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.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
