Day 3…More Or Less!
In case you were wondering why there wasn’t a post for yesterday, it’s because I really messed up the day by repeatedly getting into heated arguments with B. so I thought I needed to redo the day. So here is how day 3.2 went!
“Whatever you put your time, energy, and money into will become more important to you. It’s hard to care for something you are not investing in. Along wiht restraining from negative comments, buy your spouse something that says, ‘I was thinking of you today.’”
Well, we literally have $3 in our budget to get us through the next week and a half, but I was able to “buy” time for B. He works for West At Home in all of his spare time between his “real” job and his night job. I always ride him really hard about picking up as many hours as possible because we need the income so badly. Since I couldn’t give him anything else, I dropped his afternoon hours today so he could take a nap and play with the kids. He usually only gets about 3 hours of sleep a night so you should have seen his face with he had time to lie down! Big brownie points for me! I am honestly fretting over the $24 or so this cost us, but that isn’t as important as this, so I need to get over that.
As far as not saying anything negative, I did grouch at B. this morning before church. Orange juice got accidently knocked off the nightstand and ran down the wall, behind the bed and all over the floor and my papers. I snapped at him before I caught myself and got a grip. I did go back to apologize after cooling off for a few minutes while brushing my teeth. I need to really get a grip on my temper! I seem to say more negative than positive things!
One of the verses from today that I took to heart was:
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3
Best wishes until tomorrow!
