Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Mom joy



Mac fun at Uncle Jevonn's March 2010
  
Jeff doesn't work on Fridays.
Usually then, Thursday nights are late nights for us.
So Friday mornings are a nice break from our 4:45 am routine.
The kids still have school though.
Yesterday I rolled out of bed at 7:45.
The bus comes at 8:10.
To my complete joy!!
I found my kids fixing their own fried eggs,
dressed from head to toe,
backpacks and coats ready,
vitamins and fish oil taken,
and getting along all at the same time.
Was I in the Twilight Zone!!??
I praised their responsibility and completely gushed over them.
Sometimes I feel like a big mom loser.
I do things that I want to erase from everyone's mind.
Yesterday I felt marvelous!!!
In fact right now my girls are in the kitchen cleaning!!!!
I didn't ask.
I just heard Whit say,
"Saturdays we should clean the fridge"
My heart just went pitter patter.
 
LOVE IT!!!
ps We surprised the kids yesterday with a Rango matinee.
It was okay.
I won't say it was good.
It was littered with the words hell and damn,
I was VERY disappointed.

    That sucks that Rango was like that. I would have been disappointed to take my kids and then have all that in it. That's so neat that everyone was making breakfast and taking vitamins and doing what they should do to help out!
