Sometimes it's a lonely road

I am really grateful to stay home with my children, I wouldn't miss their babyhoods for the world.  But some days it is so lonely.  Matt has been gone for three days (things are going well for him at work--woo-hoo!), both kids have colds coupled with asthma issues that wake them in the night, daylight savings just ended and Beck isn't into it, Beck is dropping his morning nap, and I am also sick.  I am so edgey with worry and exhaustion, but I know that this too shall pass.  Today's "Daily Gem" email was about passing through trials without complaint and using prayer and service of others in order to endure.  This was clearly directed at me!   

Why should being a stay-at-home mom be a lonely road?  There's not really a good answer.  I mean, there are other stay-at-home moms around, and we've got all the time in the world, right?  Well, not really--everyone around here is super busy and scheduled, and sometimes I forget to just BE and not to worry about playgroups, meals, etc.

Ramsey and Beck are both coughing a bit this week, and it really concerns me.  However, we have an appointment with the asthma specialist on Monday, so hopefully we can figure some things out while we are there.  I hope this post isn't too negative, I just thought I'd share some hard things along with the good to give my blogging some balance.  I know we will all be okay.  The show must go on! 

Here's a cute pic at least.....
