Once in awhile he gives me a moment. It’s my challenge to soak it up when it happens.

Monday, May 25th, 2009This photo was 3 weeks ago. That week I woke up and knew what my photo would look like. I wanted a photo that really showed how I felt at that moment. I get into these funks sometimes and I’m sure a lot of mom’s out there know what I’m talking about. Loneliness starts to creep in, even though I have 3 beautiful children, a husband who is crazy about me, wonderful friends, a God who is with me every day, etc, etc. Being a stay at home mom can be very isolating, even though I do quite a bit out of the house. Anyway, that week passed and I am thankful for it. I know weeks like that will come again, I get better at handling them each time they arrive. I don’t need anyone to do anything for me, or to rescue me, its just me…and I have learned to be ok with it. Ok with setting me aside, tending to my babies, making sure they are fed, clothed, happy, learning, feel loved, while I….I….I don’t know about me. Standing there making lunch for my children, longing for His presence, feeling tiny eyes watching me in total wonder, I hold fast to the One who gives me strength…
“You keep him (her!) in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he (She!) trusts in you.”
—Isaiah 26:3

Gotta love the guilty look! She’s tall enough now to swipe things off the table and her sissy’s mega huge new pencil was the coveted object. Maybe it made her feel like a big girl ♥

…just catching up!
Week 43/52…at the library. We go quite often, I love it. The smell, the mounds of books, how quiet it is. I was certain I was the only one who still checked out books…but then I asked on facebook and people came out in droves. The library totally rocks! We got a lot too since we homeschool. Anyone else out there homeschool? This is the first year for us, just Kindergarten. Certainly more than I bargained for, but I’m having fun!
Week 44/52…yay for Daddy coming home! Taken outside the airport after picking him up!
I found week 39

Buried deep in photographs, I found week 39. Is anyone else as bored with this project as I am??? Seriously, it feels like I take the same photo over and over. Who really wants to see me in photographs anyway!? I get boring…my kids, other kids…they are very interesting! I need to remember why I am doing this, to get me in front of the camera, to document memories, to have a journal of sorts for a whole year. I’m not doing this for anyone reading this blog, even though I truly appreciate those who visit and comment and keep coming back. But I need to keep telling myself that in just a couple weeks I will be able to look back and see each week what we were doing and what was happening, a whole year of photographs. Just…keep…going…
Ok, little vent over. I’m just having a tough week. The girls are sick, the hubster is out of town, I don’t feel so great myself. SO – this is week 39, the week we moved. We cleaned and cleaned (and got our whole deposit back!) so it was worth it. But we pushed the kids quite a bit that week, we needed to get out of our rental and into our home. I was resenting cleaning the rental because I wanted to be cleaning our new place! I scrubbed so many walls, so many windows, so many floors, x2. I just had to take a picture of it. LOL.
I’m behind in posting photos…but I’ll get caught up with week 43 & 44 this weekend!
