Trying to stay on top of things with two toddlers, their appointments, my appointments, the chores, cooking, and being a wife is really hard. I need to rest and slow down or I won't be able to sustain it all.
It is a hard job for sure. Remember, that you are human, and take breaks when you can-- and make time for just you and the hubby alone.- Even if it is just a walk or sharing a dessert. Important!
I am done all of that now and homeschooled them to boot.. I have no idea how I survived. lol But we do! I miss seeing my kids everyday now- but they are strong and independent and gave us grandbabies.
- all but one love the Lord- so I just keep praying for my straggler .
You can do this! Take time to laugh. Time flies. In a blink your babies will be grown. I know that sounds cliché- but it is very true.

Are you? I think especially now we really don't have a choice. It is a real sacrifice imo. But if you can engage with a co-op of parents who also homeschool it is invaluable. My daughter also plans to do it with hers. She has a 3 yr old and 9 mos old twins. She is the only one with kids so far. I had the three.

We ended up getting the Korean BBQ and going bowling yesterday. It was so much fun, I didn't get many pictures. I'm glad we were able to go out like that.

The BBQ was excellent. You get fresh ingredients and you cook it yourself on a grill in the middle of the table.

I lost at bowling both games and I didn't like that because I'm really competitive. My husband looked way better than pretty much every other guy at the mall where the bowling alley was.

Why were you looking at other men and comparing them to your husband? LOL

But there were some who looked better if you consider what had been written which was, "pretty much'. LOL

Just saying, when you love someone, they tend to look better than everyone else. Lol! :waves:

I see appearances as a sign of the times and society we live in. Times are very rough. But since you asked, I do like to people watch. Glad you find that funny. Im sure you could use a laugh.

Im not really sure why God is so kind to me or why He has given me so many blessings. All I can say is thank you, Lord.

What I was chuckling over was what some would call a Freudian Slip that you had made in the post that I was referencing, which is an accidental mistake in speech, memory, or action that is believed to reveal a person's hidden, unconscious thoughts or desires. Also known as a parapraxis, the term comes from the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.

Again, you have slipped up in your rebuttal with another unintended Freudian Slip which, in this case causes me to have some concerns for you.

It seems, in reality, that you are the one who needs a laugh, more than I do.

With a response like that, now I have one. Thanks

The main mood seems to be happy but tired. My life is going well but it is tiring to care for the corresponding responsibilities of the blessings. Im glad God sees it all and will reward us according to what we did.

I don't fit in. I hate that so much of American culture has become about competing downward to maintain a false sense of equality. America was a meritocracy. Each individual was credited based on their own merit. Now so many are competing in the victim Olympics and I can't really get behind it.

Life can be hard sometimes. One thing I've struggled with is perfectionism. While I don't think striving for moral perfection is bad, I've struggled with the fact that in order to become excellent at something, I have to struggle and be bad at it first.

When I struggle, I tend to get discouraged but if I don't give up, I can do some pretty rewarding things.
