It is Friday

I love today because tomorrow I get to sleep in for an extra hour. My husband called me from out of the blue this morning to come spend the day with him. As he was asking me this I was glancing at the dishes that needed to be done and the piles of laundry that I needed to put away. Hmm.....spend time with hubby or clean the house? I rather spend my time with my husband! It was a good thing too, because I was able to talk to him about what was in my heart. He gets so busy sometimes that we don't get that chance very often. So when we do talk I like to make the time count. It was wonderful to connect on that level without someone else wanting his time. He took me out to lunch later on and we did fellowship together. I am fortunate to have a husband who believes in the Father. We also talked about making time to do fellowship with our children. So far my day has been relaxing. We are heading out the door to see my eldest in her play at school. I hope I remember to bring the camera this time. Later on today I shall try to add some pictures to my blog. Thanks for being patient!

Another day in limbo

My day began at six this morning to get the kids ready for school. Fortunately for the children I get up somewhat happy. Nobody is allowed to say anything until I get my cup of tea in the morning . Until that time comes, I am physically aware but mentally challenged. My husband is always amazed on how I can get up out of bed and go a mile a minute. That my friends is what I call "auto pilot" . Sure, I am doing what is suppose to be done ,but in my head I am on a white beach getting a massage by one of the locals.
I help my husband too with his day. If I have time I get his gear ready to go and his shaving equipment on hand in the bathroom. He loves it when I take the time out of my schedule to make sure he gets what he needs. He works very hard for this family and spoiling him is my way of saying thank you. Sounds like a dream come true, huh? Well sorry to burst your bubble, our lives are quite normal in that there are times where we want to kill each other. Our struggles make who we are and that is the beauty of it. God did not make a mistake in putting us together. My hubby balances my weakness and boy do I have a lot of them.
We also have with us our friend's nineteen year old son with us. We have adopted him into our family and are helping him with his future endeavors. Today I was the taxi driver for his job hunting. The boy needs a job until he can join the military. I like having company at home sometimes but there is a time where a girl just needs to be alone. I am ashamed to admit my prayer time has been neglected with all the drama of everyday life going on. I need to get back on track with that.
My day today was spent cleaning the house and making dinner . The natives always come home hungry, so I like to be prepared for the stampede when it comes. Everything was going so well until my youngest decided to ignore natures calling and wet the recently cleaned carpet in her room. I was cooking dinner at the time when I heard the yell for help. By that time my left eye started to twitch and I felt my blood beginning to boil. I got her cleaned up and proceeded to steam clean the carpet again. Then I remembered I left the chicken unattended and I could smell smoke. Oh no! Luckily it turned out fine after I turned down the heat. I took the wet clothes to the laundry room to wash and I noticed my white towel I left on the floor had a yellow stain on it. I lifted that puppy up to my nose and about died. My husband's bulldog had been peeing on the towel and the door. I lost it big time and started to cuss in my native tongue. The dog knew what was up and hid behind my husband. Was it too much to ask for a peaceful night? Lucky for everybody my temper is not what it used to be. I fed everyone and went to take a very hot shower and prayed for a deflation on my emotional uproar. After I had my shower I felt so much better. I read to my children and gave them kisses. Being a full-mother and wife takes a toll on a person ,but I would not have it any other way.

I feel like a virgin.

Well, it is official, I am finally starting my personal blog and unfortunately I am what people call computer illiterate. So hopefully I won't go too crazy on creating the layout. I might shock myself!Hehehe.... That is why it it so good to have friends who actually know what they are doing(right Jackie). Now if you want to know how to cook than I am your girl. I am a housewife by choice and I am learning to accept that role with humility. So be prepared for my everyday normal day being a woman, wife,mother,christain, housekeeper, cook, gardener,pet owner, babysitter,actor,organizer,friend,taxi driver, hero, enemy, lover,hairdresser, entertainer, grocery shopper, and the ever so awesome taste tester of sweet things. What? I want to make sure I don't poison the family!! Just kidding, I am not a bad cook,at least I don't think so. Well if I can't laugh at myself once in awhile than why am I living. Life is too short to be wasted on being depressed. I love life! So have a wonderful day and Godbless!
