I really do want to become a more intentional blogger - but first I (not by my own strength mind you) I want to become an intentional wife, mama and friend. I am blessed with an amazing husband that I am so proud of. I probably don't tell him that enough - but he has been setting up a business and working so hard for our family. It's different to a year ago when I had him home full time (unemployed) and it has probably taken a good half a year to find my own groove back BUT I am so thankful for the way he works for our family. He loves us and works hard to provide for us.Being a mama is a work in progress. I am learning to count to twenty lots (ten just doesn't cut it at the moment). A God-given attitude is what I crave the most ... and somehow to impart that to my little people. We're in the middle of crazy nights - but if I go by the rest of them, there should only be about 600 more nights of broken sleep ... but I want to aim to enjoy those 600 nights of night-time settlings and snuggles and feedings. I know I all too often wish things away ... but now I am finding myself going ... I don't remember when ... I want to slow down and remember.
Every time I think of my friends I get these amazing warm fuzzies. I am so spoilt and blessed with my friends. And even more amazingly - some of these wonderful women I haven't even met in real life, but I count them among my closest friends. The ones who I know will understand if I ring up and cry out or count to twenty with them on the other end of the phone. The ones I ring because I need to get off my butt and do some housework (tell you what - amazing how much I can get done in 20mins while yakking on the phone). The ones who sing good-night songs to my wee ones over skype (love you!!!!) who take the time to love me, my kids and our family. Those who gently challenge my thinking, encourage my walk with God and bless me with prayers.
Right, my five minutes are up ... I need to go and sort out whether DS2 is going to be a pirate or a fire-fighter. Big decisions here for make-believe play. Blessings my readers and sisters!
