My son, I do love him and adore him. However, I don't understand him. I grew up with sisters, no brothers. So I don't know how boys grow up. I am continually asking Josh, or my friend w/ 3 boys, if he is "normal"

For example, right now, its all about killing, cutting arms off, beating up, getting the bad guys. I finally had to tell him to only tell his dad about that for now. Mommy doesn't like all that stuff. Daddies like that stuff.

Then today, he is singing in the back to the tune of "God is so good to Me"
God is so Stinky
God is so Stinky
God is so Stinky
He's so Stinky to me.

SIGH

Then 2 minutes later, Mom, I love God, I want the whole world to know God. Mom, I was telling my sister about God, that God loves her so much, but she has to be careful because God sees when you sneak cookies....

I love my son!

I have got to learn how to work this. I think if my blog looked cute and happy I would write much more... (I like to think that)

I have a pretty easy life. I get to live in the USA, my husband has a job and makes a good living. We get to live in lots of different places... I am BLESSED!

So why do I get depressed? Why do I look at the negative? Why am I wired this way? Why do I love to eat so much I am struggling losing weight?

As I've been asking myself all of these questions. And I know, I just had a baby, I'm not sleeping, etc. etc. I will always have excuses. But what does GOD want me to do about it? If I have serious cravings for food, can I transfer that craving to God? (does that make sense) If he gave us all these emotions, and our temperaments, I am supposed to just suck it up, or find out how to use it, the good bad and ugly, without whining... argh, its so hard to explain what I am thinking!

Anyway, I am exercising, and I do like that. I just need to eat less...

Husband just called, he wants to go somewhere out tonight, and it involves ice cream. He said, "Honey I am here to plump you up" (in reference to the old SNL skit) And he made me laugh out loud!!!

anway, here is a picture of my wonderful children whom I adore... they do make me smile... and I HAVE to learn to put the picture in the right place... does it always go to the top when you insert them?

Just read thru all the posts on my old blog. It brought back a lot of good memories. I wrote down things about my kiddos that I didn't remember. So I am going to try.

We are moving to TN! I am nervous and excited at the same time. I don't know anyone down there, I don't make friends easily. But I hear our new neighbors are nice, and we have a nice place.

Kiddos have had colds, and baby has decided not to sleep the last few nights, so I am on little sleep... which is fine, but my mind goes to funny places.

My kids make me laugh. Cole today said, "Mom, I'm weird, but I'm really funny." That should be our family slogan.
