Menu Monday

Maybe if I post what our dinners for the week will be it will motivate/shame me into making sure to actually cook?
See on Saturday we ordered a pizza.
We always have to give bizarre "instructions to driver" on the online form because our street is somehow not acknowledged by The Google.Pizza guy shows up.

I said, "Oh good, you found us!"
He was like "Oh I always know where you guys are."
As if this is a frequent thing.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You don't know.

Anyway.  I've been shamed into trying to cook more at home. Here's what's coming up this week:

Monday- Baked Beans, ham, cornbread
Tuesday- Spaghetti, salad
Wednesday- Fish (my husband will cook it. I don't know his secret technique. Nor do I learn to care. If it's a secret then only HE can be the one to cook. *wink*). Coleslaw, veggies and hummus
Thursday- Chili, biscuits
Friday- Chinese Buffet (yeah, we're eating out. But at least it isn't PizzaDeliveryDudeWhoRecognizesUs)

Saturday- lunch: Soup & PB sandwiches
                dinner: Vegetarian Taco Salad

To wrap up this post I present you with a picture of a dog delivering pizza:

Have a great weekend!

Weary Mothers

Ever have something smack you upside the head?  A real light bulb moment?  That was me recently.

This Bible verse has been a favorite for a long time:

source

I've always applied to to other things in the Christian life such as serving others, serving within church, doing what's right when no one else is, following God's standards.

Then came a light bulb moment.

This can apply to motherhood too.

One friend of mine has a son with limited immunity.

One friend's daughter was born with Trisomy 18.

One friend's son has ADHD.

One friend's daughter has SPD.

One friend has a child with learning disabilities.

One friend has quadruplets.

One friend has twins.

One friend's son has autism.

Several friends are single moms.

Several friends struggle with depression, anxiety, or other chronic illnesses.

Several friends are military moms with all the extra work and worry that comes with it.

It's not easy.  Moms get weary. I know these friends and their constant therapy appointments, doctor visits, day to day needs, special education meetings, interventions, hospitalizations, expensive experimental treatments, and more.

Some seasons of motherhood are excruciatingly exhausting.  Hang in there Moms.

Let us not grow weary in doing GOOD (good here being doing what our children need.  Maybe you're the mom who devotes 8 hours a week to occupational therapy, speech therapy and physical therapy for ONE child.  Maybe you're the mom who has to work extra hours to afford the tutor for your child.  Maybe you're the mom who dealt with yet another meltdown in public.  Keep doing what you know to do, what your child needs), in due time you will reap the harvest.

(Here are some graphics in case you want to pin this so that on your bad days you'll remember to keep pressing on!)
