Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

The view from here

My kitchen is an utter disaster. I mean really terrible. I thought about taking a picture but really... it's to painful. It's not under demolition or anything... i just haven't cleaned up after making meals today and grocery shopping. Instead I'm sitting here, writing on my blog. I long for a nap and a hot bath... i long for a clean home and quiet time. I long for little boys to be in bed sleeping peacefully instead of running aorund the house screaming "I'm a WARRIOR, I'LL SAVE YOU" (though i do love it so when they do that). I long for a brain that doesn't currently feel so fragmented. Those things currently are not on my list until children are tucked in bed and the dishes have been cleaned and laundry folded and put away.
I've had a pretty crazy week hormone wise and I'm needing to go back on some supplements i previously was on. No big deal... but until my system gets more evened out I'm kinda on the fritz and i think those who are suffering the most are my children. My patience in less then usual and my responses are less then loving. So this is me, last week, today, this week, and hopefully not for long. I've been working on eating good, drinking lots of water and taking breaks as often as possible so i don't feel so overwhelmed.

OKay... I'm gonna go tackle that kitchen now and rock out to some worship music.
