uhh NO! i'm tired!!!
alright!!! it's time to get real up in here! as you know i have 2 tiny babies young men that the good LORD has blessed me with. raising them is such a treat really hard (but still a treat.) it's the hardest J-O-B i will ever have. since summer started something changed in me. BLAH!
i am so tired of hearing...
mom, MOM, MOOOOOM...
some days it's my least favorite word.
i can't believe i just said that. i really don't mean it. but, WOW my boys are getting BIG umm (12 &10) can't they get a drink on their own. it's not like they are not strong enough to do it,(they do push-ups and sit-ups everyday) or they can't reach,(son 1 is an inch shorter than me) and or it needs to go in a sippy.(they stopped using them 110 years ago) I want to scream DO IT YOURSELF DUDES! especially when they are standing RIGHT in front of the fridge. AHHHHH!!!
yesterday was BAD for me. i was having such guilty feeling because i was feeling this way. i cried and asked a dear friend if i was awful. she told me i wasn't, but really she was probably thinking i should fly off on my broom.
so, i prayed that GOD would renew my servants heart. i still think that there are some things my
"The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
matthew 23:11
today i am working hard to inscribe this verse on my heart.
being a wife and a mother is a dream come true for me.
sometimes i just forget.
WOOPS!
i'm human.
have a wonderful holiday weekend.
kiss, kiss & a great big hug!

yes. i hear ya. praying for a better attitude for both of us;) xo love you, girl!
great verse! i know we all have these days, but the important thing is taking our thoughts captive and meditating on scripture...just what you're doing. thanks for the reminder.
i don't have kids yet, but i know i feel this way with the hubs sometimes...especially when i know he's just as capable to do things! i am continually trying to catch myself and choose to have a servant's attitude, but it's good to hear it from someone else too!
what a sweet and honest and funny post! love it :) we moms are in fact humans {with awesome but imperfect intentions} after all.
I feel this way all the time. I have started giving my boys the independence to do things on the own too, though, and it has helped all of us. I gripe when it comes to things they can't do yet (laundry) and pray, "this is day the Lord has made, let me rejoice and give praise for it."
Frustrated, party for 2? I think you should actually start giving them sippy cups. Just a thought. Love you!
i have been getting frustrated with all of our tantrums lately. all we can do when we are about to lose it is pray for patience and guidence.
