HELP!!!!!!!

Yes i know what your thinking 2 posts in one day, whats gotten into her.
I tell you its those adorable ankle biters who quite frankly are making me second guess everything I have learnt about one of the hardest jobs on the planet....MOTHERHOOD.
Ever since hubby started working a proper 8-5 office job, things have been more and more hectic and all the patience i can muster has been tested.
I am certainly beginning to doubt my competence, and to be quite honest I see more of cranky and I mean CRANKY mummy more often then I like.
Most of the day things are quite good, Master G and I hang out, play, watch movies, colour, and visit friends. He is still napping in the day so that allows me to get a couple of hours to myself which is amazing.
Then 3pm rolls around and its time for school pickup. Most of the time this starts out great. Master D and I chat about his day and what he learnt and what games he played with his friends at lunch.
Then everything shifts, EVERY afternoon without fail he is asking if he has to do his jobs, can he just do one. Or he just straight out tells me he is not doing them that day. I know that may sound a little lame but when its every afternoon and I lovingly explain that the jobs we have set for each day is so that he can learn to take responsibility for his things and learn to help mum and dad around the house, by the third day I have just about had it.
Then comes the drama once we get home, everything comes with an argument, whinging, you name it I get it. I ask him not to do something so he goes ahead and does it. I am so sick of hearing my own voice saying the same thing over and over again.
Which leads me into the crazy ZOO hour/s, those that have young children will know that time when all hell breaks lose, the animals burst out of their enclosures with every intention of creating major feral mayhem.
Now I'm at complete loss.
I have had enough.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you more than capable mothers reading this keep your ZOO hours down to minimal damage???????????????

Got any great scriptures that you use to help you??????

Things I'm Loving...

Linking up with this lovely lady today

This week has been one of the worst weeks I have had in awhile.
After my last post about having more energy, it was zapped again this week with a violent tummy bug.
At first I thought it was just morning sickness sticking around for a little longer, but then I took a turn for the worse.
Lets just say it was certainly NOT a pretty sight and neither is my face at the moment :( I'm pretty sure I burst 9o% of my blood vessels on my face and neck.
Anyone know of a good remedy to help them settle back down and disappear?

So my reason of Thanks this week is my INCREDIBLE hubby.
After working some pretty crazy long hours last week and the start of this week he has done about 20 loads of washing, including bedsheets from when i kindly shared my yuckiness with our boys, poor little munchkins, cleaned and disinfected all of the rooms in the house, and if that wasn't enough he was getting up during the night with the boys to help me rest.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hands down Hubby of the Year.
Hears to praying he stays well.

Energy my beloved companion....

The Last few weeks my beloved friend and companion ENERGY has been extremely vacant and unfriendly.
Suffice to say not a lot has been done around here.
The lounge has been my constant friend.
Thankfully we are heading into the second trimester now so Energy is finally making an appearance.
My house is very thankful.
So are my children lol.

{The Day After Sunday}

Linking up with this Lovely Lass today. (Cant quite figure out how to add the button )

Well what an incredible weekend we got to experience.
This weekend marked the 3rd Anniversary of my hubby's horrific motorbike accident that had him check into heaven for 3 long minutes, Though God had bigger plans for him.

We were counting our MANY blessings that this significant weekend has bought over the years.

The First being our incredibly handsome and cheeky second son Master G who was actually due on the first anniversary date of the accident though decided to come a wee bit early so we were able to celebrate with our little miracle in our arms, whom would not be here had Jesus not miraculously bought his daddy back to us.

Secondly we were this year able to celebrate yet another miracle. YES you heard me....ANOTHER miracle.
By the grace of God and His Faithfulness we announced this weekend that the next little miracle for our precious family is safely tucked away in my belly and it is not going anywhere.
After the last few months of heartache our Joy has come, God is fulfilling His promise and thankfully we did not have to wait too long.

So very Thankful this sweet day after Sunday
