Who Would Have Thought...

Who would have thought that life would be more crazy here at home than when I was in Oklahoma helping get a wedding together and then caring for four boys 5 and under?
Not me that's for sure!
But instead of coming home and going back to my normal everyday schedule with the boys I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!
First trying to get life caught up from being gone for two weeks. Getting new phones that actually work, trying to get things unpacked (there is still plenty in the car), making a plan for the busy week ahead and then contacting everyone that I had said "let's talk when I get back." I think I will never use that phrase again!
Then Monday was helpful wife day which I love doing but I was really planning on spending the day getting unpacked and caught up on housework. When the hubby's home and we're gone the house needs some attention. But instead I loaded up the kids and drove around town for 3 hours taking pictures because the hubs just couldn't find time to get it done.  Helpful wife days occur more now that we own our own business. I'm really looking forward to the day we can hire someone.
On top of all that I spent the day today at my nephews school getting ready for summer with Aunt Kari! Yes doesn't it sounds like fun? One of the teachers said "Oh you're the mean aunt he's spending the summer with" when she introduced herself. She was teasing but now I know what ny nephew thinks of me. One day he'll be thankful and that's all that matters to me.
And the rest of the week just keeps going! I have to be up and out of the house tomorrow by 6am so I can be on time to a volunteer event, Thursday is library day and we have to go because we have books due back, and then Friday is our homeschool group meeting where we are to share our homeschool goals that I have yet to even think about. Oh, did I mention I'm the leader on Friday?
And yes in case you're wondering my weekend is packed full as well. And so is next week. And come to think of it my summer is booked solid with activities for Monkey and my nephew not including the school work we have to get accomplished. 
We will need prayers in our family for strength and quality rest. Oh and wisdom for me.

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...
