Me busy? Yeah Right!

Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am thinking when I spread myself too thin. I wish that was literal! (spreading myself thin LOL) This just tends to be a busy time at church. We have musical time, NTS Graduation, Easter, Mothers Day, Jory's Birthday, and this year a Wedding! Everything is so much fun. I think that I like being busy, but when you add on top of all that, raising two little kids, cutting hair and my duty's as far as being a wife aka Making dinner, laundry, cleaning, it is a little much. I am a very lucky woman though. I have a husband that does not complain about my ministry's at church and how busy I am in the evenings. He supports me and takes up his fare share of the workload.

With that said, I was in a MOOD yesterday! OY! Everything that the kids did annoyed me, everything that Jory said bugged me. Why couldn't everyone just leave me alone! For goodness sake I just wanted to pee in peace! LOL TMI?? I went to the bathroom and no sooner did I close that door, I had a little one yelling Mama, Mama!!!! Geeze Let me pee Sis!

Jory was at home yesterday, because he was sick. By the end of the day I just needed to get out of the house and away from everyone. It did not cure my mood, but it did help. I also ate some chocolate and that helped as well!

I think that this Mama needs some Lake time and some SUN!!!!

Really has it been THIS long??

I guess I should maybe do a quick update!

Really has it been almost a year since my last post on this blog? Oh me oh my! Life has taken over the blogging time. I forgot how relaxing and almost comforting blogging can be. Even if no one reads it.

Well, winter has come and gone and now it is Spring. The last 10 months or so, I have really tried to make huge changes in our household as far as eating and going to the gym. Weight has been such a struggle for me since I have had Christian. So we have made good strides to get the Swim house eating good healthy food like God intended it to be.

Jory and I bought a new boat this past January. It is a 2010 24' Tige. It is the boat of our dreams. We spend so much time at the lake, we really wanted something of our own that we could start making wonderful memories with the kids on. It is orange and black and white. Beautiful. I have yet to get out on to it. Jory and Christian have though and they both love it. I can't wait till Mothers Day weekend, to get out on it! It will be a blast this Summer!

Lily will soon be 2! I cannot believe it, 2 already??? Oh my, where has the time gone. She is getting to be so tall and big. Sometimes she talks, but Bubby does a lot of the talking for her. She looks like Jory and has a little attitude like me! ;)

Christian will be 5 in September. He will start pre-school in the fall, for 2 half days a week. He is SO excited to be in a classroom setting. I have been working on writing his letters at home. Before I know it he will be writing his name! I am not so sure I am ready for that yet.

This Easter season has really got me thinking about what Jesus really did for us. Oh my what a scary thing to have to face. I am sure glad that he did die on that old rugged cross for me and for you. I am so glad that my little boy asked him into his heart. It did get me thinking of the rest of the world that does not know him. I have been studying the book of Revelation. I want to make sure that EVERYONE that I know knows Jesus the way that I do. That he died on that cross for us, and that all of our sins have been forgiven. What an awesome thing. I want to be a good example for my kids and for my friends and everyone that sees me.

When life gets you down just remember the simple blessings that HE gives you everyday. I have always been a half-glass-full kinda gal. So that is how I try and live my life, in a way that I can see the positive.
