Daddy is home, YAY!

My love made it back home to me

so we have been having alot of

family time together, sweet!

Here the kids are by my in-laws azaleas,

we are going to move the camper

to their back yard and stay there for awhile.

Spent some time at the park, got some CUTE

pictures of the kiddos by the bayou.

In a few more weeks the moving out will begin

so I may be off for awhile until we get

 moved out of the house.



"The Pain of Motherhood"

I read an article in a magazine this week

that I enjoyed and could relate to.

"I love my children so much that at times

it hurts. Mothering brings me so much

joy, yet it is the most frightening and

overwhelming task imaginable."

Oh these words are oh, so TRUE.

I find myself worrying over EVERYTHING!

When my kids are sick or hurting

I'm sick and hurting for them.

My oldest gets poison-ivy pretty

much every year, no one else gets it,

all because I got it when I was

pregnant for him, he gets it.

And this week it was around his

eye making him miserable...

Praying that all my teaching will

stick and they will grow up

loving/walking with the Lord.

My two younger boys found some

boxes while I was packing this

week and made helmets out of them

and had a play fight with sticks.

Makes me think of 

soldiers for the LORD...

And will they love me even after

all the mistakes I'll make

along the way of being a mom?

My lil' girl is always saying

"I help" and wants to do everything

I do, it's so sweet and loving

but, will she always want to help?

I just hope and pray God will give

me all that I need to mother them well.

Six Weeks Without My Love...

 Been 6 weeks now since my love walked out the door
to work away from home, which made me a "Single Mom".
  *The first week is always hard, adjusting to no daddy and
no help for me can get overwhelming at times. We had
an Ice Storm that week and my washer pipe froze...
  *Week two we see now that it's just the 5 of us and we
pull together and become a team, I guess really we just
get use to the idea daddy is not around...
  *Then when week 3 comes along I start slipping and it
gets harder doing it all, or it's trying to potty-train a lil'
21 month old girl! And I got sick so nothing got done...
  *Okay so I made it to a month now, and the boys are
doing terrible in school, it's a fight every day! Trying to
pack when the warmer out-doors is calling me, no help...
  *Then at 5 weeks I say "that is it" we stop everything
pack up the SUV and take that 4 hour trip to see daddy.

We had a good time; playing at the park, going shopping,
eating-out and just spending time as a "Family", we have
missed him these past six weeks. :~)

So thankful we went, but now its time to get back to work
going to be busy, BUSY for we will be signing papers and
closing on our house in about a week or so....it's time to
move out and start over making a home at a new place.
