A Friday Favorite

If your week was anything like mine,  there were days you were over it.  Over the dishes and the laundry and the sticky floors and the neverending requests.  Hopefully you came to MOPS today and got a little refreshed and were reminded that you are never alone on this motherhood quest.

Many of you know that we recently found out we are expecting again and that I have had a hard time adjusting to the idea that I have to do the pregnancy thing again (welcome back all day nausea) and that when I'm finally finished, I'll have four little people who depend on me for everything.  Yikes.

So this blog I'm linking us to is for me.  And for you.  For the times you're done.  And for all the times you keep on going.

Happy Friday!  Do something fun this weekend.  Practice the Husband Project.  Refuse to fold the clothes.  Eat whatever you want.  I ate cream cheese icing out of the container a little while ago.  And read this.

Love to you all.

How's Your MomSense?

I don't know about you, but my "momsense" was on the fritz today.  My one year old thinks she's too big for her booster, my six year old won't even entertain the idea of switching schools, and my five year old would make James Dobson cry.  

Sound familiar?  

If so, maybe you need what I've found.  A group of moms in my community who get it.  Who've been there. Who are still wading through laundry and sippy cups and terrible twos that linger until elementary school.  

That's MOPS.  Mothers of Preschoolers.  Which just means most of us are still changing diapers on our way out the door to the Little League game.  Some of us are new to motherhood, others are brave enough to admit that even after ten years they don't have it figured out.  Some of us work from home or outside it.  For some of us, home is all the work we can handle.  

We're real.  Real moms with real kids and really messy houses.  Real moms with real kids who cause us real problems.  Real moms who come together to make sense of all this MomSense so we have the energy to play another round.

If MOPS sounds like it's for you, or even if it doesn't, I encourage you to play the game of Chance and give us a turn.  We're registering old members and new for fall semester 2011 and we'd love to have you on our team.  Join us for one of the following dates and we'll help you play the hand God's dealt you.
