Confessions!

#1. I do sometimes yell at my kids

#2. I do sometimes get mad at my husband

#3. I do sometimes let my kids watch Sponge Bob

#4. I do sometimes pay over $2 for a cup of coffee

#5. I do sometimes eat fast food

Notice all the "sometimes" in the above confessions? "Sometimes" is such a relative term :o) That's why I like to use it. I just wanted the few of y'all that read my blog to know that I am far from perfect. I do try to focus on the positive in this blog, but we have many faults and thank the Lord He does not give-up on us.  My wise husband is always reminding me that raising 9 kids isn't easy, but it is so rewarding.  Like last night he asked me, "Did you think raising teenage boys would be a piece of cake?" I had to honestly answer that I hadn't thought about that when they were toddling around in their Jon Jons. They are great boys though, and I know I need to keep my eye on the big picture.  Happy Parenting!

  5. I can't imagine how you do it (and do it so well)! It must be an anointing from the Lord.

    Bless you!
