Hello everyone I have been thinking over the last few days about blogging and what I wanted to blog about. I have tons of extremely funny things to talk about or at least things I find funny. However I am a regular person just like everyone else. This means that sometimes I am sad, happy, scared, depressed, silly and more. I try to be that person who looks at life like the glass is half full but sometimes the damn glass is almost empty. Today I had a very interesting conversation with my friends Kristina and Nichol about how I sometimes feel like a bad mom. I feel like I can’t buy the things for my children like they need. I have 4 kids and that can get really expensive and clothes cost tons. Now for starters let me tell you that I am a bargain shopper. I don’t mind yard sales and hand me down but let’s face it with six people to buy for money can get extremely tight. Plus we have always been the type to lend a helping hand, for instance some goods friends of ours were in a bad situation and needed a place to stay so we let them move in for a while. Now we have 9 people living here, and Kristina and her son come over all the time because we love hanging out together and we have a blast however that makes 11. THEN to top it off our friends who are staying with us are babysitting 2 little girls on a daily basis for about 8 hours. This means that on any given day we are making and preparing food for 13 people. We are used to barbecues, family get together and birthday parties where we cook for lots of people but not on a daily basis. This means that by the end of the day I tend to get a little stressed out. Most of the time I can handle it all pretty well and laid back about it but there are some days when I come home and I want to hide in my room all alone and just have 3 minutes of ALONE TIME. Anyway with all of my craziness lately I have really noticed a difference in my life, body, and mind. I don’t feel like I have time to focus on what matters not that I can sort through everything to know what really matters. I am constantly late to work and I am afraid I will get fired which will not help the situation. I have gained weight and I am constantly tired. I am confused with what to do. I think a lot about my sacred place but I can’t always find my sacred place. I admire all these women that I have been reading their post and their sacred places and I envy them for that. Tomorrow is craft day with the kids and more working on the website to get it up by September 1st. I am looking forward to that. I hope you all have a fabulous night.
Lots of love! *Amanda* Don’t forget to come back often as we are updating with all new fabulous thing that you don’t want to miss.
