Tired...
tired of life being this way
tired of feeling like I want to scream all the time
tired of crying
tired of whining
tired of complaining
tired of raising my kids all alone

God right now my cup is empty
I need some strength to continue on
I am confused and angry
Be the lifter of my head
Give me hope and purpose
I just feel I can't go on with it being this way anymore

    I will pray for you too...there were a couple years were I "single parented" also...Tim was going to school over an hour away and working two jobs all at the same time. I would only know he was home in the middle of the night for a few hours because his side of the bed was messed up.
    It was horribly difficult. I will be praying for you tons...that the Lord gives you strength and encouragement!
    Thanks for sharing your struggle so that we can all pray!

    Although I don't have as many kids as you I totally understand about being a single parent at home right now. Justin is gone with the business so much I am often exhausted and lonely from his absence. I will be thinking and praying for you and your family right now when times are tough. :)

    I'm so sorry you're struggling now. Get out that verse that Roberta gave us and start begging God for some of that rest!!!

    Oh, Amber, I am sorry this is such a difficult time. I am praying that the Lord would give you a strength, rest, hope, and peace. May He remind you of His tremendous love for you and His purpose for your life as you are His precious daughter.

    Isaiah 40
    28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
    The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
    He does not faint or grow weary;
    his understanding is unsearchable.
    29 He gives power to the faint,
    and to him who has no might he increases strength.
    30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
    and young men shall fall exhausted;
    31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
    they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
