Life just got me....

I missed a day, but things were kind of crazy around here for a day. But I am back and here to post.

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a Stake Releif Society activity tonight and it was wonderful! It wasn't a real "activity", more like a dinner a program. The program was these ladies who sing songs and talk about "life" as a mom and how crazy things can get at your home as a mom. It was funny, sweet and very inspirational. They talked about things that are "expected" of us a LDS mothers, wives and members. One thing that was said that I thought was hilarious was this lady was talking about how we are expected to do all of this stuff and by the time we get all this stuff (reading scriptures, exercising, relaxing, cooking dinner, raising our kids, being taxi, saying our prayer....) done we are down on our knees and realize that we don't have time to go to bed and that it is time to start all over again.

One lady talked about how she looked in on her sleeping toddler and thought how sweet he looked laying there in bed but had you been in her house that afternoon you would have found everything in utter mayham. The child would have been climbing on the table, knocking things off of the table, knocking things off of the counter, throwing toys, etc....When she was talking about this I thought of my sweet Koy the little terror that he is.

This one lady was talking about how we are mothers to kids on our primary classes and she made the comment about nursery. She said it is the celestial black hole and it is the greatest place. All you do is play with toys, play with kids, eat treats and the world is great and the church is true! It was hilarious and this program was wonderful! I felt so renewed, releived, and didn't feel like I was alone and that others were going through similar situations that I am.

I am so proud to be a mommy, a wife and a woman. I have many things that I need to work on, but not one single person is perfect. If I rely on the Lord and ask for his help and to ask him to be with me all the time then I can make it through the good the bad and the ugly.
