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...

The Value of Family

As a wife and a mother sometimes life tends to slide right by you. Sometimes I hardly get all the things done that I want to. I've had to look at things a little differently lately, other wise my mind would be clustered with unsorted thoughts. Chad has been gone three times in the last couple months for work, wich means one less helping hand around the house. I am really blessed to have a wonderful husband that puts every effort into helping me when he can. Since he has been gone, I have tried figure out a way to play mommy and daddy at the same time! I do not know how single parents do it. There has been days that I have wanted to scream into a pillow, of course that's when I thought I had enough for that day. I can only wonder how single parents get when they had a bad day at work and then come home to the only thing that needs the most of their attention, their kids. Even then that parent has needs of their own, but no one else to turn to for support. Lately I have been tested by Emily. She is at this stage of being very stubborn. I know (T.T.S.P.) This To Shall Pass! The only thing I have been able to do is to pray for wisdom and patience in handling the kids, and to ask God to keep me from looking at it as situation or a negative thing. It is yet another chance to prove that He is the only way that I can truly do the things I do on a daily basis. It is possible to do all things when you know its not by your strength , but by the strength of God. I am so thankful that I have everyday to look forward to. I know no matter what comes of it, its worth every minute that I have to give as much as I can to make it a positive day. Thank you Chad for giving me this opportunity to find out that I am capable of," doing it on my own." Not that I that I want it to be regular thing. That wouldn't be my choice but, what ever is ahead of us, lets value every moment that we have together as a family.
