I am a follower of Jesus Christ. That means I am an imperfect sinner, saved by His grace, not a perfect person with all the right answers...but I do know where to find them. I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I work part-time for the radio station I worked for before my daughter was born and I am an independent salesperson for Initial Outfitters. My husband coaches high school football and baseball. Ironically, I really don't like score-keepers. I love organization. I love to help other people by giving them advice based on life lessons that I have learned...it makes me feel useful. I despise being ignored, and my biggest struggle is with giving advice and the recipient not following it. God is really working on me with this. I like to bake. Quiet people tend to freak me out a little bit, but people who talk too much are more annoying. I have a personality that my husband says is "In the 5%." I'm not sure what that means, but he usually says this in comparison with Nick Saban.
I have a lot to say, but I hope to only say things on this blog that glorify God. I may need some reminders about this.
Our life is crazy and is about to get crazier. I'm not sure what you think a stay-at-home-mom does. I can remember, when I was making $60,000 a year at something people called "work" (but was insanely fun to me) thinking, "If I ever get to stay at home with our children, it will be like a vacation all the time." <--- That is what you call "ignorance." I wake up, make breakfast, clean up the mess, get kids dressed, work on the work that I do that actually makes us money, do laundry, break up fights, wipe noses, change diapers, wipe bottoms, flush toilets, wash everyone's hands, give snacks, clean up the mess again, do laundry, play outside, clean up outside toys, plan dinner, buy groceries, balance our budget, make lunch, clean up more messes, get other people to take naps, pick up the house, schedule parties/make plans to attend parties, sweep, mop, dust, vacuum, windex, clean bathrooms, make dinner, make deals about eating dinner, feed the dog, give baths, put on pjs, kiss bumps and bruises, read stories, color, play house, play superheroes, play with blocks, teach life lessons, teach learning lessons, potty train, give lots of hugs and kisses, try not to lose my temper, pay bills and when I can...take a shower.
That is really the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to our life. But, I guess that's what blogging is all about. You will get to see what goes on with us as time goes on. Thank you for reading. God really IS working in our life. I hope to share with you all the amazing things He has done and is doing as time goes on. Until next time...
