A funny thing called motherhood

My tears began to flow as I tightly held both children in each arm on the couch. They finally finished crying and now it was my turn.


Moments before, Ellie had decided to hit Annabelle in the head with a toy and Anna screamed so loud it scared me. I immediately sat Ellie down for time-out and that made her mad so she threw herself back and hit her head on the fireplace. I grabbed both sobbing children and comforted them on the couch.


Another moment of feeling over-whelmed and stressed. I usually can keep it together, but I couldn't today. I broke. So many stressful things happened today and this one topped it off.


Yes, I only have two kids, but being a mom is hard, period. I give so much effort in being the best mom I can but most days I don't know what I'm doing. That's when I pray...


"Lord, please give me strength. I need you today."


No matter how overwhelmed I feel, knowing God is on my side gives me comfort. 

And finally, the choas slows down and I can hear myself think again. My girls begin to play nicely and the tears have gone away. Finally, I feel calm and start to enjoy watching my beautiful girls play. And yet again, I think, "I can do this."

Catch Up - Condo For Sale!

It's been a long time since I have blogged because life has been crazy. So much has happened. Here's the list to catch you up:

1. Anna got her first toofer. :) It's super cute.

2. Ellie was seen at Children's GI and they were very helpful. Elle is doing much better with her booty issue.

3. We have moved out from our condo. We are living with my sister for 3 weeks until our new home is ready to move in. The Rebo's rock!

4. We have a new place to live that is amazing! I feel totally blessed by the Lord that he gave us this new home. I'll post pics when we move in on Oct. 4. 

5. Our condo is FINALLY on the market. Staging and cleaning your home to sell is a big pain in the butt. I'm so happy it's all ready and we are finally all moved out.  Click here to see it online!

6. My diet has gone to hell. I've been so incredibly stressed that I haven't gone to Weight Watchers in like 4 weeks. I'm planning to get back on track soon. Come on.. you have to admit when life is tough, a big piece of chocolate cake makes things so much better. ;) Not really.

7. Ellie said "Ba-Bye Dada" the other day. Love it!

8. I'm never moving again
