Felt like a kid again... Not!

Yesterday evening my oldest son had a music program at school. So, of course, we went. I'm one of those moms that likes to look nice for stuff at my child's school. So I dressed nice. I wore a pair of my favorite dressy pants and wedge heels. Heels that I've worn multiple times and are very comfortable and have never had any issues with.
The school has gravel in it's planter beds instead of mulch, which is pretty silly considering it's an elementary school.
As we were walking in, I was carrying my 2 year old, and I apparently stepped on a rock and completely lost my balance! I went down hard! Luckily I was able to lift my little one up high enough that when I landed on the sidewalk he simply sat down unharmed. I, however, skinned one knee, cut the other one, and bruised my ankle. And sadly ruined my awesome pants.
How embarrassing right?? Lol
(Just wait there's more! That sounded like an infomercial LOL)
We sat down for the performance and I checked my knees and they were both bloody. So I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. Then someone behind me asked if I was ok because she just happened to see what happened and had to tell the other people around her.

Tangent: When I was a kid parents and friends were quiet during performances. They gave the children respect and attention. That hasn't been my experience thus far and it infuriates me! How can we expect our children to be respectful to others when the parents aren't!? It's so tempting to go up on stage and give the adults a piece of my mind. So far though I've managed to keep my butt in my chair, but I end up irritated instead of enjoying the show.

Back to my story: We were leaving and I was again carrying my little guy. And guess what.... Yup. It happened again! Luckily this time I caught myself. But I handed my son off to my husband so I wouldn't be holding him anymore. (He can walk but there were tons of people as he loves to run.)

As we continued to walk to my son's classroom to get him, I walked across the courtyard area and slipped again! This time it was on a tree root that was covered by leaves.

My hubby told me to take off my shoes and walk barefoot. Haha

I expected to be black and blue with bruises because I bruise really easily on my legs, but so far I haven't. I'm not as sore as I expected to be either, but can definitely feel that I'm not a kid anymore. Lol The impact of the first fall made my low back and hips very sore.

I got my son today from school and I saw a few of the people that saw me fall last night, but they didn't recognize me. Lol I guess I look a lot different when I'm not dressed up lol!

Getting older stinks.. And I'm only a month away from 30! Haha!

Good night all.. And don't forget to watch where you're walking! LOL!

I won yesterday.

Yesterday morning I planned to clean the house and get stuff organized because I had people coming over yesterday evening. As soon as I started to get things ready to clean my 2 year old started throwing a fit. Normally I get really irritated and just tell him to knock it off and keep doing what I had planned. But yesterday I didn't. I didn't get mad. I didn't yell. I didn't do what I would normally do. Yesterday I put on one of his favorite movies, sat down, and rocked him. He ended up going to sleep. Then while I was doing dishes he woke up very upset. Again, normally I would be really annoyed, but I sat with him and he calmed down. We sat in the chair together for a while and then he was up and ready to play. But I won yesterday. I won against my anger. I won against the way I usually react. These moments with my children are ones I will never get back. I really need to focus on that instead of the irritants that present themselves. It may be only on

Depression + Guilt

Can I just say.. Again.. Depression SUCKS! There doesn't have to be a reason why I feel like I'm worthless.. I just do. I'm also a Christian. I try to read my Bible. I pray often. I go to church on Sunday. And I really try to be a good Christ follower. But being a Christ follower and battling depression day in and day out is hard. Because I know in my heart that I'm so very valuable because God created me and loves me unconditionally. But my head just doesn't hold on to that all the time. And then I feel guilty because I don't have that joy and happiness the Bible speaks of. I feel guilty because I'm not the person I'd like to be. I'm not the great Christian woman (parent especially) that I long to be. And that guilt can be so very overwhelming. I constantly feel like I'm failing at everything. Recently, during a discussion with someone I brought up something that is in the Bible. The person asked me to stop bringing up the Bible becaus

First Blog!

Good morning all! I'm very excited to begin this new journey of blogging!  God has called me to share my life with others so He may be glorified and people may be helped through their struggles.  We weren't created to go through life alone. And thankfully we aren't alone! Many times in life we feel like we have no where to turn and no one we can count on. (That includes me) But through fellowship and leaning on God's loving arms, we can make it through this life. Together. So, here is a small introduction to me: I am a wife, to a wonderful husband. I am a mother to two awesome little boys and a beautiful step-daughter. I grew up as a preacher's kid along with my 2 sisters and 1 brother. I've had to fight for my relationship with God, and find Him on my own. I am a survivor of abuse (NOT by my husband). I am a mother of multiple children I never got to see or hold (miscarriages). I have fought with depression and anger since I was a kid and continue
