What a title eh?!

So when I realized that there is an android app for blogger, I thought...I can finally do it! I can keep up on a blog like the ones I follow and envy all the time.
Yeah! Its my turn:)
But that's not why I named my blog what I did...As I pondered a name this popped into my head as the single most discussed topic throughout my day therefore hopefully reminding me to post. Silly yes but true! Whose turn to brush teeth first, whose turn to sit by
Calvin in the car, whose turn to play the DSI, pick the restaurant, feed the dogs, and the list goes on! But I love every minute of it!




5 1/2 years ago, at the age of 20, I brought a new baby home. To a tiny little home where a 19 month old already occupied most of my time. Between Damen's demands and my new college career, I found myself wondering... How? But every time Damen's sweet little voice said "bror" and his face lit up as he gave Athan the tiniest kisses, I knew somehow, it was possible. And it was.





I have since realized that conquering that first feat has given me too much confidence! I am constantly over doing things. Have you ever had to carry loads of wood? You know when you are loading up your bundle and you tell the person loading it on "one more piece, and one more" that's me... in life. Always trying to carry as much as possible. However, if you share this wood carrying experience with me perhaps you ran into the situation where all the wood was dropped because, you took on too much. Yeah,, that's me with life too. I don't stop though, I continue to take my load to the max, with a smile on my face. I don't think it is a bad quality of mine. I guess if I ever find out, it will be the hard way.



Today was the ending of my experience for at home learning with the boys. Damen in 2nd grade and Athan in Kindergarten, I was spending 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, on average teaching the boys through an online program. I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience! But... my load was WAY too heavy! With Calvin getting more and more busy and working night shift full time, I absolutely had to let one full time job go. And sadly, the full time teaching gig was the most reasonable to give to someone else. But the good news is, I don't have to have an anxiety attack everyday because I don't have to take the boys to the over crowded Payson school. They get to go to good ol' Pine school and they are so excited!
