I am not going to lie I have had a really rough week. I do not do well when I am tired. Almost all day Tuesday and Wednesday Emily cried all day. She slept in bed with us and she is a very wiggly monkey. She loved pulling my hair, tried to share her pacifier with me and ended up crashing with her lil bum in my face. All this sound cute and sweet but in the middle of the nite when you are tired its not so much. Then Thursday Rodney cried all day. He doesn't want to take naps and at around 5 he is so tired and cranky. Well all the boogies and crying for days does ware on a mom until you have a break down.
Anyway I was browsing through some blogs and found two blogs that broke my heart ( I am still crying about them) babycrouch.blogspot.com and ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com. These 2 mothers lost there babys and my heart is so sad for them. I cant even begin to express how sad I am for them. Then I started to feel so horrible for crying from lack of sleep, no time with my hubby, tons of boogies, a lil bum in my face, the kids fighting, ect. Not to say that I didn't have the right to have a moment of weakness because being a mom is the hardest job in the world but it is also the most rewarding.
My prayers are with those mothers. I am so grateful that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that I believe that families can be together forever. I am so grateful that I have 3 beautiful and healthy children.
Someone told Matt and I the other day to focus on The Prize not The Price. I really want this to be our family motto. I want to focus on the things that I have that are good in my life and count my blessing and not focus on the things that are hard. I want to be a lot more positive. So I know having this blog will be a blessing for me so that I can look back at the fun memories with my children and focus on the fun and not the hard days.

Love ya!
Boy...I agree with all of that :) Keep putting one foot in front of the other on those hard days, huh?! Your kids are adorable!
I love your blog. I had something similar happen to me this week. I was watching a show on t.v. about the dangers kids have now with internet bullies. I was overwhelmed with grief when I heard the parents explain how their kids were bullied on the internet but they didn't find out until it was to late. These beautiful children killed themselves and I was so sad for their family and the whole situation. I started crying and then thought of Christian, he just started 6th grade and is getting curious about adult internet stuff. Then I started to think of my own future children and my heart was full of sadness thinking of what that loss would be like.
I realized that I needed to pray because I knew God could lift my heavy heart and give me peace.
I have had a hard month and this week was the icing on the cake. God sent me an angel message and that was from you! You sent me a text and told me you loved me and I felt so blessed. Then I was teary eyed again but for a good reason. I can't begin to tell you how special you are! I thank God that I have you in my life.
Thank you for this post! It was really something I needed to hear! love ya.
