First Wives Club for Dummies
Calling all ladies, and any gents that have input. As part of my 2009 New Years Resolutions I am hoping to put together a daily/weekly "routine". I don't know if any other mom's face the same thing or not, but I know that no matter how many "responsibilities" I get to, there seem to be more that I don't. When you focus on the house, you neglect the kids.....when you focus on the kids, you get behind in the laundry. And after it all, you realize that it has been a month since you changed your sheets and it is 3:00 pm and you haven't had anything to eat yet. You get the picture.
So...I have decided I am going to figure out a routine for each day/ week... that will allow me to get all my responsibilities done, without neglecting other areas. I will start with a list.....THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN.... A list of all things that most women have every day. I will start, and PLEASE.....add to it. Get creative ! I will update the master list as new idea's come in. Please consider things that are daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly.

How is it possible...
to have so many blessings in my life. God....is simply amazing. Now I know not all people in this country feel that way, but I do. I have the best husband in the world. Spiritual leader, kind and generous, thoughtful, loyal. A great dad and attentive partner. I have two beautiful and intelligent little girls that could not possibly be kissed by me enough every day. Good friends. A nice home. Not a lot of money. Perfect !
God has always been in my life, but as I grow older and my perspective changes I am so much more able to see His miracles in my life. It is true....the closer you grow to Him as a couple or family, the closer you grow to each other. The more you seek the more you will find.
For anyone that doesn't believe....ask yourself why. These questions you have are beautiful. Written in your heart for a reason. God is bigger than your disbelief and all He wants is for you to seek answers to your questions with an open mind. Pray, read scripture, seek your answers. Amazing will happen.
I am doing a bible study at 6:30 pst everyday on the war on Christianity. An article I read was the catalyst to this decision for a topic. It stated that Christians staged the so called war so that we could in so many words, have something to complain about. I have never been so fueled. I wanted examples that would prove this writer wrong. Not a hard task. But more than that I wanted measurable ways that we as Christians can combat them.
So....reader.... : ) .......what examples can you thing of ? What ways can we put on our armor of God to help the good ?

How sweet it is....
----To see your children love on each other. 
Today Jordyn asked me if she could give "sissy" a bottle. I told OK and sat her down in the recliner and put Kami in her lap. 
Those of you that have had kids knows that a 9 month old doesn't always hold still while eating so I was a bit nervous. But Kami help perfectly still, other than rubbing Jordyn's face and hands. .jpg)
