Patience: a work in Progress

I know, catchy title, huh? Well, it's the only thing at this point that I could think of, and boy do I need it right now!

Ever since Mother's Day, when I decided I was going to reestablish my faith and have a more personal relationship with God again, I have been mind-boggled with what internal issues I have to work on first in order to live a more Christ-filled life.

I know I have to get back into church and spend time with other believers, but, where to from there. How do I figure out what else I am suppose to do?

That is where patience comes in, and I'm not kidding. Patience use to be one of my best traits, and now I have very little. Especially when it comes to my young ones who test me at every opportunity.

We shall soon see....

Random Stuff

I guess the title is kinda self explainatory. I'm just in a mood, I guess. I have been having major tired streaks and actually took a nap earlier today--imagine that!

I had thought about doing what other bloggers do and actually have a theme to write about each day. But, somehow, I haven't been able to convince myself that I could actually stick to it. Like, MPM is Meal Planning Monday. I haven't gotten into the habit of meal planning, so, that wouldn't work. It might force me to try though. Let me give it some thought and I'll come back later on with an answer for you, k?

In the meantime, I will leave you on that note. Yes, that is my way of saying I can't think of anything else to say--imagine that!

This is How I Spent Saturday Morning...

I had been wanting to clean out the car for a while, and, after taking it to the car wash Thursday, I thought the inside needed some TLC....I'm embarrassed to admit, in the past 2 years that we have owned the Vue, this is the first time I have literally physically cleaned out the interior--and you can tell it, too! OMG, my side floorboard is a mess, stained from lack of cleaning over the years, awful. The backend had just housed two mini bales of hay for the front yard that my husband was planning on using for re-seeding the front yard from our Plumbing Adventure last summer. So, I had to clean that as well. It took me most of the morning, but, she's all clean now. I'll have to go out and snap a couple pictures of what it looks like now, when I got done I forgot to take after pics, and hubby wanted to get his buddy home. Anyways, there you go...

Finding Balance (continued)

I have a fabulous giveaway for all entrepreneurs or WAHMs



Well, are you in for a treat!

This e-course is perfect for you if you're a WAHM or a blogger who makes money from their blog, or really, any sort of mom with a business leaning.

Work-life balance is hard enough but when it's your own business, it can get even harder as you juggle multiple balls in the air.

And this is where this e-course comes in.

Kim's written a 7-part e-course, Finding Balance as an Entrepreneur Mom, specifically to help you get that balance back in your life.

Under the Weather...

I have had this lingering cold, for the past week and thought with OTC drugs, it would go away. No such luck. I have been waking up in the afternoon with my nose feeling like someone shoved cotton in it and my body aches. So, I have been doing very little of anything, including my business. I'm only here because I can sit down and it requires just enough energy to type. Well, that, and the fact that Shawne is laying on the couch watching TV because he's not feeling well either. Poor baby. My kids rarely get sick. I had to leave work one night not long after I can back overnights because Hannah woke up with a really bad earache, told both Shawn's (my hubby, who's the CSM, and my boss the assistant) and left.

So anyways, I'm going to make some coffee and ponder what to eat because I really don't feel like eating but I'll get sick and have a major headache if I don't.

A Picture of the House Itself

Sorry, I guess I didn't have it figured out after all. Ok, motherhood calls, have to feed the children...;)
