My new thing lately has been trying to change my attitude in order to change the way I perceive things. Like with Lucy's late-night wakings, I've been trying to view them as "us" time in order to keep my sanity. It's been a good rule of thought and I have a more positive outlook on like I think because of it--plus the fact that I'm praying like crazy for God to calm and change my heart (the root of my attitude).
Yesterday we got back from a nice visit to Paradise. We found out that my best childhood friend, Ashley is having a boy! We're also thinking of taking advantage of the Cash for Clunkers program. We were running through the list of all the things that need to be fixed on the Jeep and the list was so extensive that the cost would out weigh buying a new vehicle after the rebate. Not to mention all the savings in gas we'd have with a new vehicle. However, the senate still has to pass the new $2billion proposed for the program or else it's gone by Wednesday or Friday or something...
If we do buy a new vehicle, I think we'll wait to buy a house. Originally we were going to try and take advantage of the $8k tax credit for first time home buyers by December, but realistically, we need the rebates on the vehicles more than we need the $8k come tax time. We'll see what happens. I have a peace about which ever route we end up taking.
OH! We got a jumper for Lucy! Yes! My grandma bought us one and it is a LIFE SAVER! She loves it and it really entertains her so I can get things done around here.
As far as my Real Estate Business goes, I have approximately 2 clients (aside from myself). My mother-in-law is buying her first home in Paradise, and I have some clients here who work for CCC.
I think Lucy's teething is getting better--she's less fussy. However, I've changed my attitude about the situation, so my perspective is less likely to jump towards "she's so fussy, I can't handle it, she needs drugs." She's a delightful little creature who is learning to crawl, and I love her!
My mom is having a endoscopy tonight for a gall stone that's dislodged from her gallbladder and is blocking a passage from her liver. We call her mellow yellow :) Hopefully the endoscopy to have the stone removed will make her feel better.
Less then three weeks till my sister gets married!
And the best news of the day: ADAM JUST CAME HOME AND SURPRISED ME WITH A NIGHT'S STAY AT THE HOTEL DIAMOND FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY! It's the hotel we stayed our first night in as man and wife. My parents are going to watch Lucy and pay for us to go out to dinner that night. I'm so excited. That's this Friday.
That's all for now. :)

No way!! Hotel Diamond is where Jake and I spent our first night together after we were married. Such a beautiful hotel! I'm so jealous :-) What a great hubby. Hannah has also been waking up at night...I should develop the same positive attitude you are striving for because otherwise I may lose my sanity as well :-)
i think you are so right about the perspective thing...sometimes when Lexi starts to get fussy i find myself thinking..."this is going to be a horrible day..i can't handle this...negative, negative, negative." And it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. It also leaves God out of the picture. I need to pray for an attitude change as well when things are hard. Thanks for the encouraging words!
