Well hmmm...

Yeah, so I have been reading this book about being a better wife and mom and I guess I have come to some new conclusions. One of the things that reading this book has challenged me on is how good of a "keeper of the home" am I? She talks about how in order to be a keeper of the home as the Word of God says, then I need to be in my home more, not just physically, but mentally as well. So often throughout the day I "escape" through my cell phone into another place and allow my kids to turn into monkeys. Or there are the few minutes here or there that I steal to see who's out on facebook. But probably what gets me the most are the times I sit jumping from blog to blog when I could be sitting with my boys playing or reading to them. I only have this time with them at this age once. There are so many days I wish it away, wishing I had more time to do what I wanted. Those days will come. For now, I am choosing to sign off. To put my blog to rest (as if it were ever very active) :o) and to dive into life here in my own home with my own children. I have enjoyed reading what is going on in your homes, yet it keeps me from living life to the fullest here in mine. So, until another time...
