I am excitedly working on publishing my new journal/scrapbook while keeping up with my household and homeschooling responsibilities and it is not easy. I love that God is giving me wonderful ideas and even sending me the resources to complete this project. I also pray that He will bless me with balance as I attend to my most important jobs of serving Him and serving my family.

Alyssa and Chase get more adorable every day. I am so blessed to have them. They also keep me challenged. I was cross this morning and Chase noticed. After reassuring him that my mood had nothing to do with him ( I was pretty tired as Alyssa woke up several times probably because of the sound of the rain on the roof and then she woke up for good at 6am), he suggested that I pray to God to help me. So I did, right there and then, ask God to please fix my attitude, take away my anger and irritability and help me to get enough sleep tonight.

We ended our day in laughter playing silly games like patty cake and "So Big" so God was once again faithful  in answering my prayer. Oh, to serve such a compassionate and merciful God! How grateful I am that His mercies are new everyday.

How do some of you wonderful moms out there deal with a bad day and a cranky attitude?
