I didn't think I was going to get her inside, but she finally fell down and got soaked, and I said "Maizers, we better go in and get all dried off." And she was like "Yeah, it's okay, we better get all dried off and have a snack." So in we went, to eat popcorn and drink hot, well, warm chocolate. And I finally got my heart aligned in the truth.

Much Better
Last night, after feeling so terrible, I decided to make a change. This is really all it takes most of the time, is for me to do something about my situation and chose to be better. So I got Maizie all dressed in her pink butterfly galoshes, green jammie pants, & purple raincoat, and gave her my purple Disney World parasol. Then I got Iris all bundled up and put her in the carrier, and outside in the rain we went. I took them to the back of the parking lot for the shops (which were mostly closed) next door and she went crazy puddle hopping. It was cold and wet, but finally, we were having fun and not battling about everything. I wish I'd have had my camera, because she was so cute out there soaking wet with my "brella," which was way too big for her. I'll just have to remember it like they did in the old days, I guess. Write it down.

Ohhh man, you are so not alone in those "How-in-the-world-am-I-going-to-make-it-through-the-day " Mommy moments!!! I have had plenty! All mom's have!!! LOL, its a good thing our strength doesnt lie in us alone. I just keep reminding myself (scratch that....GOD keeps reminding me) that our strength lies in HIM and that we dont get more than we can handle! I am SO thankful that Maizie and Iris have a mom that trusts in Christ as her refuge! You are an amazing Mom!! I have seen you in action!!! :) Big hugs from me!!!!
Very sweet, Katie! Glad you're blogging again .... I know, there are patches in my seasons of life where I think, "What in the world was God thinking when he made ME a wife and a mom?!?!!? Would have been better off saving that fantastic role for someone who DESERVES it!" Really, we all deserve Hell, so lest we forget. So, I roll up my sleeves, remember that God's doing a work in me and my friends like YOU for His glory. And in that, I am thankful for a good night sleep. Hopefully. Hugs to you!
