Mother of the year!

Just thought I'dnshare......I get the Mother of the year Award today I tell you!  Cranky, tired kids plus tired mommy equals bad mornings!

I think the time change has gotten to all of us.  Someone told me earlier in the week that it takes most people until Thursday to get used to the time change.  So here it is Thursday - I really pray that fact is true.  Because it wasn't pretty this morning.  After I dropped the kids off, I called my bestie and vented.  She always makes me feel better - normal you might say.  Everyone has mornings like this - man I hope so.

So now I am having another cup of coffee, a hot bath, and starting this day over.  Maybe sneaking in a quick nap before kids get home.  Praying for patience and understanding.  Like my bestie, God always makes me feel better.  So I am spending time with Him today.

Enjoy you coffee and have a great day lovelies.

American Idol and sick fam...

Just thought I'd share some of my thoughts tonight.  Nothing heavy-just a couple of the ramblings  going on in my head.  And boy sometimes those ramblings can get very ADHD let me tell you.

Is American Idol lame this season or is it just me?  In the past I would sink into my sofa and love watching AI.  I'm just not feeling it this season.  And is Nicki for real?  Can't take that girl serious.

Our household has caught the cold bug.  Lots of barking, sniffles and moans.  I am trying hard not to get it - so much hand washing, hands are cracking!  But mamas never have time to get sick do they?  But can I tell you how much I love all the snuggles from my 6th grader.  Don't get those as much these days and not feeling well brings out the "I need mommy" in him.

Another cold snap has hit the ATL and I am freezing.  Sitting here blogging (that sounds funny to me), in a quiet house with my warm fire and fluffy socks sure feels great right now.  Weather channel says it will hit 65 this weekend - yeah!  Can't wait for that.  Great weather to watch my loves play baseball, hopefully I can sneak in my flip flops.  Crossing my fingers.

Stay warm y'all and sweet dreams!

Still trying....

So I am still trying to get this little blog of mine going.  Don't really have a reason that I haven't blogged but once.  Is it a fear thing?  Is it a time thing?  Is it just plain laziness?  All those questions have bounced around in my head the last two weeks.  And all the while I did nothing.  I really do want this.  I want to be a part of this amazing blog world that I read everyday.  These words I read, by amazing woman, inspire me to be better.  So here it goes again

I am challenging myself to blog 4 times in the next week.  Does this count as one?  I say hells yah!!!  My hope is to journal our crazy life and one day inspire someone else by my crazy, wild, loud voice!

Cheers to still trying to be better in all I do and say.
