It's great to be back! It has been a while since my last post when my computer crashed:( Alot has changed at our house: Two of my kiddos have had birthdays: Dd is 9 (what happened to my baby?) and Ds#1 is now 6 (boo-hoo) Dd #2 is about to turn 2 on this Saturday although she has acted like she was 5 for the last 6 months and Ds#2 will be turning 4 in August. We are also so to say that we are excited about welcoming a baby girl to the family in July!!! Praise the Lord! The thought that God would choose to give us another child is truly a blessing. If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would have had 5 children (we lost two by miscarriage) I would not have believed you. I had my agenda and it did not involve being a stay-at-home, homeschooling mommy. Oh thank God for his grace and mercy.!! Don't ask me how I will get it all done because I haven't figured that out with the 4 I already have. I've finally figured out that it's not so much about getting it all done as it is about being obedient to the Lord and doing my best with the time that I have. I can be my own worst enemy . The pregnancy is going great! The first trimester I had nausea, the 2nd it was great because I had energy and now it the final stretch I am dealing with fatigue. I get up some mornings with the lofty idea that I am going to organize the WHOLE house! I put on my apron and get to work pulling out everything only to find that by the end of the day fatigue kicks in and I have a bigger mess than what I started with. Why do I bite off more than I can chew? It must be the nesting bug or something. I have 2 months to get the house in order before Miss Lady shows up. I am not rushing the time away because there is much to be done. My hormones have been crazy. I am sensitive to everything. I know it's never an excuse to sin but that has been the hardest thing to deal with this pregnancy. Homeschooling has been a journey because this year I have two officially in school and two very energetic toddlers on the loose. I've tried the special box to be only taken out at school time but their attention span isn't very long. I am getting alot of practice in having patience. I am now reading through Managers of their Homes by Terri Maxwell. It's probably my third time reading it. I feel like I really need to get something in place before the baby comes. I have a schedule all written out but now the thing is to implement it. I feel like I need to de-clutter and organize before I can get started. Otherwise, their always seem to be things to be done that takes away from the schedule. I realize that if everything doesn't have a place and its a headache to keep up with it all then that's a good indication that I don't need some of this stuff right now and it could be blessing someone else. I will try to update my blog weekly as time permits. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone. Have a great God blessed Day! |
