My coworker and I were talking yesterday about Heaven and what will be. She has Cerebral Palsy that affects her legs. She has gone through so much in her life just to be able to walk. And walk she does.

We were talking about the joy of heaven and she was telling me a conversation she and her daughter had about her legs; how in heaven she'll be able to walk. She said she is so excited because she will be able to be 'normal'. What a feeling it would be to be able to walk around heaven.

I hated to disagree with her but I said 'P. you won't be walking in heaven.' She looked at me and said 'Yes I will.' I told her 'I have a feeling you will be too busy running and dancing to walk.' She beamed and said 'How wonderful that would be!'

This conversation got me thinking about my scar. I have a nice white scar running down the middle of my chest from my open heart surgery when I was 2 1/2. I love my scar. I proudly show it off. I think people who don't have scars look weird. It's something that has literally always been with me. The only people who have seen me before it are my parents and older siblings. I can't fathom what I'll look like once I get to heaven. I told my coworker I would probably ask God for a mirror and I won't be able to tear myself from it.

My coworker said I can have her seat at God's table in heaven, she won't need it she'll be too busy running, and I can put my mirror on it and stare at my perfect chest.

Can't wait.

Bored - B.O.R.E.D

I grew up in a house where my mom was a stay at home mom. Great, huh? Sure. But she watched TV ALL day. ALL DAY! While my siblings and I went outside and played she would be inside watching TV. After supper, she'd be inside watching TV. When we had to come in, we'd all sit and watch TV. Saturday's she'd be inside watching TV. When we would go on 'vacation' for the weekend (it was all my parents could afford) at a resort a couple hours away, my mom would spend the whole time in the room watching TV. I was bored then and am bored now.

I'm all for lazy days and quiet weekends, don't get me wrong. I do enjoy quiet time and mundane TV. I do have my favorites that I watch. TC has been on overtime the past couple months. At night it's just JT and I and he goes to bed at 7pm. I know some people wonder why not have him stay up later. The answer is he needs his sleep. He is an early bird (even if he goes to bed at 8pm or 9pm) and if he is up later he is Mr Crankypants the next morning.

This leads me to a long night of TV watching. And I'm getting bored. I'm not going to spend every night cleaning my house from top to bottom just to stay busy. I'm trying to find things to do at night. I'm going to find out and see if I can work overtime at home (we got approved to work overtime at work) since I can't stay late. If I can't, I'm wondering if there's anything I could do to make money those few hours a night. I'm wondering how I can make money with my blog. We're starting the IVF process and I'm sure it'll be great entertainment once I start giving myself shots. I just don't have a clue where to start. It's hard to know what is a scam and what actually works.

I guess I'll just keep looking. If you have any suggestions what I could be doing leave a comment and let me know.
