3x Thursday

Random 1.
What kind of mattress do you like to sleep on? Hard, soft, medium, etc. Does it matter to you? Why/why not? I like to sleep on a really soft mattress! I want my bed to feel like I am sleeping on a cloud. The perfect bed has those water tubes with a pillow top and a feather bed on top of that with a down comforter to cover up with! Dreamy!

Random 2.
Is your mode of transportation (motorcycle, car, bike, scooter, etc) reliable? Do you ever have much trouble with it? I have a new Nissan Quest (mini-van) and it is reliable! It better be cuz we have only made 1 payment on it!

Random 3.
What kind of relationship do you have with your boss? Is it strictly business, or can you just hang out with them if you want to? I have lots of bosses! I work in home health, so the families I work for are my bosses and I also have a nursing supervisor. I don't know my nursing supervisor very well, but I do feel like I can hang out with the parents of the children I take care of. They are all really neat people and have taught me a lot about life!

Bonus Question for Comments:
Do you like your house/apartment/room/whatever? Got any complaints? I do like my house! It has it's problems, but it is my home and therefore my comfort zone! We need a new heater, better insulation, and it more storage space, but who doesn't need more space?!

Raider Game!









I got to go to my very first Raider game last Sunday! They didn't win, but they stayed in the game! I got to walk down to the first row in the stadium before the game and watch them practice, and even got to see Al Davis up close! I really enjoyed it and was one of 2 loud cheering Raider fans in my section. There were other fans, but none of them cheered very loud! I was a little bit surprised!

"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; Do not merely look out

I truly love this verse! It describes my philosophy on life completely. Not that I am able to live by this all the time, but it is what I strive for. With Jaxon, this is easy! I find myself not only wanting to put his wants, needs and desires before mine, but enjoying it! My life has become making him happy, by not only spending time with him, but looking for ways to make his life more enjoyable. I want him to have everything. I want him to have the nicest most comfy clothing, the best toys that are fun and aid in his development, and anything and everything that will either be enjoyable for him or aid in his growth and development! It is so exciting for me to think of all of the fun times we will hopefully have together as he grows. Along with the intense love I have for this incredible little boy, I also have anxiety about his safety ALL the time. In talking with my friends with children, I realize this in normal, but totally unexpected. I realize how detrimental it would be if I were to lose him. I worry about how I would survive without him, and this makes me realize just how horrific of an experience it is for people who have lost a child. Back to the topic--This verse came from a blogger's entry that started with the question "How do you say goodbye to somebody that you will never see again" WOW! What a scarey question! If it were anybody but Jaxon, I would let them know how important they are to me, and I would have to share some of the reasons, and some of the most special memories I have with the person. If it were Jaxon, it would be much more in depth than that. I am going to assume I was the person that was leaving this world for good (I can handle that a little bit better). I would leave lots of video messages for various occasions in his life, I would leave him birthday card and presents for every year, Christmas presents, too and lots of letters to go with milestones in his life. I would want him to have a little piece of his Mom with him on these occasions. Not because I am being selfish, but because I know how important my Mom is to me, and I know how much I would treasure a letter or gift from her if she were unable to be there to share my life with me!
