I'm Tired.

I have had a lot of people ask me to start writing here again.  Honestly, I have missed it. I just don't feel like I have enough time. Which is dumb, because I can make time for something that makes me happy.

Between being a wife, mom, full time student, housekeeper, chef, personal shopper, chauffeur, entertainment specialist, dish washer, dog walker, lunch maker, laundry maid, therapist, teacher, diaper changer, pee-cleaner-upper, nurse, milk maker, storyteller, tantrum-tamer.....oooooohmygosh. Can you tell I'm a bit tired? I love my life, I'm just pooped. 


This morning, I was listening to my favorite Christian Pandora station and Overcomer by Mandisa came on.  I am so in love with this song today.

This is my favorite verse with the chorus following:

The same Man, the Great I am
The one who overcame death
He's living inside of You
So just hold tight, fix your eyes
On the one who holds your life
There's nothing He can't do
He's telling you

[chorus]

You're an overcomer
Stay in the fight ‘til the final round
You're not going under
‘Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it's hopeless
That's when He reminds You
That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer

Everybody's been down
Hit the bottom, hit the ground
Ooh, you're not alone
Just take a breath, don't forget
Hang on to His promises
He wants You to know

You're an overcomer

God is good, so glad there are great reminders that the stuff we are going through is no big deal and that HE has our backs!

I am in no way in a "bad" spot.  I'm just a tired mom. Comes with the job, right?   Anyways...I'll get back to my normal self in the next post, I promise!

Coming up: DIY natural disinfecting wipes, DIY reed diffusers, my love affair with essential oils, and some random rants.

Weight Watchers, Week 3

Success!  I lost the weight that I gained last week.  I lost 2.8lbs this week! I'm down a total of 6.8lbs.  I suppose i should really start moving now.  I have a gym membership, I just need to use it. 

See, the problem is the kid doesn't want me to get my fitness on.  He hates the child care center there. They have to come get me because of the fits he throws. 

Come on kid, momma doesn't want to be a chunk and it's far too late to re-lactate!

Anyways, this week I will MOVE. 

Ways i will move: mowing the lawn/chop up leaves into tiny pieces so my neighbor doesn't know they were my leaves that blew into her yard. Because obviously chopped up leaves can not be traced back to the original tree(already done, win!). Cleaning.  Yes, I count cleaning as moving.  I vacuum every day and mop 2 times per week.  My dogs and my kid make huge messes.  Thank goodness I have all hard floors though! I hate to imagine all the crap that would be in my carpet. The rest of my movement will be done at the gym. When I go to the gym, i go early. Like 3 hours before the sun comes up.  All the school teachers are there.  Whatever.  As long as they don't try to teach me math early, we'll be fine. 

Looking for another 2lbs down this next week.  We will see!

Sickness.

About a month ago I got a cold.  Then the boys both got it. That cold pretended to go away, only to then to sneak attack our immune systems a few times.  Turns out my husband and I both got bronchitis.  

I'm all like:  (See 0:22)

I also got an ear infection.  Then the kid got an ear infection.  2 cases of bronchitis, 2 ear infections.  Mom is lucky enough to have both. Wait, lucky?

But seriously, don't you love Sweet Brown?
