Busy Mom= Blog Slacker

So I know, it's been FOREVER since I blogged!! Excuse #1: I had a really rough pregnancy, and it was just really hard to be motivated to do anything at all. Excuse #2 Then...I gave birth to a
10 1/2 pound baby and realized why I was so miserable while pregnant. I was carrying around all this pressure that made it so hard for me to even stand or walk. Excuse #3: AND THEN...life with three kids became a reality to me, and it was CRAZY!! The first month was HARD!!! It still is hard but getting easier as Cruz is getting older. My girl's both adjusted to having a baby brother in different ways. Makenna (4) required more attention, and Alexa (2) acted out and became what some would call a "terrible two year old." I am more convinced today that being a parent is THE HARDEST JOB ever. As much as I complain and endure the tough days with 3 young children, I know God has given me the GIFT of being a mom for a reason and I can't take that forgranted. I LOVE MY CHILDREN! They are all unique and special in their own way. And I'm praying that God gives them unique gifts to use for His good. My days are crazy right now. The NEEDS of three kids is overwhelming, but I just keep praying that God helps me get through the days with joy and peace somehow. I also have decided to homeschool Makenna, and have started Pre-K school with her. That is also challenging with a two year old and 3 month old to care for. So although life is very busy for me right now, I just have to stop and think about how one day I am going to look back on these days and miss my little babies. Cruz is such a GOOD baby. VERY, VERY thankful for my sweet boy. And he sleeps a lot which I am not used to. Makenna never slept, Alexa was better, but Cruz is by far my best sleeper.

So needless to say blogging has been put very FAR down on my list of things to do lately. A midst all the chaos, I know I can't do any of this without God. And know that I need Him daily. So returning to the blogging world is going to be a slow gradual process. Stay tuned!
