She'll write something similar that usually ends with "I'm now typing this with a bottle of wine in the closet..." Such a crack up!

I had to have them all ready and out the door by 7:45. Not sure how we did it, but we did, with a few minutes to spare. I was so glad we did, we had a great message that morning!<br /><br />Your family is just gorgeous, btw!Sugarplum Creations Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404300168941549805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386400953915493212.post-6634906551280962002009-04-15T09:50:00.000-07:002009-04-15T09:50:00.000-07:00Since becoming a mother, "Ha!" is pretty much my m...Since becoming a mother, "Ha!" is pretty much my mantra.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12321505516350090098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386400953915493212.post-17026469828634501372009-04-14T09:06:00.000-07:002009-04-14T09:06:00.000-07:00OH I hear you!

Your children are darling and you will look back on this many years from now and forget the hassle and remember the sweetness. <BR/><BR/>It is so hard to get children ready for church on Easter Sunday, thank God I can motivate with "There's going to be an egg hunt!" Nothing motivates more than candy, right? <BR/><BR/>The best line I heard in church this morning was this: "Despite all our troubles, Jesus took care of the hardest one didn't he?".<BR/><BR/>Keep the faith girl !

On Easter Sunday, no less. <BR/><BR/>My husband has to be at church early on Sundays, to run the sound, so I'm left alone to get the girls ready. We stayed up SOO late last night, so it was hard to get going this morning. BUT, I did it! And we were only about 15 minutes late, lol. We did manage to get a family picture after church, but only b/c I demanded it! I've regretted it so badly in the past couple years, not getting a family picture on holidays. <BR/><BR/>Then I worked for like an hour and a half, busting my bum to get the church books done, so I wouldn't have to go back this week with Saylor. I barely got my food, then it was time for the easter egg hunt. As soon as I sat down to eat again, Saylor took off. Of course my husband was off playing softball by then, so I had to chase her again. At one point, I sat on a dugout bench with Saylor away from everyone and wondered why I was feeling resentful about somethingthat I should be LOVING and CHERISHING. And I do. But sometimes it's so easy to just get caught.up. In the chaos. Ya know?? <BR/><BR/>So all that to say, that I totally get it. Don't feel too bad. I say focus on that good word from today. Focus on the good things from your day. You have 4 wonderful kids. A wonderful husband. You're all healthy. Don't pass the time along too fast. You'll regret it later. :) <BR/><BR/>Happy Easter Jen! I don't want to sound all super spiritual, b/c believe me, I'm not, but I'd encourage you to really try and remember that today we celebrate Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. For us. He cared SOOO much for us, that he hung on a cross and died. How much then would he care about all those little things in our lives? He cares.
