Words Matter!

I have always been a HUGE believer that there is power in spoken word. Please speak LIFE into people. So today, someone spoke life into me.

I am currently trying my best to stay upbeat despite my PPD tendency. So, having 4 children ages 9 and under is sometimes a huge chaotic mess when you try & go places, Saturday was one of those days.

We had a million things to do in a short amount of time PLUS Hubby had to work at our church for a few hours so I was left to wrangle a sick infant & 3 hungry children in Target & the hair salon. We finally get to Target & as we are about to get out of the car, after a 25 minute nursing session in the backseat, I look down & see that my favorite capri jeans have ripped in the crotch area. Yes ladies & gents, my panties were in full view. *TEARS*  So I did what any other mother of 4 would do, I sat in the car & waited for Hubby to get to Target after work. Hubby to the resue! He shopped for everything we needed with no complaints at all.

Anyway, my point was....someone sent me a text today to say that I looked "super cool" with my children in tow Saturday. "lots of work but its picture perfect you look like a boss" and that I do it so "gracefully". Now if you knew the hot mess Saturday was for me, you would cry too. This person had NO idea how much I needed to hear that I do NOT look like a travelling circus with my kids. So be sure to tell someone if you admire them or give them that compliment in your head because you never know how much they need it that day!

I've Arrived!

Hello world! It's my first time "blogging". I just want a place to actually WRITE DOWN the good, the bad, & the funny that happens in our little big family.

So today is a rough day. Yesterday J was diagnosed with an ear infection (plus he is cutting a 2nd tooth) & E had an asthma attack, all within 2 hours. Today it's Hubby's turn to stay home with the sick children. Yep, you guessed it, I have been called at least 3 times with screaming children in the background. Fun times for ALL!

Did I mention my children? N - age 9, A - age 4.5 E - age 2 J - 4 months (1 girl & 3 boys)

Yes we have a TV with cable & all the fancy fixings. Yes we know how these "things" happen and we don't mind it lol. Oh that reminds me of a funny picture Cozi posted today on FB. Let me figure out how to post it here...

Well maybe some other time since my work laptop is spazzing out. Oh yea, did I mention I work full time? Some might argue that it's not all that full-time since I am all over the place with my hours attending doctors visits, picking up sick kids from daycare & sports practice/games but my bosses are very very understanding (Thank you Jesus!) and I *think* I do a good job when I am actually here.

Last thing I wanted to share was our funny yesterday! A is sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner and I hear aloud vibrating sound. A then says excuse me. Nope that sound did not come out of his mouth...boys! Me - A that's disgusting! A's response: I want to be just like daddy, an old man with loud farts! ROFL...

Ok I am done...must finish a work project. Hopefully we do this again soon!
