The True Life of a Mom

The true life of a mom is not one of ease but one of much sacrifice.

Right now I'm sacrificing sleep & I'm dwindling fast.

On days like this one I wonder why I even try to take the relaxed way instead of just pushing through & roughing out the rest of the day.

Days like this one feel like my job is never ending, which I know its not, but I can't even get a hour vacation to take a nap, even with M home watching the boys.

So to all the moms out there that have to push through & keep moving when there body is protesting otherwise know that there are so many of us out there doing the same thing.

Find strength in God to keep you moving. To get dinner cooked, to clean the bathroom, fold & put away laundry, and vacuum (the short version of my to do this) all while trying to manage the kiddos who want to help or destroy the hard work we are doing.

Our lives are one of true sacrifice to our husbands and our children that they will cherish even if its not today.

So now I'm going to get out of my bed with my exhaustion & headache to go make a heart shaped meatloaf for dinner on this Valentines day because I know that Rex with think its special & maybe one day when he's older & has a family of his own they will make a Valentines meatloaf & think back with fond memories of his childhood & appreciate all the sacrifices his mom made for him.

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...
