I haven't been sleeping well lately. Maybe it's because a man in my building works evenings and leaves around 12:30 each night. How do I know this? Because he revs his engine every night at this time. Every night. It is ridiculous. Since he parks right under my bedroom window, he wakes me up every night. It's getting annoying. But I've been having trouble getting to sleep most nights. Once I get to sleep, I'm fine but I can't shut my mind off long enough to actually get to sleep. I have so many issues that I worry over that I can't stop thinking about them. I try to give them over to God but it's so hard sometimes. I can't stand it when people tell me to just give it to God and don't worry about it. Well, that's a lot easier said than done. Not that I don't mind giving it over to God...it's just hard to let go or forget about it. Maybe I have trust and faith issues. I keep thinking of what I need to do next and how to fix it. I did hear a saying once in Sunday School a few years go to work like it's all up to you and pray like it's all up to God. I like that. Because I know that I need to pray and give everything over to God but I also need to do something about it also.
I have a few decisions to make over the next few months. Some of them will be life changing..but for the better. My problem is accepting change and getting the courage to act on it. If I make a certain decision that I've been contemplating for awhile it will make another issue or problem that I'm dealing with a little better. The other issues I just need to accept facts. It's hard especially when you are looking ahead into the future. I know that my personality has changed somewhat because of all that is on my mind. I'm a little more distant with people. I'm aware of it. So if anyone has any advice on how to deal with issues and sleep at the same time, I will gladly hear it...I may not take it...but I'll listen. :) If you have no advice or scripture to give me...just pray for me. I need it.
Now, on to a lighter subject...Dancing with the Stars. Let me say that there are way too many couples and I'm so glad that they eliminated one couple last night and one tonight. I'm still not too impressed with this cast and I'm praying that Cloris Leachman gets kicked off tonight because she cannot dance. I know she's 82 and has tons of health issues but she's only on there for entertainment purposes and when she is talking nonstop and cussing out the judges because she doesn't like their scores, it's a little much. I mean little kids are watching this and she is getting bleeped out. It's a family show! But I think my favorite is Brooke Burke. She has natural talent and she's doing very well. And man, if I look like that after 4 kids....wow!! She looks great! I like a few others as well. I'm mainly watching this show this season out of loyalty. I've watched it since the first season. The only reason I started watching it was I had seen that Joey McIntyre from NKOTB would be on there and I loved NKOTB when I was younger. On a side note...I know that they reunited and I did by their new CD. I wish I had bought their greatest hits instead. Their new CD is okay. All the songs sound the same but I sure do love watching them on TV. :) I do remember when a couple of years ago the Dancing with the Stars tour came to Nashville my mom and I went to go see them. Joey McIntyre was there. I was so excited because I finally got to see Joey McIntyre perform in person! He sang a few numbers and danced and oh it brought back memories of when I was 14. Drew Lachey, Jerry Springer, and Joey Lawrence were all there too. Good times! Anyway, we will see how this season of Dancing with the Stars plays out.
NCIS last night was phenomenal. It was one of the best episodes I've seen them do. It was really great. I say again...please check this show out! It's the best one out there. And I just want to mention again that I love DVR. I went to our church's softball game last night (we lost) and then out to eat with some friends so I didn't watch my shows in real time. I watched them all when I got home and I love DVR. If I knew who created it I would kiss them. It's the best invention. You never have to worry about programming your shows or finding a tape to use. I don't even know what a commercial is anymore. :)
Tonight I have church and then home to watch the results show for DWTS. Please let it be Cloris Leachman. Please!! Tomorrow will be a good night. I'll actually get to stay home and relax. Survivor and The Office come on tomorrow so it'll be a good night.
I'm also starting to get things together for my trip. I'm so excited about that. I'm sure I haven't mentioned that before. :) I have just a few more things to get for it then I'll be ready to start packing. I have no idea how to pack for this. Unless I want to pay for two bags I have to try and cram everything into one suitcase. I'm trying to come up with a clever way to pack and save room for souvenirs. I'll make it happen somehow. I'm going to Hawaii!!!
I'll close for now. This one was kind of long and rambly. Is rambly a word? I'll make it a word. I know I rambled alot on this one. Sorry about that. I also ask that you pray for a friend of mine's father. I talked with her this morning and the doctors said that her father either has mono or a form of stomach cancer. But they can't run tests until Monday. Please pray for them. I know they would apprecaite it. He's only 50. I hope you all are getting a better and more peaceful sleep than I am.
