These Moments

My dishes may be piled up on the sink,
The Laundry is waiting patiently in several piles for its next turn through the machine.
Beds are only partially made,
There are crumbs sticking to the bottom of our feet.


All this though is blurred into the background as I stare into the sweet yummy eyes of Master G as he so cutie asks "play mummy" How could I possibly say No.

And you know what I Don't. These are the moments that are fleeting and soon enough there will be another little one craving my attention.
So for now I take everything moment I can.

Battles and prayer

Battles are a common thing in my world at this present time.
This season that has started is one I know I'm not going to like very much.
There are more hard days then easy.
'Dragon mumma' has set up camp in our home.
This does not make for a happy home.
There is some darkness lurking.
If you pray I would appreciate if you said a little one for me.
A lot of prayer will be needed over the next little while.

{The Day After Sunday}

I know a day late but linking up with this gorgeous one.

Well lets start by saying that this past weekend was not all glamorous and fun filled as I had previously hoped it would be.
Hubby was going to be away for 4 days for work and I had big plans with the boys just us time.
Well that fell in the toilet as soon as we dropped him at the train station.
Both my beloved boys came down with nasty colds that left us indoors and watching movies, wiping noses constantly, tantrums, almost a full bottle of panadol (my best friend), and 2 very sleepless nights.

Although it seems that this weekend has only bought about sadness, it did make me realise something.
That I am a very capable mother.
I have been doubting my abilities a lot lately and allowing myself to dwell on this lie, in my opinion, probably way too long.
Though this weekend without my knight in shining armour, I managed to keep things together with little to no sleep and not lose my cool, well at the kids anyway, there may have been a moment of closed door and some breathing and prayer.

So this week I am walking tall in that knowledge that I AM CAPABLE.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
