Out of the mouth of babes.....

This morning when I woke up at 4:00 am to begin my day I was in a really crappy mood (I don't really do mornings all that well). So I got myself ready and sat down with my coffee trying to get in a good mindset when my daughter woke up unexpectedly. So there she stood, dragging her pink Buddie behind her and sucking her thumb looking just as tired and crabby as I'm sure I did. I said, "Good morning baby," and she looked at me and told me out of the clear blue "Don't worry mommy - it'll be okay cause you're the best mommy in the whole world!". Let me tell you how much that made my day! With one sentence my whole day started over and I felt like the luckiest, and most happy person ever. I fully believe that it's these moments, the one's that make you step back and re-evaluate exactly what you have to be grateful for that make all the negative things seem so small and unimportant. For all of my classmates who are lucky enough to be parents I hope that when you are feeling down and out you remember that God has given you a gift that is a never ending source of complete happiness.

Still trying to fix my mistakes!!!!!

Although I just posted a blog an hour ago I'm posting another one. Still trying to play catch up and hoping I'm going to win. Here I sit thinking of ways to make extra hours in the day. If you have any ideas, please do not hesitate to tell me - I can use all the help I can get :) The saying that the Lord doesn't give you things that you can't handle is blowing my mind at the moment. The omnipotent being above must think I'm made of stone cause he's loaded enough on my shoulders to crumble a mountain. I try to keep a postive outlook, but lately it's been difficult. I count my blessings that I found a place to live, and my children are healthy, safe, and happy. I also thank God that I now have 3 more chilren to love. I have a good man who wants to help me better myself and loves me for me. Sometimes though it seems the price may be too high to pay for those blessings. 5 children (and sometimes it seems like 6) a new job which takes up the bulk of my time during the week, school work which I'm behind on, daily household duties, the responsibilities that come along with living on my own now: its a little overwhelming. Nothing worth while comes easy though, and I know that things will turn out the way there supposed to!

Playing catch up

It has been a really rough time lately - trying to deal with a place to live, and a new job as well as adding 3 new children to my family. Unfortunately that meant that my school work came to a complete stand still. I am now in the postition where I have to make up 3 weeks of work. This should prove to be a fun time in which I am most likely going to end up going completely nuts. I am going to try my best to do all I can to come back and get the best grade I possibly can!
