The slots DO NOT wake up refreshed

It’s 7:30 am and I’ve been up and playing the slots since 6:00 am.  Why?  Because somebody at work told DH that they always “reset” the slots at 6:00 when the day shift starts and you can really win BIG early in the morning.  He wanted to get up at 5:30 and go play and I told him he was crazy.

Sure enough, the alarm went off at 5:30 and he woke me up moving around the room and then brought me a cup of coffee (which was a ploy to get me to go with him).  I knew I wouldn’t get back to sleep so I went down to the casino with him.  Yesterday evening, I turned my $20.00 into $55.00 and called it a night.  This morning, I lost my $55.00 and an additional $20.00.  Now, instead of being $35.00 ahead, I’m down $40.00.  I know…I’m cheap.  I only give it $20.00 a day.

Thanks so much for all the supportive comments about the situation with T.  When it comes to matters of the heart versus the head, I do tend to go with the heart.  I don’t know if that’s always the smartest thing but, at least, if things go wrong, it isn’t because of not caring and that makes life’s mistakes a lot easier to take.

So, what do you do at 7:30 on a day off?  Guess we’ll go down and hit that free breakfast buffet.

10:00 am. - DH is asleep.  We went down to breakfast and then went back to bed for a while. I don’t do that very well.  Once I’m up, that’s pretty much it.  I tried to take a nap but finally gave up, took a long, hot soak with my MP3 player and Leona Lewis (”keep bleedin, I keep, keep bleedin..”)  Got a little philosophical and started thinking about the things I believe.  My beliefs are very strong.  I know they seem simple but they are the foundations of my life.  I can be absolutely devastated when one is challenged by others and I take it a lot harder than someone else might.  For example, I believe that people are good and kind.  When someone throws a rock through my car window, I have a hard time understanding that.  I know it’s just kids but I don’t see how anyone can be so thoughtless and mean and what would make them like that.  What else do I believe?

I believe love is the most important thing in life.

I believe children are gifts from God.

I believe I can be strong.

I believe in my marriage.

I believe in the healing power of a summer breeze.

I believe in kindness.

I believe moonlight is magic.

I believe people are good.

I believe God is loving.

I believe people are honest.

I believe in gardens.

I believe that parents love their children.

I believe nature is a thing of wonder.

I believe in hugs.

I believe in the power of music.

I believe trees can dance.

I believe I can get back on the wagon and do this.

What do you believe?

well first , I can’t believe your hubby believed that about the slots. Being in Vegas, I know alot of superstitions about hitting jackpots but never heard that one before.

I believe you have a strong willpower to be able to stop at just $20 like you said you would.

I believe you are kind, loving, funny and forgiving.

I believe my heart has been hardened living in a big city and surrounded by selfish, rude, and dangerous people. I’ve subjected myself to certain situations where I, or they, made the wrong choice. I’ve become easily judgemental, slightly racist and suspicious. I don’t trust people anymore.

I believe Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Through Him all things are possible!

Thanks for a great thought provoking post!

I’m not a gambler at all, so $20 a day sounds like a good amount to spend on play-time.

I believe that one of the most beautiful sights in the world is my children sleeping peacefully. I could just gaze at them for hours.

I believe that sitting on the beach for an afternoon is equal to a month of therapy.

I believe that Ben & Jerry, Little Debbie and Mrs. Fields are in allegiance with the devil.

What a great post. This really got me thinking. I loved reading your thoughts.

Here’s what I believe: I believe the children are our future. I believe that we should always be kind to each other because we do enough hurtful things on accident. I believe that there is a higher power and we are not alone no matter how lonely we may feel.

Thank you for the hug. It made me smile and feel special.

That was a wonderful post. It really caused me to think.
~I believe that life is a journey and a gift from God
~I believe that God sent His one and only Son down as a wonderful gift for us so that if we believe we will be saved.
~I believe that my husband and sons are a light in my life that bless me day by day and truly give me joy and purpose.
~I believe that there are some truly wonderful, kind, people in the world with beautiful hearts .
~I believe God gave us flowers, trees, a warm gentle breeze, children, spouses, love, a starry night, birds singing, dew on grass, and fireflies as a gift of beauty to cherish and hold onto in a world that could be so harsh and ugly without all of it.
~I believe in having a soul mate, the power of frienship and that we all have a BFF with a kindred spirit out there.
