Thank goodness for Dad's!

So tonight my little boy turned two (actually I have another 20 minutes but who's counting). My mom offered to cook Rex his favorite meal (mac & chess) for dinner so we went to their house where we ate and he got more gifts from them and cake and ice cream. We headed home around 8:30 which is normally Rex' bed time but due to all the sugar he had he wasn't quite ready. So I get home and unload Rex and his presents and some of my stuff and head to the front door. I put my key in the lock, turn it and then try to open it and it won't open. I try again. Still nothing. I shake the door really hard trying to get in and nothing. I freak my neighbor out so he comes out and tries the key and more shaking and nothing. So it's time to call my dad. Being that he has worked in home remodeling for years and has his own business I figured he can help. He shows up and tries the keys and shaking and nothing. He says, "I guess I will be replacing some trim tomorrow" and tries to "kick" the door in and then realizes that we have some kind of special lock that makes that extra difficult (or so he says).  Luckily, I had left our front windows open because of the nice weather so he crawled over our railing and leaned over the huge, deep window well for the downstairs window and pulls the screen out and jumps through my window and pulls himself the rest of the way through. He figures the hard part is over until he tries to open the door from the inside and it still won't work. He gets out my pink tool bag he bought for me several Christmas' ago and takes the door knob off and still won't open. My neighbor Paul has to "kick" the door while my dad is behind it trying to moved the parts of the lock to get it open. It finally works and the door slams into my dads knee. I finally get in the house and get Rex into bed while my dad is running home to get a new part for the door so I can lock it tonight. Once again Thank goodness for Dad's! I don't know what I would have done without him tonight with Miah out of town. For everyone that has a great dad make sure they know how much they mean to you because they will always come to your rescue no matter the problems you present for them!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
