Strike Over!

I went on a MOM strike the day after Mother's Day weekend. Noone even seemed to notice. Pretty much like every other day! So I guess it really doesn't matter whether I keep the house neat or not. Therefore I am going to work to satisfy a different purpose.

I Cor. 10:31; Whatever you do, do everything for God's glory.

Now I must work on the attitude. I will look to Proverbs 31.

There is no way to De-clutter Motherhood!

There really is no way to de-clutter motherhood! And I don't know if I would ever want to try. I love being a mother. From the time I knew I was expecting my first DS until now, have been some of the happiest and messiest times of my life!

I went to see the movie, The Backup Plan. Though the character chose an artificial method to become a mother, I can understand her reasons. However, this movie had a scene that described motherhood/parenthood in this way...."It's awful...then It's awful.....then It's magical" Funny stuff!

So, as I listen to my 10 year create music on his keyboard, ask him to hold it down ("It's too early on Saturday to play that thing!" is what I whispered downstairs, loudly.) Then he runs upstairs to turn on the TV, on the only morning that I have peace and quiet. With my coffee cup in hand, I will watch yet another cartoon, that I have hard time calling a cartoon, because I was raised on Bugs Bunny and the Flintstones, and in my book Kick Buttowski and Chowder don't count. And I will love every minute of it!
