Well, I’ve definitely had an overfull plate this week. My husband and I were given his granny’s home when she passed back in September, we opted to sell it instead and set the money aside for bills and a down payment on a home of our own, now that the trailer has sold, quite quickly might I add, some of our bills can get paid, however, we’ll have a bigger dilemma, moving ourselves out of my m.i.l’s. I told my hubby tonite, that it was time to go anyhow, we’ve been here for a year and a half and so as not to have bad blood between the three of us, it’s time for us to go. It doesn’t per say matter where, but time to go. Then tonite, hubby gets bad news about his best bud’s brother, he committed suicide last night. He let Satan get inside his mind and thoughts, helped him alert authorities, and helped him shoot himself. Prayers be with his family this week and for Christmas and New Years.

I pray everyone has a great night. Hug and kiss your loved ones. Pay attention to them, you never know when they’re fighting a battle you know nothing about.

I have to do this quite often. How about you? If you don’t do this when you’re world seems to much to handle, then things could get really bad for you. I’m praying for everyone to have a wonderful weekend.

Lately, I take some of my family for granted. I take the time I have with them for granted. Has anybody else done this or is it just me? I bet not. So, I just wanted to say thank you to my hubby, my wonderful kids and both of my mothers for being in my life. I love you very much. I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Another thing that helps me get through stressful, frustrating times.

Another week has passed and I’ve realized,I really need to post more often. Neither here nor there, I’m here today. The hubby and I over the past couple of days have had our frustrating spats over finances, housing, and my incessant need to go back to work to help out, while he stresses about,”what has God told you to do?” As very faithful Christians, he’s pretty adamant about listening to God and being obedient to God. Now I’m not trying to deter anybody from coming here by sounding preachy, because honestly folks, I’m really really not preachy. If it sounds like I am, please forgive me. I guess I needed to vent/rant a minute, sadly, that’s what stay at home mom/wives do sometimes when they feel at their breaking point, being home all the time due to limited abilities, limited income and God’s call for you too be right where you’re at, at exactly the moment you’re getting the most frustrated. For any of you stay at home moms who feel like you aren’t doing anything to contribute to your household, you are and I’d like for anyone in this same situation to please come chat, vent, and hopefully feel like you’re in good company. Philippians 4:13I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength, this is one of my favorite verses that I quite regularly have to repeat out loud to myself when I get frustrated. For all the stay at home moms, truckers wives, and anyone else who needs a pick me up, have a blessed week and safe travels for all our drivers.

Good morning everyone. I’m hoping you all are having a wonderful day so far. I just happened to read a “hit you between the eyes”article that I’m sharing here, in my little corner of the world. For us sahm’s that quite often feel as if we’re not doing anything or we’re feeling a little inadequate. I know that’s me quite a bit, quite often it’s something to do with how my m.I.l views me that bothers me. Enough of my rant, have a blessed day guys and gals.

I’ve been frustrated and beaten up from Satan on many different levels regarding many different things. For instance,I know God has me at home with my children, homeschooling the youngest two for a reason. I know God has my family living with my mother in law for a reason. I haven’t figured out why, nor do i like it all the time, but even in the middle of my frustrations,I have to remember exactly how blessed I really am and that these frustrations are also for a reason.

Well, I’m back, again. I’ve had this laying on my heart for awhile and for some reason, have chosen to ignore it-too long. I’m no longer officially a “single” mom. However, I’m a wife to a truck driver so in essence that means I’m now a “married” single mom. How many of you ladies or gents out there are “single” mom/dads? Whether you’re actually single or married, widowed and regardless doing the job of both parents. I have been in the shoes of being an actual single mom……it wasn’t easy, but I survived and am still here to talk about it. It sometimes sucks. I say that, because today, well, the past couple weeks my hubby has been on a dedicated run through his company, but that means in the few hours he is home, he eats, naps, showers and leaves. It’s almost like I don’t have a hubby. I know I do, but sometimes I get so irritated w/his schedule. And after my few minutes of ranting and complaining, which by the way, did any of you know, that when you complain, you’re flipping God off? I didn’t even think of it that way until a couple weeks ago when my pastor at church was talking about it. Again, after my little rant, I have to stop and apologize to God and thank him greatly for having my husband, for my hubby having a job and a paycheck, no matter the size, thank him for having a place to live, even if it is in my MIL’s basement, and thank him for my family and the ability to be a sahmw and enjoy seeing and hearing everything that goes on in my hubby’s and children’s lives outside the house. I look forward to hearing about everyone else and their single parenting. Have a great night..

So I’ve been enjoying being a stay at home mom, but now I’m looking to go back to work, but from home. I’ve been researching quite heavily for just the right wah job. Along with trying to figure out if I can do it and homeschool my younger children or if It’ll be more economical to send them back to school and work from home, being there if and when something happens and still having an income. I’m looking for anybody out there that’s a sahm/wahm that has any pointers, suggestions, advice or anything that will help. It’ll help me for further getting approved for a home of our own soon. Have a great day everybody.
