These are the days....

Yesterday
I was in a very strange and again....
complex mood.

I really wasn't a very nice person to be around
 I was a total grouch
So much for my peace, lovin', happy mom attitude..
yeah baby... you gotta believe it... it was quite scary

i didn't exercise
 I didn't watch my portions
food portions that is
I don't even know what I did...
i didn't even keep the kids on task

I think I just walked around in circles all day confused and not sure where I was...
 Okay....I knew where I was, but you know what I mean....
It was "one of those days"

Yeah, it was a rather complex day
But today..... Oh today.... was a much, much better day of wonderful moments shared with my babies.....


Donnie worked from home today, so I had access to my van
remember....his car is broken down...i'm usually stranded at home :( last week we went to the a huge sink hole that is a geological site. Didn't post about this field trip. we did learn alot though

 So i had some places to be.....
the world was waiting to feel our feet skipping on the concrete, grass, and leaves....
we headed to a couple really fun place..

 the first place
we ventured was to a quaint, little secluded playground with just a few beautiful houses across the street from it.

this home is the one Donnie and I say we want..So gorgeous...so Southern


The playground has some rather strange play equipment I think it's more for the big kids... Really..... my little boys were so bored there....


Now the olders kids had a blast....it was fun snapping some pics of the crew though






Then we headed to a nearby lake which is infested with alligators.... but today all we saw was one little baby alligator who kept following us where ever we moved.....


I think he was a little hungry since it was around lunch time... and for some reason he kept following my toddler... quite creepy...


and thank God Ana was in the sling because that place is not very baby friendly...
at any moment a child could lose their balance and right into the alligators mouth...
yikes!!

bat houses across the street from the lake....right around dusk they all fly out....it's really cool


It was so much fun
even though it was about 100*

I forgot the sunscreen!
I should know better than to leave the sunscreen at home...
we should just eat a bit of it every night so it's in our blood system...
hmmm......can we do that???? :)


Soooooo..... when I lay my head tonight
 I will reflect on this day
a time of memorable mommy moments
a beautiful day cherished deep in my heart
to be remembered on those....
"not so good days"

I don't think I would do well with alligators!

It sounds like it might be around that time of the month? That is exactly how I feel and act when Aunt Flo comes to visit.

Wishing you a better today!

BTW, I'm so glad you are blogging again!

I'd be running the other direction in a hurry!! I can do motorcycles but NOT alligators. Have a great weekend.

Love all your pictures! I should take my kids to Lake Alice sometime soon. I do worry about the alligators eathing the little ones, though! Have to take Stu with me...

We should meet at dark some night and watch the bats come out. That would be fun!

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!!  I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful.   I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude.  I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much.  It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me.  I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!!  :(    I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly.  Seriously!  I was letting everything bother me!!  I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter.  I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden.  A burden that no one had put on me.  I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies.  After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

Turn that TV off!!

Finding time to blog has been a little tough lately.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's because I feel I don't have anything good to share but then again that would be totally out of character for me because I am one of those women who can talk your ear off for hours and share with you my life story.  Truly!  So.....not having anything to say is just a big excuse.....ok so maybe it is finding the time.  As of late, I've been really, really striving to do the best I can in being a good steward over my time, children, and homemaking.  My heart's desire is to have an orderly home, orderly children, and a peaceful atmosphere. There are those days where I dream of being in a place where life is a bit simple....where I don't have modern technology like computers, tv, game systems trying to grab the attention of my children.  I don't know why this is so easy to "default" to when a "break" is needed or when I need some "alone time" or j...
