Even at the end of a most harrowing day, I feel so blessed....& really, truly I can't complain.

I sit here writing with a full heart, but even so my brain cannot let go of the fact that I have a sink full of dishes & pots & pans to wash too. Then I have the multiple laundry baskets full of laundry folded but not put away...sigh. My house is an organizational disaster & I truly am a combination of both my parents who are both pack rats in their own ways. My husband is the same & his parents are too & together he & I are a super-sized disorganized disaster. Then on top of that we have our 2 wild boys to add into the mix. Yesterday I texted one of my brothers that I felt like my life was spinning out of control. My 4 year old was having a melt down of epic proportions as he tends to do when upset or disappointed & my 1 year old wouldn't nap & water had just gotten spilled all over the floor, and on & on it went. I want to call Super Nanny & the Clean House crew. I'm too disorganized to even organize a garage sale for all this stuff.  I used to watch the old TLC show Clean House right after C was born 4 years ago...if only I'd been cleaning then, perhaps things might not have gotten this far.  

Last night C & mowed the lawn at 7pm for daddy with C's "not a toy" lawn mower & E discovered how to use a squirt gun in the bath tub & is still today so, so proud of himself....it's pretty much the funniest thing ever.

My boys are wild & my boys are wonderful. They make me cry, but mostly they make me laugh.

Hope to get an iphone soon so maybe I can be an actual blogger...watch out world...hope you're ready for my ramblings.

'Well, today I didn't do it.'

Someone posted this on Facebook & I thought it was pretty funny ;)

A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?...
''Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'

Remembering Chuck Colson & a life truly transformed

A belated post from this past weekend's loss of Chuck Colson.  His life was an amazing example to the power of the Gospel and a life truly transformed.

Joni and Friends posted this beautiful tribute with one of my favorite songs:

This world will miss you Mr. Colson, but I'm sure you heard that day, "Well done my good and faithful servant" Awesome :)

It's official! I've started a blog, and as for the title I've chosen, well, that's a story for another day as I'm off to get my little ones to bed ;).
