Busy week

It's been a busy week for me this week. It started out with Bailey and I going to my parents Ranch for the day. We had a good time, meet some of the new family members.


After that, I worked Tuesday and went to bed early which was super sweet.

Wednesday I played Guitar Hero World tour and you better believe me when I say " I rocked it HARD!" Did you believe me? Meh, ok.

Thursday was back to the grind at the ole job and then just some at home time with Josh and Baister. One of our dear friends had surgery that night so we spent some time praying for her and her husband. Friday I got to go spend some time with them at their home which was good times for me. Josh missed out and well you know he was jealous, AND we all know what I say about that.... "Jealousy is a stinky, stinky cologne." He got to join us saturday and sunday to hang with those folks though. Word.

Today is Dad's 52nd birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!! We got him a funny cow poop related card, a farm workers shirt and I took this picutre of Bailey for him. She is wearing his boots and my mom's hat. When I gave him the picture he just passed it around with a partial grin on his face thinking it was cute and all. It wasn't until about an hour or so later he found out it wasn't just a post card but it was actually Bailey. That made it more special. Here's that picture.

Thanks for stickin' it out with me not having blogged in a while.
I'm sure I will be having much more to blog about coming up, things are about to be changing and life is about to become more interesting for the Balogh Bunch so you will want to stay in the loop!
Love yall!

My stupid mouth....

Do you ever feel like you just talk to much? I don't think this is a problem that most people have but man, it's me all over the place. I don't even feel like I shuld post this blog because in essence, it's me "talking AGAIN".
I have great friends that are most patient for sure. Every time I hang up the phone or get done "chatting" with someone I feel it. I have once again dominated the conversation. I can't shut up. I want to be a good listener and to some degree I think I am but it must come across to other people as being a know it all and "she can't even wait till I'm done talking to say something else"
I am totally convicted by this.... Brenda, be quiet, let others speak, you will learn a lot. Brenda, be quiet, let God speak to you. Brenda, be quiet, listen and let others share their burdens. Brenda, shut your mouth and don't make this awkward, you don't know everything.
I've always been a talker. I can go on for days probably and I most likely sound stupid for the ways I can go around in circles, most likely contradicting myself at every bend.
This is not being mean to myself or feeling "condemned" but just a writen reminder to put others first, that even means in conversation. Be selfLESS, realize my stories aren't always the best ones. Let other's wisdom fall on me. Let me learn from lives of friends, parents, coworkers and the like.
The end.
