Today was unfortunately a rough day. It kind of started yesterday though. It was Corbyns b-day so we had a fun busy day. We went to the park where we all got sun burned lol. Then a busy filled evening trying to get ready for our Mother Daughter luncheon for the achievement day Girls tomorrow afternoon.

Once I got to bed sleep didn't last long before Corbyn started waking up (I wish he would sleep through the night) I don't know if it was the sun burn or what but he was SUPER hot. I took his temp but it wasn't even over 100. and he was coughing. So anyway after a super rough night with little sleep we began our day at 7:30 starting with Carsyn's soccer game at 9:30 then once that was over we rushed home to change clothes and went to the church to set up and get the luncheon ready. The luncheon went smooth and as planned. but by the time we were finished cleaning up and I picked up Carsyn, Corbyn had had it. It was now 2:30 and his nap couldn't wait any longer. And I was running on fumes myself. I managed to squeeze in a little snooze. but when I woke up I realized just how messy and dirty the house was. so I tried to make it some what presentable this evening but for some reason both boys were just so tired. Corbyn wouldn't let me do much of anything. and they both fought going to bed.

Then I realized around 6:00 that all of the boys Sunday clothes are in the dirty pile..ARGH! So now I have to start laundry so late in the day. I have to do 3 separate loads in order to get everything they will need. I'm going to be up late doing that.

I'm so glad that today is over.

Lately I've just been so stressed, tired, busy, and just overwhelmed. and I think it's all starting to hit me. I try to just get out of bed every morning with a smile and try to be the perfect SAHM (stay at home mom), but every once in a while I just need to tell everyone No I can't and stay in bed all day with the curtains closed.

Sorry to be a whiner but I'm so ready for bed.

Will you share?

Isn't this a sweet picture?

LOOK FOR THE GOOD.......

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.'

The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'

'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.'

'For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Soccer Champ!

I never thought that I would ever be a Soccer Mom! Carsyn had his first ever game today. He did such a good job! He only used his hands once. It was so funny because everytime the other team scored a goal (witch was a lot) he would come running over really upset and say "Mom, I wanted to win" I would tell him that he's doing such a good job and then he would say "but they keep getting it in the goal". It was so funny. Corbyn also got in on the fun. He was yelling from the sidelines just as loud as I was.

Hand Stamped Treats

Carsyn had to take treats to his game today and I hadn't stamped for sooooo long so I decided that I wanted to make them fun..:)

This is what I came up with.
