'Can we play Dear God?'

Almost every meal time Cookie asks, 'can we play 'Dear God'?' This is our prompt for grace. A time to say thank you for the innumerable blessings in our lives. If nothing less than to humble oursevles to the reaslisation that sitting around a table, in a house, eating a meal is a gift. Often Xss or I will choose a moment in the day we enjoyed to thank God for, the kids will choose the meal or something special that they got. Starbucks has progressed in her social development to a stage where she gives me attitude about anything i challenge her on. She knows it winds me up, and it does. I try not to, but on occasion i go from calm to SWEATY STRESSY GESTICULATOR in split second.

This evening Stabucks' answer to what are you thankful for was, 'I am thankful that i still love mummy even though she shouts at me and hurts me'. I've never hurt her, but i wanted to hurt her then. haha.

Week One:

I am such a sucker for believing the photos on Instagram, and the posts of facebook. They make me feel like i am missing out, doing something different and wrong in my life, and ultimaltly push me to feel unsatisfied. I've tried to remedy this by unfollowing people who's posts make me feel this way (its irrelivant if they have some sort of agenda or not) and i've put my phone on silent so i am much less aware of the world around me. (Ok so some people cant be unreachable by phone so i chose the do not disturb setting and only allow the contacts that i feel are worthy enough to be able to wake me up from a nap- thats the criteria). Anywho, i have made a commitment to myself to take a REAL photo of my kids each day of the summer holidays. Because its the real times that bring me comfort and happiness. A day out in legoland is great (well im conditioned to think so), but the bread and butter of my memories of three young children will be much more....... A4. Lets see.
