A much needed place for honesty in my daily life of being a mom.

Life is good...

My husband lost his job. There internet, I said it. It has been a hard month and having my man at home ALL THE TIME is not my idea of an ideal situation. Honestly, I like being lazy, I would like to sit around all day and have kids who do not need to be constantly reminded to put their clothes in the laundry, shoes in the closet, toys on the shelf, etc. That being said the only time I am ever sitting and doing what I want to for myself is after all 3 kids are in their beds and I sit down, check my email and have some dvr time. Of course I do have time alone when I am running errands, grocery shopping, while all the kids are at camp or school, but I feel like I am never truly relaxed. I rush through my morning shower even knowing full well the kids are sleeping, I rush through getting the kids breakfast, packing lunches and even bedtime. I think I somehow rushing to get to the end of the day when I can have that time just for me. Is that selfish? Probably, huh?

Anyway, the title of this post, life is good, is about how I has an absolutely relaxed evening tonight with my husband while at a baby naming ceremony. I ran into about a gazillion people I knew and it was just nice to be with people. I enjoyed the conversation, catching up with people and just being with my husband, who I really do love with all my heart and soul.

It just goes to show you that even though our situation is not the greatest right now, being with friends who care about you and have your best interest at heart can really be just what we needed all along. And even more surprising that I would say in light of my husband have no job life really is pretty great.

Here is a new picture of all the kids from this past week. Just thought I would share them with you. Enjoy :)
