Blocker Boys On the Go!

     On October 6th I had the pleasure to sit in on a tele-conference with Mama Fusion.  Below you will find my overview of the call,and my interpretation of Emily's plan.

     Do you feel lost in motherhood? Does it feel like society is pushing you to be June Cleaver?  Come see how one mom over came the pressure, and wants to help you break out.

     After the birth of her second daughter Emily felt lost.  She was unhappy, and generally felt that she was being a bad parent.  Her brain was telling her to do better at things like cooking gourmet meals, and having a pristine house.  Her heart's desire was buried under it all.

     She found she had been crushed under society's perfect picture of being a mother.  When she found the courage to step out, and be the mom she wanted to be life was better for the entire family. The relationship with her husband, and her kids improved.

     Before she found her focus she just stumbled through her everyday motions to try and fit society's picture.  Now she is spending more quality time with her kids and husband.  She had spent a large "quantity" of time with her family before, but the quality of that time was poor.  She spent it trying to decide what was the next step to fill the mold she thought she needed to fill.

     God made Emily to be a spunky free spirit.  What was God's design for you?  Sit back for a minute and think about all the things you like to do.  Does the world's perfect mold of parenting keep you from being the person inside that you miss and love?

     Is your inner self caked with the dirt of society's ideals?  Join Emily at Mama Fusion for Finding the Focus.  She will show you how to break free of the dirt and grime that society has thrown at you over the years.  Don't be what people have told you that you should or can be! Be the unique person that God designed you to be.

     Well turns out I was exhausted when I got up today.  So much so that dealing with K was not on  the list.  So I got up gave him a bottle and tried to play with him.  No luck so I put him back in his crib to play, and crawled back in bed for a little bit.  He dealt with that for about 30 minutes.  So I got up we went downstairs for some baby mush, and then he toddled about in his walker for a little while. 
     Then we got hubby off to work and K down for his regularly scheduled nap.  I do a little straightening up in the kitchen.  Now I intend to lay down for a little nap myself.  No luck as soon as I get comfy and lay down.  Guess who gets up!! So i get the wee one a bottle, and procede to entertain him.  Then the best thing happens.  Hubby gets home from work!!! (throw little happy party)  Thank goodness the work days on Saturday are short.  So hubby and K go down stairs to hang out.  You know what that crazy kid stayed up 30 min ate a bottle, and took a nap for his daddy!!!
     So after about a 2 hour nap I am feeling much better.  Not on top of the world mind you, but better.  Sure enough I am up 20 minutes, and baby gets up.  Anyway my patience for the little guy was pretty much zilch all day long.  We made it through the day, and no one got hurt.  I do plan on leaving the guys alone tomorrow for a little just mommy time.  Also working on a mommy and daddy night out!!!  Hoorray for church nursery in the morning.  No little guy for an hour!!  Some times I feel bad when I get so excited to leave him, but hey mom's need a break too!!
     Still working on getting everything together for the cooking, recipe blog.  I decided on a name "Kitchen Mixing"  very fitting I think.  Now off for a little relaxation and reading!!
