Why…

…did Gabrielle back flip over Joseph, yesterday.

…were the kids testing my patience.

…did I fail every test.

…all day yesterday was I finding it hard to focus, stay on task, and be productive.

…was the Zumba class unorganized.

…after all of that did I find my self battling depression.

Well, this morning when I woke up , I asked Jesus to take all the things from yesterday. Help me to lean on and find rest in him. Only Jesus can control it, only he is Alpha and Omega.Thank you Jesus.

Aren’t you Ready for Summer?

It’s April and as I was thinking about what I was going to post, I also found myself wondering what me and the kids were going to do this summer. There is so much to do and I don’t want to spend every pay check on the kids fun activities. especially because I have little kids and they don’t care if we got out into the backyard and have a mud fight in the flower box. The youngest thinks that fighting his way out of a cardboard box is fun. But it lead me to thinking about how I used to spend my summer as a child, how I wanted to spend my summer, and In turn How I want my kids to spend the summer. We will probably end up going to the water park every other day cause that is free and they have a playset. Maybe we will only take one big field trip a week. Hmmm…..that ’s definetely something to think about…. All of this leads me to my question….What did you like to do in the summer when you were a child? What would you like your children to do? Sound off I am interested in hearing all the good activities and ideas for activities for my children to do.
