Life Goes On

A few weeks ago, I went to "Mommy school" with a coupe of my favorite people to hang out with. We had such a fun time. Every time we got into the car, we got lost, but it was fun, so it was OK. The whole weekend was relaxing and wonderful all around. However, as I learned 2 years ago, I really shouldn't go to these things while being pregnant, I am way to emotional for all of this. But the classes were great, and I was greatly impacted as always. I felt very challenged from the first session. To be a better mom, not just a better one, but the one my kids deserve, the one that God designed for them, the one he is calling me to be.
God as called my family into a time of great transition and great change. We have walked into the challenge, an are depending on Him for the best possible outcome. It is exciting, it is tiring, but in the long run we know it will be fantastic.

Lazy Days

Hubby is gone this weekend to a men's conference in Chicago. The kids and I went to the school winter carnival last night. This is my first experience with a school carnival as a mom. It was quite an experience. The kids had a blast, and all was perfectly timed to arrive home just in time for bedtime. We all slept in this morning, and just kind of hung out around the house most of the day. Friends came over this afternoon whose hubby is also out of town, so the kids all just ran around the house and tore it up while as the mommys sat around the living room and didn't really do a whole lot. The kids love the play time. Now all are settled in bed and the dishes are done, the house in clean and I am just killing time until hubby comes home. (In truth I will probably be in bed long before that) All in all, a pretty good day. : )
