A Mother's life, on Tuesday

Do you have one day of the week that just pushes you over the edge??

Mine is Tuesday, has been for years.  It just seems like every activity wants to land on Tuesday.   The kids have always had Youth Group, and Awana on Tuesday nights.  For some reason Hockey practice is always Tuesday night.  My foster son has visits with birth mom and his brothers, on Tuesdays! (which by the way, make him a bear in the evening, because they stir up so much anxiety and worry for him)  Oh, let's not forget the little ones have a minimum day on Tuesday every week. My husband joined a bowling league with his buddy, Tuesday Night.  Lacrosse Games, oh let's just schedule them for Tuesday.  Karate class, best done on a Tuesday!  Oy Vey! It never stops!

I don't know about you, but I have yet to clone myself, bummer right? I can only drive one vehicle at a time, and I can't just drop off 6 year olds one place, then head to another, sooooooo where does that leave me?  Even though Tuesday has been overfull for years, I am somehow still shocked every week when I wake up and realize what I have in store for me that day.

Extra coffee, plaster on that -- "I can handle this" smile, make sure I have good tunes for the car (because I will be driving it most of the day, and just get through it. Carry on Mother's of the world! Hit the road in those food encrusted mini vans! Dream of the day that you will be soaking in the sun with a cocktail in your hand in between your manicure and your massage, lol, right.......

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

I would LOVE a cleaning fairy!

Every woman has things in her life she is willing to pay for, and things she feels like she can and should do herself. My list is generally a little different than most women I think. My sister would tell you it is because I think I can do things better than other people, hee , hee ... she thinks I am a bit on the controlling side. I cut my own hair, do my own hair color, do my own facials, make jewelry, that sort of thing. I will admit, it is a rare occasion that I pay hundreds of dollars for a color and cut, and walk out feeling amazing. I am almost always disappointed in the result. I get a manicure & pedicure, and always regret the color choice- or see smudges. It just makes me mad to pay a lot of money for mediocre results. (I can get mediocre results myself!) One thing I definitely am willing to pay for, that I easily admit I am the worst at, is CLEANING MY HOUSE!! I really hate it. I love the calm and peace that comes with the clean, well organized home. I thri...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!
