5 Minute Friday {Awake}

Remember When…. {5 Minute Friday}

Remembering is different for all of us.  We all have different paths, different pasts, and different places we’ve all been. Remembering for me is thinking of when I was naive to think that marriage was just loving one another, when having babies was easy and creating a happy home was going to be fun.  …

Beyond my Fear, Into His Arms.

Today was a rough day for me as a mom.  My autistic son was having problems at school today and We have to have a conference tomorrow.  Yippee!  (If you have a Special Needs child you know how dreadful these meetings are) I was even holding back tears on the phone talking to the teacher….

Growing {5 Minute Friday}

What do you think of when you hear the word GROW? I think of how I wish the plants and flowers outside could grow if we only got rain….. I think of my continuous growth of my relationship with Christ. I think of my love for my Husband and how our marriage only continues to…

Give Me Rest. {5 Minute Friday}

Rest, it’s not for whimps.  It’s for champions.  It’s for the husband with 2 or 3 jobs….or works so long and hard he can’t stay awake driving.  It’s for the mother that has so much on her mind she can’t sleep and during the day is consumed with her life.  With her duties, with all…

I wonder…about the future.

I wonder…..what the future holds for my children. I wonder if they’ll remember my bad days when I yelled and screamed at them. I wonder if they’ll remember the days of mommy falling to the floor in tears. I wonder if they’ll remember the fighting or the times daddy was gone or when mommy &…

Living the Crazy- 5 minute Friday

GO: My home is not exactly normal.  Ok, what IS normal exactly anyway?  We are a house of crazy.  Not only do I have 2 boys who are autistic, have sensory disorder and adhd; my daughter is gifted and is extremely needy for attention and activities.  My husband is very laid back and I USED…

5 Minute Friday- (Backwards)

5 Minutes of writing, unscripted…just me.  Let’s see what happens. Backwards Go: Lately I’ve been noticing that my daughter always asks me if I’m working on my phone, or when I can stop working on the computer.  It seems as though since I’ve turned blogging into my quote “job”, that it takes more of my…
