Where did the Weekend go??

Well if you are a mom, you know how crazy life can get sometimes. This weekend was no exception between Upward Cheerleading and Basketball games and baseball practice. Let me give you a peak into my busy weekend. It all starts back at Thursday night where I attended my first women’s journey group meeting. We are study on how to pursue God and exactly who this God is that we are pursue. It is a great study and I am so excited about being apart of this group on Thursday nights. Well every other Friday I have off from my job – that is the perks for working for the government. So Friday was a day of errands. I started the day by taking the kids to school, then off to a doctor’s appointment, then story time with my oldest child at school, then off to meet the point person for the military ministry we are starting at church, then grab the kids from school, take the youngest to sign up for softball, the finally over to Mimi’s for dinner. It was a full day for sure. Saturday was no different. Coached Addyson’s Upward Cheer squad at 10 AM then Cade’s basketball game at 11AM – then rushed to baseball practice at noon. Needless to say I was pooped so I took a 2 hour nap that afternoon. I woke up and my wonderful husband had made dinner. So we ate and had family game night. After the kids were asleep we sat by the fire and watched Fireproof the movie. Let me just say what an awesome movie that is. Sunday was of course church and then home to do chores and rest for the week ahead.

This week is a lot of the same. We finally got my father-in law into a nursing home which he is moving into today. Tonight is Upward cheerleading and basketball practice. Thursday the women’s group, Friday baseball practice again, and then Sunday we start our Starting Point group at 4pm. So all of you mom’s out there I know how tired you can be. I work full time and I am out of the house every morning at 5:20 AM and return home at 5:00 PM every night. I would not change my life for anyone else’s because my kids and family mean the world to me. Oh yeah - me and hubby are trying to have another to add into the crazy mix. I have followed what the doctor instructed me to do and we have prayed over it and things seem to be working.
One last thought for today - Moms are often not appreciated enough and their hard work and sacrifice usually goes unnoticed. It makes me think about how we treat God sometimes. Most of the time He is not appreciated enough and His sacrifice goes unnoticed. Take time today to thank your mom and God for all they have given you.
