It is May what??? and Happy Mother's Day

Previous to these last few weeks I used to believe that December was the craziest and busiest month of the year, but now I have changed my mind.  April and May beat it--oh my do they beat it!  After a month of soccer x2, Easter, and then 3 field trips and 2 birthdays and all the "end of the school year last minute stuff" x4 (my kiddos only have 9 days of school left!) and I am ready to scream!!!  I think I will just sleep all Mother's day.  Goodnight, and I will see you Monday morning hopefully more refreshed and ready to take on the world again--maybe :)  A very Happy Mother's Day to all you amazing moms that know what it feels like to be ready to scream after living the wonderful life that we are blessed to live  :)  It is a wonderful life, and I thank the Lord that I am blessed to live it, and I wouldn't change it for the world, but sometimes I do just want to scream and sometimes I do just scream, and that is okay.  Happy Mother's Day!

Wow! Sometimes being a stay-at-home mom people wonder what you do, well, this is just a peak at a few days. Moms are the busiest and most hardworking of anyone, and don't let anyone tell you different, but it is also the best and most rewarding job in the world. I couldn't ask for a better one!
