So, I LUV me some Beth Moore and am currently going through Esther. It's Tough To Be a Woman. And I love her blog. She and her girls, Amanda and Melissa always provide such comfort, wisdom and a giggle too.
So I was so pumped to see a new post. It was from Curtis, Amanda's husband ( I think) (pretty sure)
Anyway, It is TOOOO funny! I ordered the set for Trey for his birthday. SHHH don't tell. Luckily, he is swamped with work right now, so I am sure he won't be checking my blog for may latest ramblings.

Whew!!
Is anyone else exhausted from the holidays??
Well, we had 3 car repairs, 2 days of being stranded, 3 straight weeks of holiday guests, 3 Christmas celebrations, 2 trips to the Dr, 1 New Years Eve, 1 trip back home for 1 funeral of a dear friend's dad, many deaths from other acquaintances, and many laughs and tears.
And I am done!
I just got back in town on Sunday and I am ready for a break....
It has been exhausting physically and emotionally.
Trey and I had been going through kind of weird time and finally "hashed it" (putting that nicely) ALL out. Through a few weeks of words, i have realized I sort of lost myself. And Trey realized he was missing me. Somewhere in the past 10 and a half years, I lost ME. I swore I would never let that happen, but it did. I became Trey's wife and Logan, Caden, Kannan and Ryan's mom. It was a slow disintegration of myself. I do not mind being all of things, in fact, I love those things. I just forgot to put my name somewhere on that list. I am not sure the day, the time of it, but it happened.
So, I have now added it back on. At least I am trying too. I had really always thought of myself as selfish and Trey pointed out that I never do anything for me. I forget to take care of myself. HMMM. Really?
Well, I guess since all my pjs are still maternity pants and tshirts, I only get 2 haircuts a year, Trey's wardrobe is bigger than mine, and I had only 4 pairs of shoes(two of that being tennis shoes), then yes. That would be correct. Guess, I have to wake up and look in the mirror a little more. It was also nice to know that my husband still sees me as the girl he married. ( I weighed much less then!) He loves me then , he loves me now. Good thing! Since I forgot to keep loving me and seemed to just give it all away. Gotta learn that balance!
God's timing is really comical and graceful and perfect. I giggled inside when I saw the bible study that starts this Sunday. "Esther. It's Tough to be a Woman" by Beth Moore. Can't you see Him wink?
Sigh.
I am really excited!!!!
So, a couple prayer requests too:
1. Help me find my confidence and a healthy sense of independence, without becoming selfish and neglectful of things around me. A godly self image not prideful. ( I always seem to think of the flip side of things too much...i know)
2. A prayer for my kids and family. Caden is really struggling with the move. He is sad and it breaks my heart. Kannan is struggling too. It's a transition. It takes time. I know, but it's my babies...and they are hurting right now.
Thanks!
