So he wants to be the only "blogger" in the family. Funny. What I keep trying to tell him are that my blogs consist of what life is like here in Arkansas. So let the war of the blogs begin....
(hee-hee. this is why I love my husband so much, we have silly little battles to keep our life fun and light....)
What's new in AR?
Point 1: Word is spreading like wildfire that we are having a little girl. This has become an embarrassing situation, as Landon for the past two months has been telling everyone that he's getting a baby sister named Molly and can't wait for her to get here.
I AM NOT PREGNANT!! But, my little 5 year old boy has been praying to Jesus every night to bring him a little sister, and can't understand why she just isn't here yet. Needless to say, when he talks to people, it's already a done deal, and so here come the snarls and stares from everyone wondering. Esp. now that I quit smoking, and was going through a detox from drinking my wine from the holidays, everyone noticed.... and all I am trying to accomplish is losing some holiday weight and cleansing....
This of course poses the question, that maybe baby Lawson #3 might be up for discussion....not now...but at least the ice is broken, and we don't have the heart to break the heart of our 5 year old kid at the moment. Esp, when he prays for "Molly" every night.... melts my heart, but I am still weary of having three kids under the age of 6 living in this house at the moment. It's a bit chaotic already....as I always say, God has a plan, so my new attitude is to roll with it.
Point 2: Since I have quit my job, I have branched out and freelancing has become quite a wonderful opportunity for me. I have been in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette Newspaper TWICE for both projects I have worked on, and now I have a second call back for a play on Monday for a community theatre.
I actually got a call from the director to "please come and audition", and I almost felt as if I had been bold enough to request a lead, it would've been granted, but there were some pretty great gals at the rehearsal, and quite honestly, I am trying to figure out if I have the time to fit this into my crazy schedule right now at all. I never thought there'd be a day when I was considering turing down roles. But, that day has arrived, and I am very conflicted. I haven't acted in quite some time, but again, it's time consuming and I've got a family to consider here, as I just left them for three weeks in December for the last show I did, and now once a month, doing it again to them....just things to ponder....
I have been so busy since I quite working, so much for that "staying home thing". I have been working more hours then when I was actually working, and most of it's volunteer, so if now we can find some work that we can put a paycheck to, that would be great....
Leading to Point 3: I DISLIKE car shopping in Arkansas. In fact, this is a whole other blog in itself. Suffice to say, one week later, still haven't found a car, ended up calling Michigan to try and buy the car up there, and since we still own a home there, its all perfectly legal for me to do this, and then transfer the plates when I get back down here to Arkansas. My point is, all I keep hearing about is, taxes here, taxes there, bottom line, lets add another $100 payment to have you own a vehicle in Arkansas. NOW....you all know my track record with living in one place for too long, so now I have to sacrifice my hard earned dollar and give allegiance to ARKANSAS for the next 5 YEARS? yea, I don't think so.....Back to Michigan we go, and in 2 hours I was able to get the deal I wanted on the car I wanted, OVER THE PHONE, and when I explained this to my dealers here in AR, I got a big fat....then go for it!!!!
Again, this is all a blog for another day.
So, next time, I shall give you the overhaul year in review like I have done in the past, but for now, let's just say. WELCOME BACK!!!
