Squirrel

 Do you ever have Squirrel brain?

 If you aren't sure what i'm referring to, lets take a journey!! A journey through what its like to be my brain on any given day.

I wake up, so tired, already thinking about bedtime that night.  Get kids off to school and begin to start a load of laundry, but I notice once I'm in the laundry room that there are tools that need to be put away in the garage.  So I take the tools out to the garage, where I see the shop vac and remember that the kids spilled goldfish in my car. So I start vacuuming my car.  Where I stumble upon a shoe that has no match, so I go bak inside to pair this lonely shoe with its mate...and realize that once upstairs that kids didn't make their beds.  So mid bed making I find a hair bow that needs to go in the bow box downstairs.  As I'm descending the stairs I recognize a pull in my hamstring and think "yay, I'm getting a little exercise", which reminds me I haven't eaten.  I walk into the kitchen to make a quick bite to eat, two bites in I realize that the paper towel holder is empty so I set off to get to remedy that.  Once in the cabinet, I also find a candle I've been wanting to burn, so I head to look for a lighter.  Here lies the problem, I walk back into the laundry room to get a lighter from the drawer to find laundry that I never started,  which leads to screwdrivers I didn't put in their correct place and a car thats half vacuumed. A shoe that still hasn't found a mate, a bed thats half made and bow thats now sitting on the kitchen counter, next to my uneaten lunch, that resides next to an empty paper towel holder.  And a candle waiting to be lit.  Squirrel!!!

Is this every woman's brain, is it mom brain..or should I seek professional help, seriously! LOL  My general MO is to be a clean freak, but in the last 6 months I can look at everything I need to do/that I want to get done and just feel so overwhelmed that I throw in the towel.

Lines in the Sand

 This would be so beneficial if it could be an actual conversation, that's just wishful thinking though! You can't make someone hear your heart when they aren't capable of even seeing you for you.   When you reach out on text but your tone, intent and words are manipulated/twisted to fit someone else's narrative, then you know it's pointless.  When you very clearly state why you did something OR didn't do something and even that is turned into you being sly or rude about the way you deliver a feeling, there's no getting through.  You care about this person, clearly, or it wouldn't hurt so much.   But consider this...you're so worried about someone who isn't worried about you.   When someone shows you who they are, pay attention...If they will talk bad about others to you, you better believe they will talk bad about you to others.  It's a hard lesson to learn, and generally takes getting caught in the crosshairs to really figure it out.  It...

Fearfulness

Are you ever fearful of what others might think of you?  Do you experience fear in regards to your kids, spouse, family or friends? Isaiah 43:1 "Don't fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are MINE." This scripture runs through my mind daily!! Fearfulness is an unsolicited addiction that I personally battle. For example, I write this blog...Will my loved ones get upset over my truths, my feelings, my views or my opinions?  Will others respond with approval?  I don't know the answers to that and while I stopped needing anyones approval or acceptance long ago, there's still that part of me that thinks approval and acceptance would be nice.  I worry that my words will unintentionally hurt someone, that is never my heart or intention, but it's very possible.  My hope is to speak into someone else's life that may struggle with any of these topics.  I hope to pour love into the hearts of women walking through motherhood, relationshi...

Trojan Horse

 I used to think that I was a pretty good judge of character, I could, and still can, read people.  Have you ever missed the mark though and allowed a Trojan horse to infiltrate your inner circle?  At this age, I really thought people ( as a whole) grew out of these antics. That mean girls mature and become nice, that manipulators find their real value to others and press into the authentic ways to communicate.   Definitely naivety at it's best, but really its me always wanting to believe that people are better than that, that people grow, heal and desire genuine connections. An unfortunate reality, mean girls grow up to be mean women, manipulators only hone their skills and damaged people choose to damage other people.  It's sad! I can wish all day long that everyone is good to their core. That each person wants to be the best version of themselves and desires to do the hard work on themselves but there will always be wolves in sheep clothing amongst us. ...
