Oh Ellyn! How I relate on soooo many levels. Especially "If I hang out with the kids and bake a frozen pizza for dinner I'm
sacrificing their nutrition. If I leave them to their own devices while I
clean the apartment I feel like I'm neglecting them. If I spend all my
time after the kids are in bed at night on homework for school, then I'm
not spending any time with John. If I lay on the couch and watch Bones
with John all evening I'm neglecting my studies. Most days, I feel like I
am barely maintaining; spending a little time with the kids, a little
time on the house, a little time on John, and a little time on homework.
And a little isn't enough to go around for any of those things. "

I SO hear you. I do daycare to be home when my kids are home. Then when they get home from school, I am SHOT and impatient with them. I edit client photos and they say I am on the computer too much. Everything I do it for them, yet they don't always feel that and that breaks my heart. Somewhere I throw a husband and a home in the mix. ;) I actually stopped blogging too b/c it's become one more thing to do on my list. It's not enjoyable and the outlet it used to be. {and frankly the majority of the people who read it are facebook friends and now what I am posting anyways.} I think between facebook and twitter etc blogs are mellowing down anyways ;)

I wish you all the best. {and I am glad we are fb friends so I can still keep up with your triumphs and stuggles. } HUGS!!!

Hey! Glad to hear you are still around and doing good! I've been really busy too the last few months and haven't had much of a chance to read blogs. I went to click on your blog link and it wouldn't work and I thought something happened!! So happy to hear you are just busy with a few computer glitches. I can't tell you how happy I was to see that John came out to see you guys! I love the picture of all of you although had wished it had Coen in too. I probably looked 4 times before realizing he was in it!!!! :)

Our family sponsors a 8 year old little girl, Niwta from India. Angie's {Bring the Rain} trip to India a year ago is why we decided to sponsor.

Great post! I love the simplicity of the picture. It makes yours words so powerful. I would like to say I am always 1/2 glass full however there are times I am not.

God wants to make my cup overflow if I’ll let Him! {Love it!!!}

As I sit at my laptop eating ice cream out of the container, I stare at the pile of kids books all over my living room floor. I'd take my container of ice cream to the couch so I could watch my DVR'ed Biggest Loser but you see I'd have to step over the books. The books I threw on the floor when {I} was having a fit because my 6 year old daughter knocked them all over the floor and didn't pick them up yet again.

After I was done with my tantum, I ask her why on earth she couldn't be bothered to pick them up, to which she softly replies, "I was just so excited to read with you, I just didn't want to waste any of our time."

Hence the ice cream at 10:30pm, after exercising 8 miles today.

The point is I read blog after blog of "perfect lives." Blogs with perfect children, perfect moms. And we all know that is a crock. Everyone struggles at times.

Thank you for sharing your heart. Thanks for being real. Thanks for sharing with us your joy and your pain. Thanks.

Praying tomorrow will be a better day.

Makes me long to lay in a hammock :)

It's funny, through these b/w's I'm trying to shoot less people and more surroundings. :) It's great to be challenged to step out of our comfort zones. And trying to get a photo of a teenage boy is definetly challenging ;) Greatjob!

Gosh.

Oh El, Just when I think I can't possibly love ya anymore, you post this. I love your honestly and willingness to show who you really are.

Times of trial is when God shapes you into who He wants you to be. If you don't take credit for being strong at least take credit for being willing to be molded.

My favorite part is that you called your friends. That is true strength. Knowing when you need help. So maybe you aren't choosing to be strong, but by the Grace of God you are.

Great pictures! The light through the tin roof is amazing..

My favorite is of the man smiling. I'm embarrassed to say I'm certain I wouldn't be smiling if that were my house. How much we can learn from them!!

My 4 in April daughter still naps a few times a week. My older daughter gave them up around ago 4 too. We do however have late bedtimes.

I have a friend who had to wean her daughter off of afternoon naps so she could go to Kindergarden. Can you imagine every afternoon free for 5 years?
Plus her kids sleep 3-4hour at a time.

Seriously? How is that fair? :)
