Sweet and Simple

Right now, I'm seeing how basic my life is. I am on such a schedule it's unbelievable how I feel when i break that schedule. Monday through Friday it goes a little something like this:
  • Wake up at 5
  • Shower
  • Go to work at 6
  • Come home for a break at 10
  • Go back to work 
  • Get off work at 1
  • Take a nap (if possible) with Kye
  • Bed time for Kye at 7:30
  • For me at 8
And that goes on Monday-Friday. But now it's Friday and Kye has been asleep for almost two hours. I don't have work early in the morning and I'm not so tired. So I am so lost on what I should do! Glad I got the idea to blog and just to write whats on my mind because I think I would of went crazy. I don't really want to watch anything on TV because I haven't been able to keep up with any of the shows since I go to sleep so early now. So I'm just sitting on the couch bored out of my mind.

With all that said, it's plain to see how simple my life is. I am a mom. And that's about it.Well, that's really it. Work two jobs plus being a full time mommy, and I can't say anything negative because I love it. If I could change my work schedule that would be nice because it does seem like I'm missing out some on my son and I really hate that. I worked 6-1 all week and now tomorrow I have to work at my other job 2-9. It really bums me out because I'm barely going to see my son tomorrow. What gets me through the day though is knowing that I am doing all of this for my son and in the long run it will pay off. I know it will. He motivates me so much and that makes a lot so much easier. If he wasn't here I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be waitressing again and probably just working the retail job a couple days a week.
As I'm sitting here on the couch I'm watching TV and by that I mean regular TV. I can't remember the last time I watched something other than BabyTV. I am watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory but I am not watching those baby sing along shows and it just feels weird. It's strange not going along with my every day schedule. 
I love my life being a mom. It's the most rewarding things there is and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
