computers can't live with them or without

I completely underestimated how much I rely on my (our) computer and I have to confess (typing on a blackberry bear with me) I feel a little disoriented without my computer at least on and it's not even on at this point (yikes)..
But I also have to confess I've kinda enjoyed my time without an extra distraction;I'v e really enjoyed the kids (despite three visits I mean four to the doctors)...that's a whole nother story. (Did I mention four within seven days...now your probably really wondering..and that I'd definitely a long story).
Anyway gotta get some sleep. Hope your computer is woerking better than ours.

Beauty Tip

Anyone who knows me well knows I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to beauty products and stuff...

Anyway.

I've always had a problem with a dry face, hands and feet.

I just heard of the coolest thing

"SUGAR" yep i said "sugar".

So what you do is a sugar rub on your face and hands it brings out the moisture in your skin making it baby soft.

It is so amazing and SO cheap!

Try it and let me know if it helps your dry skin.

(maybe this is an old remedy and i just never got wind of it, but it works)

still looking for the cord...i've looked just about everywhere...i think someone ate it...with a little sugar :)

My Struggle

My struggle.

I struggle finding a balance with the kids.

(I'll write since i can't find my cord I've been endlessly looking for)...

I try so hard to cherish the moments i have with our kids. After having one i know this time is so brief; our oldest is going into second grade next year i can hardly believe it.

I want to enjoy this precious time with them and make cookies, play, be creative and just enjoy each stage of their little life.

I get tired though, really really tired.

Kids get sick and i know it's temporary, but lately when one kids sick it's the other and the sleepless nights continue. Thankfully i feel like we are going to get a break and be well for awhile, but then it's something else.

I want to enjoy getting up with them and cherish our time together in the middle of the night.

But i get so so tired.

I need some tips here on keeping my perspective.

This morning it was just precious.

I took Dylan to school and read his "big boy devotional" in the car (part of it while driving) i know terrible huh.

Then i came home and the twins were just craving mommy time. So i sat down with them and had them each sit on a pillow on the floor (so they would stay put for more than 20 seconds) and did a toddler devotional with them.

O' my goodness.

They just laughed and giggled and it was so delightful.

However, being a twin mom it is so difficult to just stop sometimes and make them giggle and enjoy them it's just so busy and tiring.

So i guess that is where God steps in to guide me (us) raising them; enjoying the little precious times i do have with them and not regretting the times i don't and relying on Him to give me the strength i need to keep going each and every day with enthusiasm and energy.

Our kids need us, but it is a struggle isn't it?

o' my goodness

It's been forever since i did a post and it's been a eternity since I've seen my "camera cord" all the cords were in the same box, except for this one. I have so many great photos i can't wait to share and i can't find my cord. These things take time especially since in the last week we have had pink eye, kids with the flu, asthma attacks and a misc other aliment i don't even want to mention that stressed out the whole family. Hopefully those are all behind us now and i have time to hunt down the missing cord. Sorry for the delay.

(such a bummer i consistently spelled cord incorrectly...shows how tired I've been...)
