I am a Mommy Blogger!

Okay so I have to admit I have drawn some inspiration on the new movie Moms Night Out to blog again. Mind you I seen it last Friday and I am just now blogging! (It takes me a day at least to write a blog , all while trying to run the daily happenings in my home. I really need to schedule better!) The movie has shown me that I do have something to blog about even when I think I don't. It was nice to see that I am not the only mama that wakes up in the morning and just stares into her coffee cup, trying to patiently wait for the coffee to be done (The calm before the storm) and then... it begins. Your youngest child spills milk all over the table, your son is pulling your eldest daughters hair and shes screaming at him. All the while you are staring into the empty abyss of your cup wondering if its already bedtime yet. Is that you too? Its me... what seems like every day. I didn't realize until I got older and had children of my own the significance of a moms job. In all honesty I am still learning each day more and more the importance of a moms job. Looking back I took for granted the blessing of a mom I had. She worked her butt of for me and my brother and I think in my honest opinion she did a good job raising us. Many times I think I am failing as a mom. My patience is spread too thin and I lose it or I have even gone a whole day doing the bare minimum... I know shameful isn't it? But then there are the moments, at the end of the day when your babygirl falls asleep in your arms, or your oldest tells you what a great mom you are or when your son gets his football award and he smiles at you!! Those are the moments! Those are the special moments in time that make all of the business, the stress, the list of to dos fade away into nothing. Revel in them. They are few and far between but my friend those are the moments that we LIVE for. God knows just when to fit those moments in doesn't he. Just when you think things couldn't get worse, or you are at the end of your rope God sneaks in a precious moment with your child and everything just fades away, even for a moment. He is so good. So why have I decided to blog again? Well I had a very close friend visit this past weekend and she seen my "organized" homeschool area and asked how I do it... I told her honestly... Its a lot of crying, a lot of soul searching, a lot of doubt, and a lot of praying. You look around and see all of these moms who "have it together" and wonder what it the world is wrong with you that you don't have it all together. They make a trip to the grocery store looking like movie stars and you are lucky if you get out with everyones hair brushed, including your own. I am here to let everyone know thats its ok not to have it ALL together. You have bad days and you have good days and thats ok. You are not alone in it. And you aren't the only one who doesn't have it all together.
