How can a microwave mirror your life?

It seems funny to compare life to a microwave, but somehow they are very similar in how they relate. I was standing here making my lunch, well heating it up and wandered how a minute could take so long. Then proceeded to check the temperature of my food after I heard the beep and found myself rather disappointed when the outside was hot and the middle was still cold. It looked done from the outside and on the inside it hadn't even began to heat up. I just then realized that I am sorta like this piece of food. I look ready on the outside, when on the inside I am still at a chilling stage. I thought about for a minute and thought no that's not true, I am warm on the inside and getting hotter by the minute. I am developing into the women God has called me to be. Quite often I want to have it all together right away(done cooking) like that microwave, but sometimes it just takes time to become that women that God has promised me to be. So in the mean time I am going to try to look at each day as God is preparing me for the "big feast". It takes lots time to prepare all the different types of dishes and put them in order for a grand dinner, or life as I see it.

Hair today, Blonde tomorrow

Do you ever feel like your world just flies by you?
These days life is changing on a daily basis. Sometimes I wonder if my kids can have more mood changes then the ever rising current temperature outside. I love summer because of late nights out on the patio with a big glass of ice tea and a good conversation, wait I am dreaming... The kids are in bed finally and I am trying to collect my thoughts on what exactly I did today. How does fourteen hours go by so fast?

Well it starts with two eating breakfast witch leads into play time. One lays down for a nap, the other is still playing. Then we have the battle of the second one not taking a nap which then wakes up the first sleeper, well now its lunch. After lunch the second one is now the sleeper and the first one the player. Now the player is tiered and wants to be the sleeper and the second sleeper wants to be the player, oh yah dinner. Ok, catch your breath...The first sleeper is back napping and the second is back playing and the mom??? Ok, It seems a little crazy, but it is still under control...I think?? The first sleeper is now an eater along with the second player. Now we have the first and the second eaters ready to be players, no please, help, make them sleepers!!!!

That's a wrap, call it a day! I have one last thing. As you turn in for the night as a sleeper, remember it started with eaters that turned into players, that turned into playsleepers, that turned into sleeppayers, that turned into eaters, that turned into players into sleepers. Yes to you moms out there, if you are like me, I am starting to get those mature looking hairs on my head. I could very well be blonde by tomorrow. If you know what I mean...

Determination - On the Move

Today was the first time I saw Dillon so determined. He headed to the stairs with a huge smile on his face. Only moments later did he master the climb. Two steps and his world changed forever. I can only imagine what he was feeling like in his little 9 month old body. I was so proud myself. I then watched as he figured out how to sit on the step like his big sister Emily (who is 21 months old.) Dillon could not contain himself, he was so excited he stood up and tried to walk. Right then it was over!! Yes, his excitement turned into rug burn of the chin... Owe! That hurts! He recovered well with the cheering of his sister and mommy saying," Wow!!! Dillon you took your first step!!" I must say with all the energy he expended, he went back for more. How is it when we were put up to a challenge as a child we were so determined. But as we get older it becomes easier to quit and look the other way. I know that's not the case for everyone of course. I am looking at it as a challenge for myself to not let things hinder me from reaching whatever is put in front of me, even if it is only two steps to get to get there. May we all be as determined as a child is, it is only the natural thing to do.
