I always love Sundays. It seems like life is crazy and I can't catch a breath all week long, and then it's Sunday. I love that it's a day Danny is home, and we have nothing else to do but spend time together.
Today was one fun Sunday. Lily and Macy have designed their own "podium" where they get up and bear their testimonies and give talks. It is sooo cute! After a few times of watching his sister's do this, Merrick decided to get up and bear his testimony. Then he gives Lily kisses and runs from her laughing so cute. Check out this video clip if you want to hear what he has to say.
So I am no longer working from home doing office work for the pest control company. It has only been a week since I've been done and I just have to say, it's been heaven! I wake up in the morning and only have to think about my 3 kids, what they need, and what needs to be done in the house. No more phones ringing all day long, and feeling like I'm going to have a nervous break down!
So~ I have made some new goals and have a whole new outlook on being a "stay at home" mom. I want to cherish every moment with them and never want them to feel like a burden. They are my main focus. They are MY LIFE. So we may not have extra money anymore... but we will make it through. We always have! Somehow, even when the numbers don't add up, Heavenly Father has always made up the difference when it seems like it won't work. I have testimony of this. It is comforting to know that he has promised certain blessings when you obey certain commandments.
Of course I am still running La Bebe Boutique and Macymae Clippies and loving it! This is something I can do on my own time, when my kids are sleeping, or when Danny is home. I also have had to face the fact that I may not have a huge business at this point in my life. Being a mom of 3 little ones, with a husband who works very long hours... it's almost impossible! Again, I am ok with this. I love what I do and that is why I started it. So I will continue to enjoy having a baby boutique, designing Macymae Clippies, and letting it be what it is.
I am grateful for many things in my life. Today I feel especially grateful for some very good friends I have in my ward. They are such a great example to me. I learn so much from each of them and admire each of them for their own individual strengths. I have never had a group of friends that I can laugh and cry with in the same conversation. We have a blast together and I even have many times I feel the spirit during our discussions. They truly lift me up and make me want to be a better person. Thank you girlies!
