Lifes little blessing

All the great blessings of my life are present in my thoughts today.

Life has a way of giving so many blessings. A lot of times they are never seen. A lot of people walk through life, day after day and never realize a single blessing. The truth is we wake up every morning and it is a huge blessing. I live down the street from a lady who rarely gets to leave her house. Her three young sons have to take care of her. She is completely bedridden. I can get up everyday and help my kids get ready for school. That is a blessing.
 I don't like to clean and I don't like to grocery shop, but I bet my neighbor would give anything in the world to be able to do those things again. I tend to look at all the negatives in my life and not the positives as much. The blessings in my life may not be a lot of money like some people or a big house but, those things can only go so far. I have my health, I have 4 healthy children and I get to watch my children grow everyday. To me those are the blessings in life.

Frazzled Mommy

The wonderful fulfilling life of being a stay at home mom.  You either love it a little or love it a lot.  It really isn't all bubblegum and gumdrops.  Maybe that sounds bad but, I'm not feeling very fulfilled as a person.  Maybe fulfilled as a mother bu,t not as an individual.  Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and I love being able to watch my children grow.  I do feel very lucky to have been able to stay home with my two younger children.  I would not have it any other way but, it is time to finally start school.  I finally feel I am in a place where I can do the whole school thing and do a good job at it. 

Being a mother has been the hardest job I have ever done.  If the kid's aren't crying or sick or needing money or needing to be brought somewhere it isn't a normal day.  I know one day I will look back and say, I miss it but, as of now I am just very happy I have finally started something that gets me out of the day to day mommy grind.  I'm just so glad I finally have something to talk about other then Sesame Street and poopy diapers. LOL. I am finally starting my journey of self-fulfillment.
