When you work in an office of any size and you have a break room you share with lots of co-workers, it can be a problem. I'm sure many of you who work in offices know exactly what I'm talking about. For the most part the fridge isn't an issue for me, because I try to stay out of the office drama!
Well, there is one thing that has been driving me crazy!! As it is getting colder I like to drink coffee in the morning, it warms me up (because this office is always FREEZING!). I also love the different flavored cream they have for coffee...especially right now with all the holiday varieties! As with most things, I don't mind sharing...but there is a catch. Number one, it's polite to ask someone before you share. Number two, if you are going to help yourself please clean up any mess you might make.
Whoever has been helping themselves to my cream ends up with it all over the bottle, and it makes a sticky mess! It's driving me crazy! I know, I shouldn't let little stuff like this bother me, but it really does. This morning when I fixed my coffee I cleaned it up again...and I'm sure when I get some tomorrow morning it will be the same way! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
OK, I'm done with my rant now!

What do you think??
I finally found a template I like...and after some tweaking I am happy with it. What do all of my blog readers think about it?
I played with the HTML a little bit, but I still can't figure out how to get the widgets on my sidebar closer together. Oh well, life goes on! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Working on it!
Ok, obviously I'm working on my template...and of course it deleted all of my widgets when I changed the HTML. I'll hopefully get them all back by the end of the night, if not definitely by tomorrow! Let me know what you think of the new template! I think I kind of like it! :)
I wonder...
I often find myself thinking about Alexa and what she will be like as she gets older. I love the little personality she is forming, even when she tells me no or shakes her head it's really cute. It's also super hard not to laugh at her when she is doing something she shouldn't do. I love her more and more every day, and it breaks my heart when she does something she shouldn't do and she gets in trouble.
It is truly a feeling you can only understand once you have a child. I only want the best for her, and hopefully she will be able to learn from some of the mistakes I have made.
As I sit here I think back on some of the things I've done, and what pain it must have caused my parents. It certainly wasn't my intention, but it's so hard to see that until you're on this side of it. I'm sure there are going to be many times in the future when it's that way with Alexa, I hope I will do as good a job of handling those situations as my parents have.
I see so much of her in myself...when she grins and giggles at me when I say no. It's so something I would've done! Probably still do. I hope she has some of my good qualities too.
I am so thankful that I serve a God of second chances! I am also thankful that He gave me wonderful Godly earthly parents who have given me more second chances than I can count! I don't deserve any of them, but that's how amazing He is. As we approach this Thanksgiving holiday that is what I'm thankful for this year...second chances! We all need them, and don't deserve them, but He gives them to us anyway. What an AWESOME God!
