Good Day and weekend

So the stomach bug came to our home and is spreading it's joy all around.  I am hoping that I feel better by the weekend.  My best friend of 23 years and I are going to have a girls weekend.  I am so excited.  I really need to get away from it all.  It seems like life has gotten in the way of my friendships too much.  How do you find the balance?

The hubby and I are better, thanks for asking.  He apologized and said that he was selfish and he would try to be more considerate.

What a weekend

This weekend in North Carolina was beautiful.  Saturday was in the 70's and Sunday we slept in.  Sleeping in is so not something that we would normally do, especially on a Sunday.  Yes, we missed Church.  By the time we woke up it was already too late.  It was fine because not long after we got up I started to get a horrible head ache. 

Sunday in depth: The hubby and I needed to go to Lowe's and look at some flooring.  The kids were already being a pain.  You know what I mean, not listening, screaming at each other, not doing chores, etc...  I wanted to leave the kids home.  I just was not in the mood to have them tag along to go to a store that I already knew they did not care about and would whine about being there.  I thought it would be an opportunity to spend some time alone with the hubby.  Now keep in mind, I did tell him this before hand.  But in the end, we all went to town and what I thought would happen did.  They whined and fussed.  Now of course, the hubby did not hear most of this because he was off by himself looking at lawnmowers.  So when all of that was over we went home.  By this time my head ache had grown to the size of Texas.  The hubby had to take the trash off.  Now I realize that this is not a glamorous date idea or anything but it would get me out of the house.  When I mentioned this to the hubby he gave me "the look".  You know the one "you mean you want to go with me! Are you crazy, that is man time!"  So what did I do...I backed off and said, "I will just stay here."  So let's fast forward a while, he had a 30 minute errand to run.  Knowing that I had a terrible head ache and since he did not say anything to me then I assumed he would come right back.  Well, NO, he did not.  He did not return for about 4 hours and when he returned and I was laying on the couch in tears he could not understand why I was upset.  I was crying because my head hurt so bad.  I was frustrated that he had no consideration for what was happening at home while he was out doing whatever. 

Am I over reacting here?

Do I need to focus?

I think I really need to focus.  This blog seems to be taking a trip to no man's land with no GPS.  I am really going to try and home it down some.  I need to just decide what type of blog this is.  I know that nobody is reading this blog and I am not really sure if I really care if people do or not.  All I do know is that sometimes my mind goes all over the place and I just feel like if I do not get it out I am going to explode.  I have a very good friend that is a blogger.  She blogs about coupons.  I will add a link to my page.

There is also a lot more to me than just being a Frustrated Army Reserve Wife.  I am also a mother to 3 beautiful and wonderful girls ages 15, 5 and 4.  When I met my hubby he was a Marine, so I guess at one time I was a Marine Corp Wife.  I also work full time at my local University.  I am a couponer.  I try to live a frugal life. I am a Christian and attend a wonderful church although sometime I am not the best Christian that I should be and I tend to get frustrated with my church since it seems to be more of a business than a family.  I do not have many friends.  Pretty much the only time I have to my self is on the way to work in the car after I take the kids to school in the morning.

I know that I am not the only woman in the world that feels this way.  I think there are more of us out there and yet so few of us really ever talk about it.  So if anyone is out there, tell me, what should I focus on in this blog?   

Dave Ramsey

So are there any Dave Ramsey fans out there.  I am a huge fan, however I am a failure at applying his concepts.  I have to do something, but it is so hard to do it when my hubby does not actively see what needs to be done.  I have make so many budgets I just refuse to make another one.  I waste my time making a budget and yet we do not EVER do anything else with it.  Now we do sit down and talk about it, but that is it.  How are we ever going to get it all together?  Help!
