Life Crisis

-
“AAARRGGGHHH!!! I’m having a Life crisis!!”
That’s what my hubby heard from the Laundry room this afternoon, though it wasn’t what he thought. I had tried to dump the last of the Life Cereal into the trash can but totally missed, pouring all the crumbs into the cabinet and onto the floor. That’s the equivalent of a couple cups of sugar and oats all over. Not an easy mess to clean up.
I grabbed the dust-buster, sucked most of it up, and shook the rest out of the rug. As I turned the buster over to hang it back up in the charger, the contents of it spilled all over the dirty laundry and the floor. That’s when I hollered.
Sometimes life is like that. It’s messy, not easy to take care of, and doesn’t always go where we want it to.
On top of all that, we tend to make a bigger deal out of it than is really necessary. It’s just Life! God can fix it, clean it up, redirect it… No biggie!
Needless to say, it was just cereal. I cleaned it up, chuckling at the new perspective God had given me on Life (the thing we live… not eat).

I opened the wrong end of our huge Kirkland brand steak seasoning and dumped a TON on some steaks about a month ago. I washed them off but had to clean up the huge pile of seasoning that I got all over the floor and counter. So I thought, hey I'll just grab the dust buster. BAD IDEA! Now every time we dust bust it smells like steak seasoning.

The Little Princess

This past weekend was the famed “Nutcracker Weekend” for Kayla and her daddy. They left Friday afternoon for Seattle and a beautiful hotel room overlooking the city. She spent most of the week getting all worked up about it. As part of the tradition, Scott and she had a date night earlier in the week to shop for her dress, shoes, accessories, you name it. They arrived at the hotel, hung out and watched a movie and then they were off to Benihana’s for dinner. What a crack up! She and a few of her friends and their dads lit up the place with their giggles and smiles. I can imagine it was quite a sight to see this bunch of grown men with their little princesses. Back at their room, Kayla and Scott had an arrangement. Kayla got to eat candies and watch a bunch of movies while Scott slept. At the end of each movie (you know, the 20 minute cartoon movies) she would come and tap dad, asking for another one. He would oblige and promptly doze off again. The next morning was filled with more fun...

I wonder... what did I want to be when I grew up? I don't remember too much and mom could probably shed some interesting, if not shameful light on the subject but what did I want to become? An air force pilot? A ballerina? A muscle-lady, as my daughter calls professional body building women? Maybe a teacher. Could it be that I really wanted to be a mom all my life and now I am one? That's too easy. I've had this feeling that there was something more out there for me to do but I just couldn't nail it down. Church always told me that I had to have a ministry, as if my life wasn't full enough without it. Ok, so then who do I minister to? People get along just fine without me so it seems silly to interject myself into their lives for my own self-fulfillment. So, back to my question... what do I want to be when I grow up? Maybe the question should be what does God want me to be? I am a mom and that's a huge job all on it's own. Teach them to walk, talk, love, eat...

It's All Colton's Fault...

This is most likely for all you moms and grandmas to enjoy laughing at me, the one who did this to you. For the life of me I've been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to keep up with my household chores the last few months. I am usually able to work, do the bills, pick up the house, clean the bathrooms (HAH!), do the laundry from start to finish , keep the kids entertained, and do the dishes (although, that is something my hubby has said he would do for me but doesn't do until my head explodes or there's no more counter space... which is pretty incredible considering the amount of counter space we have. (I love you, Sweetie :) )). Lately, I can't tell if anything is actually getting done without great efforts to dig out from under the pile of whatever it is! A usual day's routine is to get everyone ready and out the door to take Kayla to school and then take jr. to the store for groceries or to run whatever errand needs to be run. I return in time to ...
