A couple days ago, my husband and I celebrated being married for eight years! That might not sound like a lot of years for some people, but we've done a LOT in these past eight years. We've had three children, moved quite a few times, had a few different cars and overcame a LOT of things. I can truly say that I am one of the luckiest women in the entire world. I've not only married my soul-mate, but he's also my best friend in the entire world. The Love of my life!
The other day on the radio, the song "Un-answered Prayers" came on. It occurred to me, that its not that GOD doesnt answer some prayers, its just that he may not answer them the way that YOU want him to. We have to remember that GOD sees the big picture, and we only see a few feet ahead..and to be 100% honest with you.... I am so THANKFUL that God sees the big picture!
.
School starts in a little over a week, and I can't believe that my kids are as old as they are now. They really do grow up fast...Then the youngest, she's just a little cutiepie.... Its amazing to be able to see a baby grow day by day.. With the first two, I think I rushed it. I kept thinking "I can't wait till....." blah blah blah.
With this one... I cherish it. I don't get frustrated at her cries, I don't really tire of holding her. Although, I think my husband holds her more than me. I dont like to let her cry. I know all about Cry it Out and all that good stuff, but really, she doesnt cry much at all. When she's got a bellyache or hungry is really the only time she is fussy...
She's almost 11 weeks now and she's starting to teeth already.. I can't believe she's got a little tooth that looks like shes about to cut..Poor thing!! I've never seen a baby so young get a tooth before...
Well thats the past few days in a nutshell!! GOD BLESS!
This is about my everyday ventures as a Christian Woman, Wife and Mommy in todays world.

Another day.
Is it bad that I am SO READY for school to start back? I mean, I absolutely LOVE having my son home all summer long, but this year, my daughter starts school as well. Which means, We'll only have ONE little one at home! I konw that sounds wierd, because the past year and a half, my oldest daughter has been home, but she was already in her Miss Independent, Sassy, Diva girl ways.
We;ve never just had "ONE KID" at home, in many ways. Our middle daughter was born when our son was only 15 months old, so they've always been much like twins! Doing everything together..and I mean everything from fighting to loving to playing tricks on mommy and daddy to having the same friends! This year, our daughter gets to actually make HER OWN FRIENDS!
I think what I love most about the school year is its scheduled! Structured! and we are in a set Routine! We wake up the same time everyday. Get dressed, eat breakfast, and head to school.
During the summer, as much as I love getting to sleep in, it just means the rest of the day is filled with screams and fighting from the older two.
Im so looking forward to a few minutes of peace! Even with having an almost three month old.
I have so many things Im looking forward to doing.. Finally doing a few scrapbooks (I AM SO FAR BEHIND)...actually getting a decent workout in.. It currently takes me about an hour and a half for a 30 minute workout.
My biggest thing is..Which workout.. P90x, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, or just running for now. I love love love love love the wii fit! Its the best, but it doenst seem to burn as many calories as I like, although I am up to six minutes of hula hooping! :) (Its the little things, isnt it!) Of course, the six minutes of hula hooping isnt going to burn off the delicious slice of cheese cake and the huge meal from Steak-Out that I had earlier! Ha!
I guess, I can be happy that I've down to less than what I was prior to getting pregnant with Sweet baby #3.
But I really need to tone up! :) ALOT!
Till next time....Tell your family that you love them! Especially your kids! Don't let them go to bed, thinking that you are mad at them! Cherish them while they are young! Cherish them no matter how hard it is!
God Bless!

Remember when.......
Remember when........
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a mom and wife. Growing up, even though there were a few things I wanted to be when I grew up... I knew it would never last. My ultimate goal, was to get married and start a family...
That is EXACTLY what I did. I went through several different things growing up. I wanted to be an olympic gymnast. I wanted to be a physical therapist. I wanted to be a school teacher. I never, that I can remember, wanted to be an astronaut, or anything like that.
I ALWAYS wanted to be the cool mom, the mom who had fresh baked warm brownies or cookies sitting on the counter when the kids came home from school. The house where ALL the kids wanted to hang out.
So...WHAT HAPPENED? Well, I did meet the man of my dreams and get married and start a family..
But, my goals are NOT to be the cool mom on the block where all the kids want to hang out. In fact, I don't know why, but I really don't LIKE having a bunch of kids over at my house. What if someone gets hurt? among other things that go through my mind....
I've only had brownies on the counter a couple of times... (and they were made the night before).
Life happened, thats what. I just cant seem to get motivated to cook those afternoon brownies...or Im too tired, or time slipped away...
Some parts of me still wants to be that person... The person like my mom was when I was little. The mom who had so much patience, and cleaned all day long, everyday..had cookies on the counter, didnt mind having all mine and my brothers friends over.... her house was spotless (still is).
3 kids later and still have no clue how to be a mom like my mom was/is.
So how does a mom, who has small kids, or kids varying in age, get everything done, laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, and STILL have time to make those brownies for when her kids get home from school?
How does one learn to deal with it, and expand her patience? How does one get OVER the fact that she doesnt really want a bunch of kids at her house and LET her kids be kids and enjoy having their friends over?
How How How How.....?
