Do you ever look at other people and just wonder how they do it?

Why their life looks so easy?

I have a lot things on my mind... My husband started a new job and has been training for the last month or so. It is great that he has a job, but it is a commission based job. So we have yet to make any money. His job also take him out of town, which has been really hard on me.

It doesn't help that I have had a sore throat for the last couple days and now I have no voice.

Since money is so tight, I find myself at home, alot. It can get very depressing, thinking about all the fun things everyone else is doing. Plus I miss my friends, I feel like I live in another state. I know you aren't supposed to compare yourself to other people, but right now I am. And I know I am not the only one struggling. One thing that someone said is conference was to lose yourself in service. So I am definitely going to work on that. I have noticed if I keep myself busy, I don't get so caught up in things. Also, to learn the lesson while you are going through the struggle instead of figuring it out afterwards.

Anyway...ugh. This is why I don't blog. Or if I do it is about something that has nothing to do with me.

One thing though, I have the greatest kids....

Samantha is so willing to help and so thoughtful. I love that she still gives me a hug and a kiss before she leaves or goes to bed. I hope that never goes away.

Cooper is actually coming into his own. He has an opinion about his hair. He wants it like Justin Beiber. He is kind and is working so hard in school.

And Caleb is starting to the say the funniest things. Today while I was getting him out of his car seat, he said "this is a nightmare". I think he is spending too much time with me. Oh and this morning he was watching a movie and they said darn it. So Caleb comes up to me and say "mom they say darn it just like me".

As long as my kids are ok, I guess I have nothing to complain about :)

as you know we are in the same boat. I know for me every day is a struggle, I have to make a choice everyday to try and find the good in things for me kids and both Jeff and I, and it is hard. Right now I am having to re-evaluate what else needs to change, or what I need to change to see if I can make things better, it I can great, if I can't well, then at least I tried right? Anyways, I just know how hard it is right now. And I love what you had to say about the kids! Thay are so cute and growing up way to fast!
