Day 6: 30 Days of Thankfulness

Day 6
I am thankful to be an American and for the freedoms that come with it. Being election day, the freedom to vote. Freedom to worship the One true God. Freedom to home school. To wear what I want as a woman. To drive. Freedom of speech. Freedom to have as many children as the Lord gives us and to raise them as we see fit (for the most part and at least for the moment!). Freedom to have guns. There are many, many more freedoms that go along with being an American. I am thankful and proud to be an American. (And yes I did exercise my freedom and went out and voted today ;)

The Countdown Begins...

It has been a very hectic past few months. My oldest is now 6 and my middle child is 3, oh me, time is going by way too quickly! All followed up by my youngest turning 1 in October. eek! So the countdown started yesterday. I gave notice and my last day working outside of my home will be June 30th. Yes a long notice...but I felt like it was necessary. Even more necessary is for me to take on my God given role to raise up my children in the way they should go. I am excited and yet nervous. I am coming home to be a worker in my home - to the most important job that I could ever do! I definitely don't want to mess it up. So not only is the long notice for my current boss, but also so that I can prepare myself for all that awaits me. Things will definitely be changing in our household, but I am sure that they will all be for the better so long as we keep our gaze on Him.

Tuckered Toddler

Webb and I got home one night from a night out alone (few and far between these days) and little Sam had fallen asleep on Cat's bed. Just too cute not to snap a photo.

I want to be a loser

I hate to admit how complacent I have gotten with being healthy. I know what I need to do which makes it much worse than just being ignorant. I know how to count calories (or points). It's a simple equation more output than input. Add in chaos and the need of convenience and it no longer seems quite as simple. In addition to the chaos I have a huge weakness for sugar! Preferably the chocolate variety. But really any sort of 'sweet' will do. My hubby and I came to a so called agreement right after Christmas. I will give up sweets and he will give up soda (his weakness). "Give up" is so very harsh. Neither of us has been perfect with it. He of course has done much better than I. Unfortunately for him I am weak and when I have given into my sweet tooth I have tended to bring him a Coke. Oh only upon typing that out did I realize how horrible I have been. Did it take anyone else back to Genesis?...
