Random thoughts

I'm so totally exhausted tonight. It's been a very busy day. Hubby's started his shopping, but I don't really think he was in the mood today. He was just kind of dragging along, lol. But he got a few things and we got food, so I'm good for the week. Tomorrow I'm doing nothing outside of the house. Spent yesterday working on my class, finishing the laundry, and cleaning. I was tired at the end of that day to, lol.

Hubby seems kind of sad. I asked him if he was excited about leaving soon to see his family. He said not really, but he has to go. He would prefer to stay here. Wow, ok. Not the answer I was expecting, but I guess his family has so many expectations of him, I think maybe he's feeling overwhelmed right now. It must be his culture, it seems like since he's the oldest boy, he's expected to take care of everyone. I think that's an unfair burden to place on a child who lives half way around the world. And maybe it's all the drama that goes on in his family that he just doesn't want to deal with. They are a very proud people but also very jealous and backstabbing and down right rude to each other. Not that we can't be in this country, but it just seems more so over there. I don't know, but I decided I'm going to be extra nice to hubby (lol) and spend some quality time with him tomorrow. I think he needs it.

Church was good today. There was someone there who used to attend the church years ago, and he had information about the church's history. Not being a native, I had no idea what he was talking about as to how him and a few other families are related and have strong roots in that church, but the history of the church was interesting. I could sort of relate because the church I grew up in was started by my great (great?) grandfather in 1876. He was the preacher there until he retired many, many years later. This guy had said that the church itself was over 200 years old. I think that's great that the church is still operating today. It's small, but the more involved I'm becoming the cozier its feeling to me. Now, to just find a pastor and get some activities going in there............

As for hubby going away, I'm slowly adjusting to that. I don't adjust to change very well, especially sudden change. I need time to mull it over and accept it. I am determined this time to totally rely on God while hubby is gone. This is not a test I want to repeat again, lol. I've been through this before and I can do it again. But, this time, I won't close myself off from everyone and everything and just exist like I did last time. That was the worst possible thing I could have done.

Rumor has it we are in for more snow, tomorrow. Like eight or more inches. I haven't seen the weather since Friday afternoon and there was nothing about snow coming, colder yes, snow showers yes, but that was it. Have to check that out. I really don't want anymore snow. Most of it has melted. Of course, the driveway has it's icy, break your neck if your not careful spots, but that is usually only until mid morning, then it starts to get squishy.

Rented movies again last night. It's been a movie weekend, lol. I got A Cajun (something or other, don't remember) and The Family that Preys. The Cajun movie was really good. It was filmed in Louisiana. At the end of the movie, before the credits they showed a picture of this tree lined road. In 2005 I believe. Then they put a caption on stating that 31 days after the movie finished, hurricane Katrina hit. They showed what it looked like after and did a credit to all the people who lived along the river who lost their homes because of the storm. Wow.

The other movie, The Family that Preys, was really good. I'm a huge Tyler Perry fan anyway. His movies always have a very powerful story to tell, but to keep it from getting to intense, he throws some comedy in. This one was no exception. There were truly some hysterical parts in there. No movies tonight, I think I'm movied out, lol. Just going to do some knitting and reading and that's it for me. I'm really tired anyway.
