Why do you think that is?

  • I don't mind loading the dirty dishes into the dish washer but I HATE unloading it...Why do you think that is?
  • I have a hard time throwing away product containers, even when they are empty, the more I paid for it like Face stuff, Makeup or perfume, the harder it is to part with the empty container... Why do you think that is?
  • Sometimes I engage in verbal arguments with my eight year old and get right down on her level before I remember I'M the Momma and that wins all arguments...Why do you think that is?
  • Every other summer I have dreaded school being let out, yet this year I can't wait...Why do you think that is?
  • I am a big advocate for the kids having fun with sports and not putting pressure on them to achieve, yet at Katie's Soccer game yesterday I was yelling so loud Andy threatened to move...Why do you think that is?
  • I love my husband being home and can't wait for him to finish school, yet when he mentioned a few people dropping out of his program or only taking one class a semester from here to the end I almost hyperventilated thinking he was going to do the same thing...Why do you think that is?
  • I always say I want to make friends, but yesterday at Katie's game was the first time I have approached the other Mom's and talked to them. As a result reconnected with a friend from High School, made some good contacts, AND thoroughly enjoyed myself... Why do you think that is?
  • I fought pull-ups tooth and nail while potty training Ian, when I finlay gave in and put him in one to poop (two solid weeks of pooping in his underwear *HELLO HEATHER* who proved the most stubborn in that situation) He wore them for a week hardly peed in them, only pooped in them once and now is doing both in the toilet without any help, and NO pull ups...Why do you think that is?
  • I write long meaningless post when I'm home with my sick kid on a Sunday morning... Why do you think that is?

Ah, cool, don't you love it when you get an idea for a post that is all fluff and the Lord gives you a verse that makes it all make sense? Here goes... Romans 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. AND Philippians 1:6 ...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. That may have just been for me but I hope it spoke to you guys too.
