I am back. I took a couple of weeks off. I have had so much to do and tried to capture pics, but I never got all 5 for the week.

1. camera phone 

This is my youngest baby girl. She decided to sit on the basket at the back of a shopping cart. I know there are some bad things in the cart but I thought it was so cute, so I grabbed my phone!

 2. camera

1. This cali girl misses the peaceful visits to the beach, now that I live in Texas.

 

2. Anyone that knows me should feel loved, because I go out of my way for anyone that needs it.

 

3. When I hear my three beautiful daughters laugh, I am reminded that life is awesome.

 

4. Lucky is being a woman.

 

5. It is a smart to let your loved ones know just how much you love them each and every day.

 

 

This is my first week to follow but I truely enjoyed participating.

 

This really spoke to me!

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you are perfect as you are. God doesn't create faulty life. No. Everything created by God is perfect, and so are you. So stop driving yourself mad with endless ways to improve, and just accept the glory of your being as is.

This is todays daily message from a facebook app. Since I am on  journey to find balance in my life this really spoke to me. Now how to I get people in my life to realize this and stop takinga advantage of me?

just one of those days!

My day started out fairly well. my older girls got up and ready for school without too much whinning, and they got to school on time.But now I am feeling overwhelmed in my wifely duties. My one year old is having one of those days where she doesn't want anything but to be held, and is super whiney. that makes it bit difficult to do any house work. The only reason I can do this is she is on my lap. Today i feel held down without being able to move a muscle. I have come to enjoy being a house wife a bit but when do I get a day off? I don't get to sleep in on the weekends because I do have a one year old, and the weekend is my husbands chance to sleep in. Plus if she wakes up in the middle of the night she wakes him by playing with him. If I take a nap or don't get enough house work done during the day it makes me look lazy so I very rarely take a nap. But why is it the first time in a long time I lay down with my girl, my husband comes home to find me napping? That just makes it look like that is my daily routine, when in fact I normally take advantage of nap time and get things done. I feel like my whole life has become filled with everyone else but how do I find me? Can't do with a baby attached to me, or when my other two girls come home from school, and weekends are out so?

JOINED IN ON THE BLOG HOP HOPING TO GET MORE FOLLOWERS. MAYBE I SHOULD MAKE MY BLOG MORE INTERESTING!

Changes!

Today is the day my middle brother comes back to Texas. This is bitter sweet because he has made so many bad decisions lately. The mother in me just wants him to be happy, but he needs to find himself. He is one of the believers that December 21, 2012 is the Apocolypse. This has made him not care how his life goes because it is ending soon. My goal has been to make him see that even if life is ending soon, we need to make it the best we can. Of course this has been difficult because last year he found our brother dead in his bed, at the age of 21. It seems I can talk until I am blue in the face and he doesn't see that even with this hurdle life can be good. Now that he will be around me again I just hope I can get through to him.

 Scavenger hunting was interesting this week.

 1. capture the sky

I have soooo many pictures of the sky. I take at least one pic everyday of something in the sky that captures my eye. A fellow scavenger hunter told me I was not allowed to go into my archives for this pic. 

2. life

Yay my grass is showing signs of life!

3. everyday

At first I could not figure out what I want to snap for this, but soon it became aparent. This is my baby brother, Travis, he passed away last year at the young age of 21. So my everday is filled with thoughts of him

4. furry

I didn't want to take a shot of an animal because I figures that would be a common photo.

5. blurry

We went to a birthday party at a skating rink. I took this picture of a friends son as I was flying by.
