For the Joy of it

For the joy of it,
1. I will not be upset that my girl’s shoes no longer fit because it means that they are growing.
2. I will not be stressed that my house is not in perfect shape when a friend visits this weekend but will take time to enjoy the friend.
3. I will be joyful that my husband has to answer his phone for work when he is home because it means he is home with us and has a job.
4. For the joy of it we are taking a summer break because my hero will be home this summer.
5. For the joy of it I will not care about the mess the girls will make or the amount of icing that is wasted while I teach cake decorating to a group of 8 year olds because it means they are having fun.

GratiTuesday

This week I am grateful that one of my baby girls woke up healthy. A week ago today my baby woke up at 2am having her first asthma attack. It brought back memories of my baby girl having them for a couple of years.
I am thankful that I have a husband who works hard all day, he leaves before daylight and comes home after dark and is still willing to help with homework or dinner.
I am grateful that all four of my children are healthy. This is not something I take lightly.
I am grateful for the opportunity to homeschool my children even on days that are rough. I am grateful for a husband that encourages this and supports me.

True Story Tuesday

This is a totally true story. I love my husband and he is amazing man but I have to be honest and say when we got married the first thing on my mind was I WANT BABIES. So right after we got married I went to my OB for my yearly. We are talking about what to do to get pregnant. Well I knew the basics but I wanted it to happen like NOW and it was not. So while I was on the torcher table with all exposed the craziest thing happen. Let me first tell you that my new husband was in the waiting room when he heard me scream. Why would I scream you may be thinking? Because while the doctor was down there doing his thing he peeks over the little curtain and says “Do you know you have warts”. I think they heard me on the next block. I did not know rather to jump up and run out of the office naked from embarrassment or deck my husband. Before I could do anything the doctor looks at me and says “what is wrong?” I said what do you mean what is wrong, you said I have warts. That is when he looks over that little curtain thing again and says “on your knee, you have 2 warts on your knee”.
In case you need a reminder that is not the thing to say to a woman who is in that position.

Friend Making Monday

Did you watch the Super Bowl?
I did for the first time. I have had in on before but never really watched it. So what did I think, the game was good. A few of the commercials were good. But overall I was saddened. Sad that she did not know the words to the National Anthem. Sad that they showed football players who did not take a moment to pause for there country or put there hand over there heart. I understand the excitement but I do wish they had taken a moment to listen to the words of this song.
