I must confess....

   I must confess, I feel unworthy of this life sometimes.  We don't live in an extravagant house, or drive brand new vehicles, but life is pretty good.  I mean, most families need 2 incomes to make it.  We chose when our twins were born, to live on one income.  It's amazing beyond my comprehension how God has blessed us.  He blesses me everyday.  I love my husband.  I love these kids!  I love being able to Homeschool!  We are able to control what they learn and don't.  I'm able to be with them for all of those fun, and special moments.  Don't get me wrong, I still daydream about that big yellow bus, but life just doesn't get any better than this.  I know being "settled" and "content" are choices, but I also know God has done a great work in my heart.  Without His direction in my life, I don't know where I'd be today.  Where would these kids be?  What kind of people would they be?  I'm not sure. 

    I must confess, I enjoy cable tv, and all of its totally useless, time consuming shows.  About 90% of the time, the living room tv is on a kid station, but I still enjoy cartoons!  I would tell you what I watch, but.....you might look at me funny.

    I think I should confess, that I am in total LOVE with dachshunds.  Just FYI.  They are the cutest little dogs God ever made!

   One more confession, for those of you who don't know me to well...I try to sneak a nap in when nobody is looking.  Sometimes, I hide behind a mountain of laundry on my bed...sometimes I sneak off to one of the kids beds', and sometimes I just crash on the couch.  I can sleep with 4 kids, 3 dogs and Shane horsing around on the living room floor.  You'd think I get up early or something!  Haha!  I don't! 

  That's all of my confessions for today.  If I were Catholic, I'm sure I'd feel a lot better...but I'm not!

  1. So true! The blessing to be able to be home and be the wife and mother that God allows you to be is so wonderful!

    However...I don't know that you've really confessed anything here. I was hoping to learn a secret :D... But a nap and dachshunds and useless tv...I knew all of that! Give me something new!!! ;)
