Permanent Writer's Block

Subtitles include: READER BEWARE; RANDOM THINGS YOU HAVE NO DESIRE TO KNOW; and DON'T WORRY, I'M NOT SUICIDAL

Due to personal trials I am going through, I seem to have contracted a serious and, what seems to be, a permanent case of writer's block.

I usually am able to share at least SOME kind of story or thought with you all- but at this time all I can say is I have SOOOOOOOOO much to say, but no words with which to say it.

Joshua is still Joshua,
Jim is still Jim,
I am still me (only worn out but still treading)

Joshua is still funny and smart and cute and growing
Jim is still strong and handsome yet still stressed and sacrificing
I am existing and functioning and desiring to get out of this "funk" but can't

Joshua has grown 3 1/2 inches since last year (and an 1 1/2 inches in just 4 months)
Jim's company has undergone a lot of changes (mostly for the better)
I am behind on my housework (as usual) failing at being a good wife and still sleepless (but not in Seattle)

Joshua is AWESOME at doing mazes (just learned that tonight)
Jim is AWESOME at helping me around the house
I am AWESOME at procrastinating and not sleeping at night!

Joshua has a bigger room in our new apt (compared to his room at our old house)
Jim got rid of EVERYTHING that meant anything to him (ok, well not everything cause he got to keep me and Joshua) :)
I have a vanity in my dining room.

The story of Job has been heavy on my mind and I feel guilty about it.

I think it's ironic that the nutrition label on the Great Value brand of Party Peanuts discloses an Allergy Warning that the product contains peanuts (REALLY?) Did someone SUE the manufacturer because they had a peanut allergy and they didn't know the Peanuts contained PEANUTS since it wasn't on the label? So now, the manufacturer has to disclose that the Peanuts contain Peanuts so that people who are allergic to peanuts won't eat the PEANUTS??? (I tried to get a pic, but my camera wouldn't focus on the words)

Writer's Block

Sorry to "all" my readers for the lack of posts lately. I started a post about a terrible hair-cut experience, but the more I typed, the more I realized this is a very long story and most likely boring to any person reading it... so I never finished it, nor posted it.

I have had no motivation to write anything so I am MAKING myself write. Jim and I finally watched the movie, Fireproof. It was a hard movie for me to watch at the beginning due to the similarities with past experiences I have had, but once I got past that part it was a really good movie. If you are married, and haven't watched it (regardless of whether you are having marital problems or not) you should check it out. It's very good. When I told my mom and dad that we were going to watch it, my dad gave me a book (called The Love Dare) to go along with the movie. Jim and I decided, even though we have no marital problems, that we were going to commit to doing the love dare. It's 40 days of dares to help you be a better husband or wife. So far we have made it to day 12. In one sense, it's encouraging to find out that we don't have a lot of the problems that many couples face in this life, but it's also an eye opener (at least for me) to see how selfish I tend to be, and how giving and caring Jim is. I am really enjoying it though- if you want to read through the book (after you have seen the movie) I have a pdf version of it that I can share. Just let me know.

Hopefully this writer's block will clear up soon, and I can get back into posting more.
