it seems easier to write about things that bother me than things that are right in my life. I am not sure why that is, maybe because the things I am bothered by are in the front of my mind. I hate to admit this but I sometimes take my blessings for granted. :( I am ashamed that I do that.

Anyway back to David. I realized that I need to stop focusing so much on the negative about our relationship and start paying more attention to the positive. I think that David is a wonderfully amazing man. I know that he has made mistakes but who hasn't? He is kind and caring, considerate and thoughtful. He is a great friend and while he does not always know what to say he is great at listening. He is giving and selfless, he will go the extra mile to make me smile. I love him with everything I have inside and I am so very grateful to be married to such a wonderful man.

I think I need to set a goal to let him know how much I love him at least once a month if not more. I think it would benefit us both if we were to do that for each other. 

Everything you want to know and more.

Unique Motivation.

Last week David told me that there may be a way that the Army will pay for my dental work. I found out today that only a part of it will be $2500 and that is only a part of it. Our insurance will only cover up to $1250 a year so that means I have to pay the rest out of pocket. When David told me of the program I got excited and hopeful but since then he has not got any more information. He has not asked to be taken where he needs to go, he has (as far as I know) not even mentioned it to anyone. I sometimes wish that I could light a firecracker and drop it down his pants to get him moving. I know that they are busy over there and that he has a lot going on but I also know that he has down time and days where he does nothing.

I know this is not true but I feel sometimes that he does not care enough about me to make the effort to just ask to take care of things. For instance, his pay has been messed up since he got there and he has not talked to finance to get it fixed. Another example is this whole dental thing. I know that he loves me but sometimes I cannot help but wonder.

Sandpaper eyes.

I am so very tired. My eyelids feel like they are sandpaper and are rubbing my eyes raw. As tired as I am I am not able to sleep due to this EXTREME pain I am feeling in my mouth. Every since I went to the dentist I have had a major toothache that is preventing me from sleeping. When I finally do manage to fall asleep I wake up within minutes from the pain. I hope that tomorrow when I go back to the dentist they will be able to do something about the pain. Sleep would be nice right about now. Not having pain would be even better. :(

?

Is it possible to overdose on Ibuprofen? Just wondering.

Different thoughts.

I am snowed in for the day and I am so very bored. Not having anything to do all day tends to make me think even more than I already do. Here are some of the things I have been thinking about today:

If everyone treated everyone the way they would want to be treated things would be a lot better. Personal example, if David thought of me before making some decisions we would not have as many rough patches in our marriage. OR if the people who he talks to think about how they felt when/if it happened to them, they would put a stop to it.

Would getting rid of money and going back to bartering for services make the economy better? (I am not sure how that would work, just a thought that passed through my head.)

Shows like "Little Miss Perfect" and "Toddlers and Tiara's" should not be allowed for a couple of reasons (IMO). 1: gives pedophiles a way to watch girls, 2: starts giving girls bad self esteem early, 3: a lot of the girls are being taught that being pretty is the only thing that matters and that if they do not get first place they are not good enough.

How did people discover crocheting and knitting? Or even sewing for that matter. I would of never of thought of anything that ingenious by myself.

Is having a mean thought really bad if we don't share that thought or act on that thought? I know it is not right to be judgmental but everyone has thoughts and opinions and sometimes it is not possible to control an instant reaction to someone/something.

I really do not trust some girls in regards to my husband. I think they are trying to hard to appear as though they are innocent.

Ah, well. Those are just some of the thoughts I had today. It has been a long, boring, miserable and painful day. I have a major toothache that is keeping me from sleeping.

Hope everyone has a blessed day.
