Swimming

So Liam started swimming lessons on Tuesday {Tuesday/Thursday
classes} ...yup...but I didn't get any pictures until
today...why...cause I was too busy cleaning Jaxsons vomit off the pool
deck on Tuesday......that my friends is the kinda week we're
having...next week HAS to be better

my you do have your hands full......

this is what EVERYONE who sees me with the 4 in tow says

here in lies the rub

I think that the mere mention that i am in over my head resonates somewhere within

and i begin to doubt.....for example

last night at Angelo's softball game, a nice work wife was watching my kids RUN WILD

then turned to me and

" man you must sleep well at night...they are ACTIVE"

well that was a fairly nice thing to say...im sure in no way meant to break me down

but what do you suppose happened

i got to thinking

....i am tired

...i am always tired

...they are a lot of work

...should i have to work so hard

then i felt like crying...then i took the kids to the car & CRIED

but as I was watching the laundry swirling in the washer this morning i thought to myself

Yeah, its a lot a work

yep, not every day is rewarding or even easy for that matter

but who's plan was it that my life should be EASY, 24-7 FUN

isn't the TRUE meaning of reward getting something for DOING {etc} something

so how then if I don't work....don't teach......don't clean.....don't do anything that I don't want to how then will i be rewarded & FOR WHAT

so

i gotta find some way not to get all flipped out when a somewhat silly OBSERVATION is made

maybe it'll go something like this

"MY you do have your hands full, don't you"

out loud I'll respond

"yup"

in my mind I'll say

" yeah FULL of ETERNAL REWARD"

......or something like that

Funny Monday

This morning a funny thing happened....We always talk about roasting
our little chunk....he's just one step ahead

****your turn****
