I have not been feeling very motivated as of late.. I know it has a lot to do with kids going to this and that, and doing this and that. Seems are schedules got busier as school got out. Now they will be going back to school soon and I'm not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Soon I will be babysitting again, getting kids ready for school again, helping with homework again, But now I will even be homeschooling my Middle one. So not sure when it will be calm again for anyone in my house.. somewhere I guess I thought I would have more time for me this summer.. I was wrong. BUT... on that downer of a note.. I can't be unhappy at all. I spent time with friends. I got to know new people in our community. I got to learn more about myself and my boys. I got to help out people and make them smile. I got to show that I'm not just some old fat lady! I am not lazy. I love to work and I got to show that to people this year.. (yes I have gotten over the being fat thing.. but I am really embracing it too!) ANYWAY! It was a beautiful year.. Thanks be to God for giving us so many Blessings to share with each other and with Others.
NOW from one crazy world to the next.. a MUCH BIGGER WORLD... what is happening with Israel right now.. This makes me sad in so many ways... first.. This is Gods' CHOSEN people.. he cared from them from the beginning.. He helped them out of slavery.. he took care of them thru the deserts and they walked for 40 years.. when they finally got to their home.. God still took care of them.. even tho they may not have deserved it.. He LOVED them that much he took care of them.. and then some more.. He watched over them so that people wouldn't try eradicate his chosen people.. he didn't want influence from all the other bad worshiping and sinful things.. Which brings me to my point... GOD saw them thru everything... He will see them thru this.. Obama supporting the Bad Guys? Seriously? :( I was told he was Catholic or something a few years back.. but I bet the POPE would be IMMENSELY Upset about this whole thing.. Now... I dont want to get into politics.. I am not an Obama fan from the day he was voted in and I will just leave it at that..
My Next point is this.. I am upset.. and I think it has effected me, my motivation, and my heart... Well Lets just say I'm overwhelmed a bit.. First of all.. I keep seeing the news.. and the O.. guy i wont say his name anymore.. the Israel thing.. and then my kids... house cleaning.. New Puppies(kinda makes me happy but a lot of work too), My fish tank needs to be cleaned, My laundry is always needed done.. and mostly... the News thing.. Kinda gets ya down.. Even when you know that God has a plan and he will see us thru anything.. Even when you Believe and Trust that GOD will always be by our side.. the sadness in the News gets me down. I worry for my kids and for their futures. I worry for my grand-babies that I don't even have yet! I just worry that something big is going to happen... And it may effect our younger generations.. I Just worry.. that's what I do :) if I didn't worry.... My kids would prolly have their pants hanging to there knees and flashing gang signs :) Anyway.. I have said it before and I'll say it again.. I long for the Days of Little House on the Praire.. When you could get an actual education without having to meet a standard. When you didn't have the Government breathing down your neck. When a newspaper brought you all the news you needed to know. When you didn't go to jail for your kid getting a sunburn or because you let your kid walk to the park. When people could stand up for their families using a gun if someone was going to cause you harm or try and get in your house. Where people worked a hard days work. Where you took care of your family till they day they passed away. Where books were a rare commodity and going to school was a privilege not a demand. Where the US took care of itself and not the concern of the world. I think with the internet age we just have soOOO Much more information on everything that we feel like we have to take a side to everything... we should have 2 things.. get along with everyone.. and Always stand with Israel. :) End of story.
Last point I Promise... the Internet.. Yes that pesky ol' thing.. We do not allow our kids (13,10,9) to use the internet unless I give the OK... (middle one uses ONLY for home-school purposes) They get a treat when they go to Grandma and Grandpa Stormo's and they get to play on Grandpa's or Jake's computer. other than that.. Nope... I don't want them to know the news of the bad bad world... I don't want them to have to worry about Healthcare issues or who is spying on who or what nation is warring another nation. Or how bad Terrorist Groups are to others.. that is all VERY GRAPHIC! and I Just seen Decapitations on Facebook! HONESTLY! I will be having them blog when they have time.. I WILL be having them post on facebook.. but ONLY to show that they updated their blog to friends and family. that will be the extent of that. I love my kids dearly and I can not keep them from the world.. but.. I can protect them.. and let them know that the first thing they see in the world is HOPE.. and an AMAZING world.. I wont shelter them.. I haven't sheltered them.. I only let them see the parts they WANT to see first.. they don't need to have their childhood taken away from them worrying about Where are they going to get a job? Will that nation come blow us up? so and so forth.. I want them to be excited about the world.. not scared of it! The Internet... gah... things were so much simpler before we used it.. we used to play super Nintendo! Mario Brothers! and climb trees.. and Imaginations! Forts using Dad's tools that he didn't want you to play with... LOL but you snuck them out anyway. *SIGH* I know this was long im sorry.. its 11:00 at night and I'm tired and Ranty :)
I do bid you farewell for the night :)
HUGS AND LOVE :)
