Nervous Wreck!!!!!

If you see me walk on by today, looking totally frazzled, just get out of the way or refrain from saying anything mean LOL

Seriously, I'm anxiously awaiting the Portugal vs France game at 1pm, and I'm already biting my nails. Talking about nail biting, reminds me of the Germany vs Italy game yesterday......good grief, can you say DIRTY PLAYING?!?!?!? I don't think I've seen a game with so much pushing, shoving, tripping and dirty looks, since my kids were trying to play tag the other day (yes they get very INTO the tag lol)
I told Curt that I will email him before he leaves work to let him know if Portugal won or lost, not just because he's upset that he won't be home to watch the game, BUT it will let him know what sort of mood I'll be in LOL
In his own words "yeah, I might have to volunteer for some overtime at work". LOL

We had a wonderful time yesterday, we spent the day grilling, eating and watching Soccer. I even took pictures of the food just to make you hungry, maybe get you salivating for some, I'm just mean that way. Actually I'm not mean at all, but I couldn't help taking pictures of it, nothing looks prettier than grilled food :)

Right before we went to bed, I let the pugs out to go potty, and I look up and see this. How beautiful is that?

After this long weekend, it seems kinda weird getting back to the normal routine, I was enjoying having hubby home and just relaxing. BUT now it means I have a house to clean and reorganize again. Isn't it always that way??? You just let your cleaning guard down for a day or two and everything goes topsy turvy. I have tons of laundry to do, gotta get the bathrooms cleaned, sweep and mop, vacuum etc.....all before noon.

You might want to know why noon??? Well, because at noon my portuguese soap comes on. HUH?!?!?! What are you talking about??? I not only like watching General Hospital, but I also watch my Portuguese Soap called "Sonhos Traidos", on RTPI (Portuguese TV). Since the area that I'm in does not have this channel on my cable lineup, I go online to JUMPTV and watch it on my computer. Seriously, if any of you are in a different country and want to watch tv from back home, check out Jumptv, chances are your home channels are on there.

I got a book in the mail yesterday, called "15 minutes alone with God" by Emilie Barnes. This is just what I was looking for. I don't have much time during the day, I'm usually so busy with the kids and the house and errands, and I hate feeling like I'm putting God on hold. I do however, have about 30 minutes each morning, and with this book I'll be able to do my devotionals before the kids are up and ready to start the day.

Here's what I've noticed. If I get up in the morning and don't get a chance to spend some time with God and pray for the day ahead of me, I am faced with problems, obstacles and just things going wrong. It's like a snowball effect, everything just piles on and on and by the time I go to bed, I feel like I've just been climbing Mt. Everest all day and not seeing the end in sight.

When I do get up in the morning, and pray and ask for guidance throughout the day, everything runs more smoothly. I'm not making this up people, really, try it for yourself, even if for just a week, and you'll be amazed at the difference. I'm not saying that things won't happen, or something won't go wrong or not how you planned, but they will either be really small things, or you will have the wisdom and ability to deal with it.

Well the house is calling and I really should start my cleaning. Have a great wednesday and if you happen to get the chance, watch the Portugal vs France game. Root for Portugal though, or I will be one sad puppy!!!!

God Bless,
