If this ain't the truth...

One of my friends had the above picture posted on facebook this morning. It cracked me up. It is so true! I don't have to more than sit down for a little bit and all of a sudden one of the kiddos needs a drink RIGHT NOW, needs to pee ASAP or they are HUNGRY!
Yep, the joy of motherhood ;) Wouldn't trade it tho', crazy as that may seem to some people :)

Wishing all of you moms, and everyone else too ;) a great day!

The yucks of life...

 This week has been a rough week - no sugar coating it! :) There's things ( yucks as I like to call them) that God has been asking me to deal with, things I don't understand. I wasn't ok with any of it either and I've been fighting it by being in a bad mood and grumpy!
  It really was bad because last night when we were playing the "Thomas Memory Game" with the kids, one of them flipped over the picture of "cranky the crane" and Joel just looked up at me and pointed at me - I got it - he really thought I was "cranky!" :) It's kinda funny now...
 This morning I sat down to have my devotions and simply cry out to God asking for His help. It's amazing what a little God time can do for a person!
 Did all my "rough" things fly away? No, not really but He's able to give me peace in the midst of the storm. And even tho' I'm still having to deal with the very same issues, I know God is with me, He'll give me the strength to deal with it!
 And in the mean time I want to let the pressure shape my life into a diamond that God can use at His dissposal. 

Wishing you guys a great week! :)
