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.

Moms Supporting Moms

I want to challenge moms to get onboard!! Too often I hear women critiquing fellow moms choices in how they want to raise their children.  The lack of grace and compassion for each other and our journey is heart breaking. For example: I follow Kourtney Kardashian on Instagram(don't laugh), I love seeing her style and her day to day with her children. I think she's a great mom! Yesterdays Instagram was of two of her babies sleeping, tangled together all cozy and sweet. As I scrolled down I began reading a few comment left by individuals, whether moms, single women(without kids), men, teenagers, maybe even grandparents. While majority of the comments were about how precious these children were, I couldn't help but notice the mass of ugly,  mean spirited and rude words left under such an innocent picture.  Some were shaming her for allowing her children to sleep in her bed, others found it sickening that the youngest(who is 1) had a pacifier in her mouth.  And many h...

When Being a Good Parent is Viewed as a Bad Thing

After much thought and prayer today, I've come to this question...when did being a good parent become such a bad thing?!?  I say good, but what I mean is leading by our actions, validating our children's feelings, removing them from bad/harmful situations, trying to filter as much vulgar language as possible from the influences outside our home, showing them constant/unwavering love, teaching them manners (to be gentlemen) and most importantly centering our home around Christ.  The reality is that this season of being able to give our children a strong foundation, a solid moral compass and the understanding of how deeply they are loved, is such a short time frame.  I can't be my children's filter forever,  as of now my children are 4 & 1, so my husband and I are every bit in the drivers seat to determine what is acceptable for our children and for our family. When they are 10 & 7 I'm sure we'll be playing with a whole new set of rules.   We have t...

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...
