Who took my kids??

That is the question I have been asking myself today! This past week I have been wondering who took my kids because every morning has worked like this.........I always try to be up and done with my devotions before my kiddos are up because God knows how much I need them, but when Ryan wakes up, he flips on the bedroom light to get dressed and in turn wakes up a very irritated sister. Then there is whining and sharp words back and forth until I walk in and break up the session with the promise of a swat if it doesn't stop and remind them their beds need made, room picked up and clothes on before coming out for breakfast. Then starts the arguing about who's is who's stuff and who will pick it up,(I never will know how a clean room before bed can get so messy again within just minutes of waking up!) and by breakfast two little bums are already sore!! You think this is crazy??!!!Well by the time School time rolls around I am exhausted and not ready to teach. Ryan is always excited for school time (just doesn't like printing A's), but Elli would much rather read a book or color all day(school? who needs that?!!) We start with prayer at 8:30am and by 4pm we are finally done, when we could of been done by 11am!! I am ready for bed right then, not even caring about what to fix for dinner. For all I care they can eat whatever they can find!!LOL!! I know that sounds bad, but sometimes I need a lot of forgiveness from God for my thoughts!!LOL!! Then I sit down put my feet up and wonder why in the world did I decide to home school!!Okay folks I know I am not the only one who has days like this....be honest now!!!
Okay this leads up today...........awe today, God knew I needed a calm day!! Ryan woke up and didn't turn the light on but got dressed in the hallway, Elli woke up happy and ready for school. Their room is still clean and the beds made with no complaining!!!WOW!!! With breakfast done and prayer over I braced myself for another long day, but we were finished by...........are you ready for this???? I am talking done with drills, tests, regular paper work, I mean everything was complete by.............10am!!!!!Yippee!! Wowee! Thank you Lord!! I have no clue who's kids I was teaching today but I enjoyed it very much! And God gave me an extra bonus added in, a friend brought over a pizza for my kids for lunch! Tonight my husband will actually get a normal meal because I have time to think about it and take the chicken out!!! No you know what I think we are going to have a yummy roast with potatoes and carrots!!Well friends I best go now and get the roast in the oven so it has time to slow cook all day!!YUM!!
So when ya think you are going to spend the rest of your life pulling out your hair, remember God doesn't want you bald and He will give you a day where you think God must of given me new kids in my old kids bodies!!!LOL!!
Just thought I would let you all see into this past week of mine!! Things are looking up! Praise the Lord!!
Have a great day friends!!
Aren't they so cute!! I just love them!!


Love Ya All,
