The Mommy in all of us- well me!....

* This pic has really nothing to do with this blog-

emotion-ally I sometimes can feel like Em's feeling- Just feeling down and while everyone around me is smilin- I DON'T want to be bothered!! :) LOL!! sorry Em - too funny, since I didn't know she was REALLY wanted to just go to bed, not smile with MOMMY!! ;) ANYWAY.........

I read this, this morning and thought, "Wow, this is totally something I would say!", .....

My Lord cares! He cares when I feel like a failure. He cares when I feel like my education and training have led me to nothing but a sink full of dishes. I think he smiles when I mop up spilled milk at each meal. I think he smiles when he hears a resounding "YUCK" in response to a new recipe I tried. He smiles and gives me gentle words of encouragement. - Janice Kempe

This is sooo true!! I have ( our family) has been having a hard time adjusting to the full swing of upcoming fall- which as of right now I am waiting for my Oct 5th garage sale to even GET to my fall decoration so Jules- U beat me by a LONG shot in decorating!!! LOL!! With sports, Awana's, horseback, chorus- all things that come with having 4 children who are growing up and exploring what it is they like, hectic in a way ( we have something everyday but Saturdays and those fill up fast!), but I truly do love watching every moment of seeing my "babies" doing what they love. Lately though I have had to put household chores ( cleaning) on the back burner and that gets to me sooo much!! I know, I know relax, don't worry about it and I have tried NOT to, but when I had some friends over for playtime and lunch I was so embarrassed that we have a HUGE thing of boxes still in out dinning room from Jaxson's big boy bed and desk ( will blog about this at a later date, but he LOVES it!!) scrapbook stuff all over the dinning room table ( YES Sue and Nic I am getting ready to come scrap!) , our back yard FULL of weeds that need tending, and just more clutter in my house than I like ( Yes I DO have issues with EVERYthing needing to be in it's place LOL!!) so all that said I know that my friends still like me even when my house is in disarray and I do find it pretty amusing that God is watching over me, smiling at the spilled milk Jaxson JUST spilled all over floor that I JUST mopped last night and that He is probably laughing when my sweet husband decides to shave his head just HOURS after I clean the whole master bath from top to bottom ( NO LIE!- It's like when u wash your car it rains- when I clean our bathroom- he shaves is head!!LOL) So all of this said I am TRYING to work on letting some things go and to enjoy my FAVORITE time of year- fall ( if it ever gets a little cooler!) bring on the smores, fires, hot chocolate, cook outs, late night movie-popcorn night with my kids, decorations, family themed night ( I know we r a little CRAZY!!), and best of all knowing that my God is smiling down on everything I do mess and all!!! Hope everyone has a great day - we are off Hilton Head this Sunday through next Saturday ( YESSSSSS!!!) so love ya all and Holly and Carrie- If possible can u wait until I come back to have those babies??!! Can't wait to meet both of them!! :)
