Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end..

Less than 24 hours until I am listening to the beautiful sounds of Explosions In the Sky..yay! I'm so not looking forward to the 5 and a half hour drive..but I know it will be worth it. Don't forget that tomorrow is April Fool's Day, everyone! Don't let nobody hand you no wooden nickels. I'm gonna be on the lookout for tricksters. On the flipside, I really need a trick to play on my husband..I already pulled the pregnancy thing last year so I can't do that again..I will have to think of something. 

I cooked falafels for supper..Judah walks in from work and tells me he needs something of substance to eat, and he's tired of eating fruits and vegetables..so it's 9:30..and he's ordering a pizza. men! If I ate that right now, I would have heartburn all night and never be able to sleep. 

I missed Swamp People..I wanted to watch it because some of those people are from not too far past the Plaquemine office where I work. Darn! 

I just found out today that another one of my co workers is going to work somewhere else..The PT that I usually work with is moving this summer..so that's 2 of my buddies leaving :-/ My boss just hired one new PT that I know everyone will get along with..he's really cool. He is about to graduate so all he has to do is pass his boards and he's good to go. It's gonna be a lot different at my job..but I'm looking forward to change. I'm excited that our New Roads office is starting to get a lot busier. That office is like my baby. I would love to own it one day. I would like to own it and hire a PT to work it..and I could work a few days a week, but still have the liberty to be off a few days during the week. I don't even know what it's like to have a week day off. I have been working/at school every day since..well since I started going to school I guess. I don't see the point right now in taking any days off during the week (I don't think I would be able to do that anyway, as we are busy in all of our offices right now), but I know when I have kids I'll want a few days off. 

That's enough boring rambles for one night..goodnight!

cravings..

I want meat. I want a big bacon cheeseburger. I would never mentally be able to consume an entire one because I would be thinking about how many calories were in it the whole time..I know I have a problem..but I'm only human! I don't really cook much meat at home..if it's ground meat it's either chicken or turkey..but I might finally make it over to 5 Guys one of these days and eat a big nasty greasy gross cheeseburger. There's nothing better!

I really really need some new music..I'm so tired of all of the music I have right now..I spend like 2 or more hours every day in my car..so I get tired of it fast..pandora radio helps (blink 182 and relient k are my favorite stations..Blink 182 is my guilty music pleasure..) but even they tend to play the same songs every other day. So, if any of you know of any new music out there..lemme know.

Also..can anyone give me some ideas of things that you eat for supper? I have like 197 recipes that I want to try..but I'm lazy this week and don't feel like doing that..I would just like to know what kinds of things you people are eating that I may not have thought of..?

nighty night bloggies.

boring.

My day..was boring. very boring. I went to work..came home..p90x'ed..made supper (well..it was half leftovers so that doesn't really count)..then watched the biggest loser. I also bought my ticket to see Eisley :] I'm real excited about that..but..there aren't any ticketmaster retail outlets near me..that sucks!

Today one of my patients told me that he didn't allow his son to play basketball this year because he has anger issues..and he can't sit through any sports event at FRA without getting yelled at, kicked out, or swung at. (I'm talking about the father btw, not the son..) How much would that suck? You can't play a sport that you like because you're dad hates every Ref there is in the state of Louisiana and might get in a fight with one..He also tried to fight his boss at one point..he be crazy. I can't imagine how this makes his wife and children feel..

Oh and I'm excited to see Explosions In the Sky on Friday..not excited for the drive..actually I wasn't really excited about going at all until today. I would have never gone to see them..but I got sucked in. And I think it will be a great show! And I found a ticketmaster retail outlet near the venue so if we are early I might just go and pick up my Eisley ticket..
Can you tell I was in a better mood today??

Take me home, I walk the night in the valley..

Sorry for the short post yesterday, blog..I think if I would have typed out everything I needed to say I might still be typing it at this very moment.
There are so many things in my life right now that frustrate me. In almost every area of my life. I can't do anything about any of it either..except pray. I can't change people or the way they think or act so all I can do is ask God to open their eyes to the world around them. I am the kind of person that always looks deeper at every situation..trying to see the root of it. Some people think that's a little overboard or crazy..but I need to know! It can be something so simple that a person will do..but I always try to find out why. I don't think it's a bad thing to do..The only downside to this is that I over analyze a lot of things..sometimes to the point where I will feel sick to my stomach-even if the situation has nothing to do with me. One time when I was in Junior High I had a friend call me and ask advice about something..and I kept trying to think of what to say to her (it was about a boy, and I had no idea what to say..) and I felt so bad and she finally said "Risa, I think you are more worried about my problem than I am". I was legitimately trying to help her, but I think she just wanted to gossip. Hm. Junior High girls.
Thankfully, I did some hardcore p90x today and got a lot of my frustration out..yeah, it's still there but I needed an outlet. And my legs are reeeeeeeal sore.
Then I made lemon chicken soup. It was soooo good! It didn't take very long to make either..it's a recipe from the lady on food network who makes healthy food..her name just slipped my mind but she has short hair..y'all know who I'm talkin about.
4 days til Explosions In the Sky!!

I'm begging you to be my escape..

I am completely emotionally and mentally exhausted.

Do you ever just want to run away??

The end will justify the pain it took to get us there..

I'm blogging early today..I'm going out to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight and I know I will get home too late and forget to do this!
So I pretty much feel like I didn't get anything done today..well I got one thing accomplished..I got fitted for a bridesmaids dress for my cousin's wedding. I was supposed to come home and clean my house, but my electricity went..so now instead of cleaning, I'm blogging..I'll clean as soon as I finish this! I absolutely love the blogs that both of my sister in laws just wrote..they are so true and I am happy that they both realize that they have found a treasure in Charlie and Nicholas. I can say this because I have had my fair share of crappy relationships. The one I was in right before I met my husband was the worst one..I think everyone that reads this knows that so I really don't have to say much about it. We brought out the WORST in each other ALL OF THE TIME. I have never been treated so disrespectfully in my entire life..I have never known anyone that could make me feel like the ugliest, fattest (literally, he told me every day), grossest..I just don't understand why I stayed there for so long. It was definitely a soul tie that lasted for almost 10 years of my life. I knew I was stuck in that relationship and I didn't have the strength to leave it. I prayed every single night for God to help me find a way out. Then I met Judah..and he literally took me out of that situation. It wasn't easy but he made it a little easier and helped me through a lot of it..He was very sweet, kind, patient, caring, giving..He had a lot of the qualities that I admire in a man.
I honestly didn't know what I did to deserve a man that would treat me that way..He stayed with me through a lot of crap that I had to deal with and he didn't push me or get frustrated with me. He just loved me. And now, I do the same for him. I am here for the long run and I know that we will go through our crap, but we are supposed to be there through the crap..that's the whole point! At least, that's what I made a vow to do on our wedding day. I love Judah so much and I thank God daily for him.

And my head told my heart, let love grow..

I'm so tired so I think this one will be a short one..
Today I worked, took Ethan to Paradise Smoothie so he could get nasty tapioca balls, came home and changed and took the kids bowling with a bunch of people from my church..we had a great time. I'm so thankful to my family for loving the boys so much..Especially my brothers..the kids love them so much and can't imagine living without Charlie aka "Link" for 2 years when he moves..I'm gonna have to apologize in advance to Nicky for them driving him nuts to play video games and baseball with them!! I'm going to spend like 5 minutes with my husband now before he falls asleep..goodnight!
