About my blogging hiatus. I feel as if I have little control over my life right now. I hate feeling like that. As soon as I clean the kitchen up, the sink is full of dishes. As soon as I sweep the floor, there is food all over it. As soon as I do laundry, the hamper is full. How long will it be before I feel like I have a handle on all of my chores?
There are two things that helped snap me out of my funk. First, dear sweet Lawanda mentioned me on her blog. There's nothing like someone calling you sweet and beautiful when you feel nothing but grouchy and haggard. I know it's been about 2 weeks, but it's been on my mind Lawanda! Thank you!
And the other thing is that we finally went to church and the timing couldn't have been better! The sermon was on raising boys. Shane and I came away feeling so good after this sermon. We've gotten a lot of critisism for Caleb's rambunctiousness and lack of obedience. This always depresses me and I've always been confused about what the problem is (or if there really is one) and what we're supposed to be doing differently. I came away feeling like we're doing a lot of things right. And for the first time in my life, when it comes to Caleb, I felt confident. If you have a boy, or if you know anyone who has boys, you should watch it! Please watch it! Here's the link again...

It's nice to have you back!
Awww, it makes me sad that you feel like you don't have a handle on your parenting (boy or girl) because others criticize you. :(
I didn't look at the link, but I want to tell you that as long as you are doing what you do because you love your son (and daughter) and want them to be loving toward others and loved by others, then you are always on the right track!
About the housework, I know this is hard for some people, but I have learned to ignore the messes, and enjoy the mess-makers :)
Well, I mean...I don't ALWAYS do that, it IS a work in progress ;)
You ARE BEAUTIFUL and SWEET! I am glad to read your blog again :)
