Welcome to my life

I hope that you enjoy reading about my life and things that go on in my world. I pray that my thoughts are encouraging and uplifting to you in some way. If I happen to have a day when things are not always so pleasant, please, I ask forgiveness ahead of time for being such a wet blanket. May God bless you richly.

Who am I?

I am a Christian woman trying to be the best I can be for the Lord. I am the wife of a wonderful Christian husband (Matt) of 20 years. I am the mother of five children. Three wonderfully sweet boys, Sean age 17, Joshua age 13, and Nathaniel age 4. On December 2, 2015 we adopted 16 twins Chris and Destiny. God and my family are the most important things in my life.

Life happens

My house is a disaster today(except the kitchen). I have laundry piled up in a chair, the floors need to be swept and vacuumed, the bathrooms need to be cleaned again and I need to dust. Oh and did I mention that I still haven't taken down the Christmas decorations. This has been a crazy week. With Matt being out of town, homeschooling and it being Joshua's birthday many things have been pushed aside. It's amazing how messy a house can get in just a couple of days. Now it is crunch time. Matt will be home tonight and sometime today I have to go grocery shopping. Did I mention that it is raining again today. That is two days in a row. I hate going grocery shopping in the rain. Everything gets all wet, even me. Somehow, I will get it all done.

At least today is only half day of school. The boys are pretty good at sitting and doing their work on their own once I have explained it to them. I check in from time to time to make sure they are completing it correctly. Speaking of school it is time for them to get busy.

As I am sitting here typing, I keep glancing down at my now 7 year old as he plays with his new castle. He can play so quietly sometimes. He's just placing all his little army men strategically around the castle getting ready for a battle. He is such a sweetie. Sean I believe is in his room listening to stories that Grandpa Kerbe read and recorded for him. Here he comes right now. He needs to eat breakfast now. It is time for me to do some more work so I will go for now. As much as I like to blog, I always find it interesting how people complain about not having enough time to do the things that need to be done but have time to sit down and blog or spend time on Facebook for who knows how long. Now I'm stepping on some toes, including my own today. I'll save that for another blog after I get some much needed cleaning done.
