Misery loves company

What happens when mom gets sick and mom is the the primary caregiver of children, house duties, food prep, and educating. A whole lot of nothing. I came down with the flu this week. 21 weeks pregnant and they put me in the hospital for dehydration. My poor little baby was not doing so good so its a good thing I went in but oh how I hate needles and doctors. All of our parents rallied around us and took turns caring for the kids. Thank God for grandparents. My hospital visit only lasted overnight but, still the sickness consumes. Problem is it is consuming my husband and my mom and well who knows which kids.
The one shining light of this week has been our ultrasound of the baby. Drum roll please..........Its a Boy. We still haven't picked out a name but time is on our side.
See ya!!

New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year!!!!!!
I gave up making resolutions a few years ago. My way of preventing myself from failier. This year I decided it was time to pull up my boot straps and get it together. To often I say to myself 'your failing at this that or the other thing, why can't you just pull yourself together.' Be it related to house keeping, my prayer life, or how I'm parenting/teaching my kids I never seem to be able to keep up with it all. ( up to my own standards) My mantra in life has become over the years .... each day is a new gift from God to start over and try again. This has gotten me through many a bad day. However, it totally sucks when I say everyday with no hope in site. Any way right now things are good. I feel good, the house looks good, the kids are smiling, and food has been on the table. Wish me luck as I journey forward into this new year of opportunity.
I'll be thinking of all of you. God Bless.
