A DAY IN THE LIFE (By Mrs. I Define Me)

Morning prayers - I'm grateful for

The blessings of my life

My children, grandchildren, & hubby

And the Gospel of Jesus Christ

"Please help me Lord - I'm muddling through

I need guidance & light from above

Please bless my family, neighbors, and friends

Help me feel and reflect thy love"

At least a little scripture reading each day

I've been doing this for years

I'm amazed at the difference it makes for me

I feel the spirit and often shed tears

If hubby is home I climb back in bed

"Do you want to go with me for my walk?"

Sometimes he will go... but mostly

He just wants to "cuddle" and talk

When he's working he's up at 4:30 am

Working long days and far from home
I miss him and he misses me
But we're used to this 'being alone'

If hubby is gone, which he quite often is

I'm up at the break of dawn

I wish I could sleep in but I'm just like my Dad

So I put my walking shoes on

Well, sometimes I don't - I just step out in my robe

I sit on my front porch and breathe

I love the fresh air, it's a great start to the day

Deep breathing is important to me

And so A Day in The Life begins

Good intentions - but I confess

There's always a list - but when hubby is home

We play it by ear and ignore the mess

There's the family, yard, bills, and all that

The same stuff I guess everyone's got

But we're not really strict and when hubby is home

We go to Costco and dine out a lot. 

Because my Mr. is a popular guy

Everyone wants to spend time with him

He's got fix it jobs for family and friends

Such a good guy, he spreads himself pretty thin

There's always some business and work on the side

But he somehow finds time to fish

Or hunt (in season of course), or camp in the hills

A professional sportsman would be his 1st wish

Oh, he likes me too - I know this for sure

We hang out, laugh, and have lots of fun

I tell him, "If I could choose again....

For me, he would still be The One"

Sometimes we have fights - well disagreements I'd say

But we mostly communicate well

We pray together alot and have common goals

That's how we made it through those years from hell

I think we appreciate what we have now

Mr. IDM's a strong and wonderful guy

We're surely not perfect, but I think we're great

We love our interesting life

As I already said - we like to dine out

But when we cook together it's fun

I do the veggies and fruits and healthy stuff

He does the meat and gravy for one

He's not into "clean eating", he thinks I am wierd

But someday he'll see the light

And give up his Coke, Mt. Dew, & treats

Then he won't suffer from heartburn at night

So here's a little bit of truth, I hope he'll forgive me

For telling on him just a bit

My side of the garage is organized and in totes

But if I clean up his side he'll throw a fit

Some days when he's away I get a whole lot done

It's my time and I usually work

But sometimes I really don't do much at all

Except prayer, scriptures, dishes, and facebook

My day often consists of running here and there

It seems I'm often just putting out fires

But I'm glad to take time to shop a little at Kohl's

Gotta use that Kohl's cash before it expires

I do some yoga, sometimes swim at the pool

I have big plans to get into this blog

I have projects piled up and I'm writing a book

But mostly I'm stuck in a fog

I read stuff online - mostly health and self help

I read blogs that I truly adore

It's seems I'm quite busy - I volunteer each week

and I plan to volunteer alot more

We have one still at home, and some married kids too

We have grandchildren that are such a joy

We had only granddaughters until last year

We were finally blessed with a boy

We get together for shows, for dinners, and such

Vacations, camping, boating and family fun

But mostly everyone is doing their thing

Work, school, and church keeps us all on the run

We are all faced with trials, we are probably like most

we think we have more than our fair share

We have been through alot, but we're surviving it all

2014 was difficult year

We are grateful to God for the tender mercies we've seen

Without prayer it would have been grim

We believe in the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ

We have truly been blessed by Him

Each Day In The Life of Mr. IDM and his wife

God is called upon through humble prayer

We testify that He is real

So grateful that He's always there

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ~~~ WE'RE BACK

Hi friends - Mrs. I Define Me here...

Hey - this is really, really hard.  I have no idea what to say but I know with all my heart that we need to get back to this blog.  I have had several dreams that have confirmed this feeling (and I believe in dreams) :)  We love our readers and we have missed you.

Actually, we're amazed that we continue to have readers (pageviews) and we truly appreciate those who have stuck with us and shared our blog with others even though we have not been writing for a year and a half.

I won't get into it much, but let me just say that we have had a whirlwind of a year and a half (2013-2014). Our family has faced some devastating trials, that, by the way, have had nothing to do with same sex attraction or marital issues (in that department - we're good), and we have needed to focus all of our energy on other things; some job related, and some devastating events.

Family comes first and, of course, we wouldn't have it any other way.   Our family is everything to us, they are our world and our reason for living, and with God as our Father and Jesus Christ as our Savior we continue to rely on the gospel of Jesus Christ and constant prayer for guidance, comfort, and love.  The time is NOW to return to our blog and I know Heavenly Father will show us the way.

We want to share, we want to help if we can, and we want to do The Lord's work.  We love the SSA community and will continue to share with our readers and will surely learn from you as well.  For a while, it will probably be a lot of me writing since Mr. I Define Me's job takes so much of his time (alot of time away from home), but I will make sure to keep him in the loop and I know he will have lots of input and will be involved in all of our posts.

So, we're back ~~~~~~~
now what?   -- Any ideas?  :)
