Chuggin' Along

Maybe my blog name should be "A Mother's Weekly Journey". I haven't been the most productive lately. I successfully wasn't a very good wife and hurt my husband's feelings two days ago and I haven't been keeping up on the housework. We are also all sick. My poor husband is very week and not feeling good, but he still gives his all for us and works very hard. I wish that I could help him more, or at least take away his sickness. I love him so much and deem myself and one of the luckiest people in the world to be married to him. I am going to try to clean the house today. How hard could that be right? ha ha ha

Sundays Are The Best

I just love Sundays. They are a spiritual renewing for me. I feel closer to my husband and child and am ready to be a better person this week. We had a wonderful day at church and felt so close as a family. We have wonderful people in our neighborhood and had a fantastic couple over for a nice Sunday dinner. A speaker at church talked about being an example. One thing that really caught my attention was the point he brought up about being good examples for our children. My husband and I are the adults that my son has to look up to as patterns for his life. No matter what we think children are ALWAYS watching. They follow what we DO much more than what we SAY. I am blessed with a wonderful family and the light of religion in my life. What more could I ask for? Until tomorrow...

Are Mothers Always Tired?

Today was a great day. I am finding more and more that I need to find joy and pleasure in the little things. Life is too short. I always heard "old" people say that and I didn't really think much of it. It is a true statement. My little boy will be a year in about 4 months. It seems like a while, but it will come really fast. I am taking an online college class and I have already reached the midterm. It's crazy how time flies.

We cleaned the apartment today and went into town for groceries. Nothing spectacular, just life. I am sooo tired. I never realized how tired moms all are. I think that they hide it well and are "super troupers", as Abba would say. I need to learn how to handle life with little sleep as well as I do right after a nap. Are there any secrets? Hopefully good nutrition and exercise (when I do) will help.

I see heaven in my little boy's eyes. If I could learn to be more like him. He is so pure and so loving and so trusting. Until tomorrow...

A Little About Me

Hi there,
I am the mother of an 8 month old and I am trying the best I can to do everything right. As all of you mothers know this doesn't seem like a very realistic goal... yet we all try anyway to do our best. I wanted to start this blog to write about the choices and dilemmas that I face almost every day. I am seeing more and more that we, as women and mothers, are all more alike than we think, so I thought that maybe some other mothers could relate with me or could actually be going through the same things that I do. I'll try to keep it entertaining and lively. :) Until tomorrow...
