I am not the only one!

Here is a moment of honesty for you whether you want it or not. Some days I feel like I am going to fall apart and I only have two children!!! I don't know how single mothers or mothers of many children do it! I applaud them. Really, I do! Some days I am able to keep up with the laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, cooking, working part-time from home, running a business from home, and....other days I am not. I feel like something always has to give and it differs from day to day. Is anyone else out there dealing with similar issues? Surely you are! Anyway, I found this blog today from Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy and had to share a VERY refreshing post. It totally made my day and now I know that at least one other mom is in the same boat. phew!

On a different topic, my sister has Mia for a few hours today and let me tell you, I feel like I can tackle the world. Ashley is here, sleeping, but I still feel like I can finish my to-do list and anything else that comes my way. How silly that one child out of the home makes me feel so energetic! Just imagine what I could accomplish if BOTH of my little girls visited someone for an entire day. Oh me, oh my. I must get going then and work and then try to do what I can. I'll be back later with pictures.

I found ONE way to fix my problem.

So, my last blog mentioned that I have a problem with spending too much time on the computer checking in on my favorite websites and blogs. Well, I found one way to cure it. Take a sick child with breathing problems, add Bronchitis and Bronchiolitis to the mix, a handful of medicines and breathing treatments that require me to keep a chart and... voila, no time for a computer...let alone a life! My little girl Ashley is sick again and it is frustrating considering she just got over her last bout a few days prior to starting this all over again. At least this time we haven't had to go to the hospital. I'm learning a lot about this phase she is in and have started to get used to sleeping in her room on three cushions. : ) What a mother won't do for a child. I said all of that to say that I have not been on the computer so that is why I haven't been around. I'm praying Ashley will be better soon and I can move back to MY bed. This has given me a new appreciation for health and I have been thanking him daily for that gift of a healthy family.

I think, no, I KNOW I have a PROBLEM!

I did it again! I sat down at my computer to read through my email and check on a few blogs and websites that I love to visit almost everyday, and then....wham....I realize I almost blew threw another HOUR! Where does the time go? This online stuff is addictive!! Do you agree? There are so many wonderful websites and blogs that time just zips away and low and behold I spent more time than I should have peeping into other people's lives. I'm not a peeping tom mind you. They put it on the internet to share ya' know. Anyway, I was just telling that I wasted a wee bit of time and now I'm off to clean the kitchen and put the toys away that collected in the nooks and crevices of the house all day.

Here is a blog that I found which made me want to come along side of them and lift them up in prayer. Please consider praying for this family. The Hall Family.
