True Gritt!

True Story Folks..

Once upon a time there was a lady.. (ahem) stop pretending you don't already know it's me.. she woke up on a Wednesday morning.. and must have confused it with Monday... The discovery was made when a sudden flurry of papers and small items went flying into the air in all random directions.. while some crazy person was having a tantrum.. no you will not see this on the 6:00 news.. because they don't cover "wife/mom" fits .. or at least until there is real damage incurred.. Well suffice to say.. I let the Devil get a piece of me this morning.. I owe my hubby a big apology! BIG one.. needless to say I'm struggling.. I get so tired of making the same mistakes over and over.. I don't even want to be around me.. but alas.. the Devil got one good chunk of me this morning.. he doesn't get one for bed time too!!!! Being under pressure and stress is no excuse ladies.. to act a fool.. and trust me.. when the "flurry" passes... it's still cold. Gotta go stoke the fires now.. and it's gonna start with a heaping "pile" of apology.. and humility.. wish I could say I did better.. but I didn't .. tomorrow.. I will.. I Love the Lord.. and He loves me.. and I love my Hubby..Good Night friends.. and any good old fashioned TLC.. with a bit of scripture encouragement wouldn't hurt one bit! Love ya'll!

Sigh.. the end of Another Day!

Ok.. I confess.. I am totally a Monday Loather... yes.. I too begin the Sunday evening dread...knowing that when the morning comes.. so does complete and total chaos! While this used to bring me unbearable dread.. I at least will allow my eyes to open when the lights come on now..That's right ! I don't turn them on .. my dear Hubby does.. he's such a champ! Springs out of bed like a lightning bolt that's been plugged in to an outlet charging all night.. makes as much noise as a good bolt of lighting too! But.. if it wasn't for that... I might waste away under my plush covers praying Monday would be skipped... sigh.. no such luck.. as would be made known by the screaming banshees coming down the hall .. fighting over toothbrushes and combs.. and "who stole my shoes?!".. "oh never mind.. I found them ".. by now I have sat up in the bed and given up hope that Monday would dissappear and have moved on to a heavy shouldered drag straight to the coffee pot... no.. I don't speak before I get that little cup of "it's gonna be ok"... At some point ammidst my coffee soaking.. my big kids exit for the schoolbus.. my one little one remaining is still blissfully sleeping.. and now begins a new battle... Don't Go Back to Bed!!!! and than.. my Bible Reading comes to mind.. a convicting one at that.. I wish I could say I was estute enough to know the scripture and verse.. but I have not yet accomplished this awesome task.. however.. I do remember what was spoken. "Hurry to Obey the Lord's Commands".. Google it.. if you wanna double check.. and maybe you can remind me of the verse it'self... :)... well.. that's a wow moment for me... it has Obey and Hurry in the same scentence... ug.. and ug.. again.. but.. I Love the Lord.... and so.. I start to rev the engine.... Thank the Lord ... no really Thank the Lord.. for if it wasn't for those wonderful words to prick my heart... my family would be without a Mom on Monday's for sure... I will say it turned out to be pretty good though.. A surprise field trip to the local Pizza Place with my Preschooler. ( no I didn't know.. and yes I did get paperwork on it).. really made it a special day... he got to make his own pizza and eat it too! Than.. we closed out the night with a choir performance by Jazzy Girl... and Baseball Practice for Xavier.. Tommorrow.. I will try to take over the world!!!! :D
