Blingin' and Countin'

This is my first post using blogger mobile. I just found out today that I can blog via MMS, SMS or email and I'm so excited! Yay!! /\--0 (that's me dancing, doing the "komole")

I love love love the idea that I can blog the many random thoughts in my head on the spur of the moment. Move over, side chick (Twitter), I'm back with my true love (Blogger) ;) 

I made this dress last week, but I wasn't satisfied cos I thought it needed a little "oomph", so last night, I blinged it up and I love it now. I hope my client likes it too. I'll show you the dress after she comes to pick it up if she let's me.

The munchkins kept hovering, wanting to play with the beads and stones and I kept chasing them away. "Arrrggghh! Go watch TV!! I'm busy!!" Stamping his feet, Nathan cried, "I'm not mummy's friend because she won't let me play". One look at his sulking face sent me on the " is-work-more-important-than-your-children?" guilt trip and in no time, we were learning our shapes and counting :)
A lot of the time, it's exasperating. I've had to get out of bed three times in the past 20 or so minutes to put Alexis back in her bed, for example. I'm nothing like the mums on TV who have it all together. I struggle, trying to keep up with all three of them without dropping the ball in other areas of my life. I don't know how I'll cope when I start school this Fall. I'll probably have to stop sewing...

In all of this, I can still find lots to be thankful for. I see God's hands steering the course of my life and even though I don't understand all of it, I'm one very grateful girl :) I faved this tweet by Rick Warren tonight.                                                                
@RickWarren: TRUST is allowing God to interrupt your schedule without you complaining. 
 Is your schedule being interrupted? How are you staying thankful? Please share. You could be helping someone :)

  1. Awwww... sweet darlyns, give them all jumping hi5s for stressing you out for me :p

    Even when it seems like there is no reason to be thankful or reading the book of psalms or reminding myself of all the things i've been blessed with don't seem to work then i turn to music and it ALWAYS works.

    The beauty of gospel music like every genre of music is that no 2 songs are the same so if Cece Winans has me rolling my eyes then be rest assured that my #DearFutureHusband Mali Music will get me smiling and Kirk Franklin will have me breaking a sweat and acting a fool and then Casting Crowns will have me praising God through the storm.

    God interrupts my schedule on a daily but he also gives me a reason to smile everyday so i can't complain to hard and if e pain me pass na music straight, no long tin! :*

    1. Hahaha... That right there is my mumu button... Perhaps I should come and take lessons from you.

      Honestly, it's not like it's that hard. Their smiles more than make up for the stressful times.
      Thanks dear.
