Starting out
Why blog? Everyone's doin' it:) I am not a follower of most usually but it seems that it could be almost like therapy...so here I go. I seem to start and stop blogs and/ or journals but I'm hoping since I've verbally said this that I will push on. I will use this blog as my way to show who ever...even if it is just my self that there are many forms to unwinding.
Finding joy is key! Where do you find joy? Is it in the kitchen, or at the gym? Is it snuggled up in your hubbies lap or relaxed all alone reading a book. Maybe you enjoy all of those. I know I do. I find complete joy in Gods presence. Where is that? Rest assure, I'm not a holier than thou person...just a normal...God seeking woman who fails...but always gets up and keeps on keepin' on. I will not be filling these pages with beautiful poetic words to make myself sound like I'm all that. No...I will try to be real...try to be as honest as I possibly can. I will fill it with my days, my food, my resources I use...What ever I'm doing, thinking, working on...I'll blog it:)
So, my journey begins.
I have a crew. 4 kids to be exact and they have all been sick this week. My oldest is just getting over the last of it. Ugh, I'm not used to sickness around here. We are pretty healthy people.Another thing about me you might need to know is that I'm a homeschool mom. Not a jean jumper, perfect hair, perky all the time, have it all together kind of homeschool mom (I know of none). Just a homeschool mom. I will share my struggles along with my achievements later. As I was saying. I was feeling like I should make the kids do something...some kind of school...I mean they ARE homeschoolers for goodness sakes. Then I remembered. I run this show. Their minds are so full of snot at this point that I could cram nothing else in, lol. The TV goes from cartoons to discovery channel (you really can learn a lot watching that channel...all kidding aside). That has been my background noise the past 2 days. It's ok b/c I have a new toy:)
The story starts....I love cook. I tend to be quite good at baking. I had a great stand mixture a few years back that wasn't getting the stuff on the sides. Instead of stopping the mixture and strapping the sides down, I decided to tilt the bowl. This led to my blade locking up and my motor burning up...bye bye mixture. Well, b/c I'm a penny pincher and was mad at my self...I was using my Grandma's hand mixture or elbow grease for everything. This was fine...it was like self punishment, I think. My sweet hubby finally talked me into getting another one (they aren't cheap) and I've been playing in the kitchen for the past 2 days. My house smell delectable! I can't believe I've waited so long to get one...it also assist me in keeping my area clean...we all love a clean kitchen. My unwind with 4 sick kids on top of being sick my self...enjoying my new mixture. Making cookies last night and muffins this morning and watching my family enjoy them...Ahhh, might be hard during but once done it's worth it.
