a million field trips.
uniforms hanging to dry.
unmade beds.
cereal nights.
packed school schedules.
art shows.
baseball equipment everywhere.
dirty dishes.
quick hair.
messy playrooms.
May means life.

Finding the Woman in "Mommy"
Wiping noses and bottoms, doing dishes and laundry, making beds and lunches and endless meals...I have lost the woman inside me. I pray this blog will help me find myself again in the midst of the mundane tasks of mommyhood. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a mommy and wife...with all my heart. It is better than I ever imagined, but the endless work has snuffed out some of my joy. My sister-friend says to "savor every moment." So here is my attempt to live to the fullest during this stage of life.

but summer is right around the corner!!!!
You can tell a lot about a person about their blogs! You are so down to earth and real Janelle. i read so many blogs that seems like all they do is brag about their perfect life and their perfect children...seems more like an advertisement to become Mother of the Century. So thanks for your transparency and honesty - it is beyond refreshing!

I have to know, do I see picture magnet system to organize what child has what note on the fridge!? If so, great idea, if not... you still like you've got it ALL together & organized! Nice to see that we're not the only busy family this month! Tennille
Carissa...I am living for that day!
Sara...you are preaching to the choir. Sometimes it's too much on fb and blogs. Thank you for your sweet words!
Tennille...that is my front door. Those papers get lost in the infamous school pile so I started putting them up on the door. Not pretty, but effective!
summer is almost here, summer is almost here. the mantra my friend!
you are taunting me with that captain crunch. i am hungry and now i might have to go have a bowl for breakfast :o)
i am so ready for the slow down of summer!
love you friend!
this is so may!
i should place all the events on the door too. i am going crazy with all the last minute (my sons school and girls school which share a campus and staff all run on last minute notice...ergh!)
summer school..boo.
I LOVE this post. May means life--that's good.
I especially love the dishes picture...it just looks so familiar, I don't know where I've seen that before... Oh, right! It looks just like MY sink! :-)
amen and amen.
love your realness.
love it so much.
i need to show you a picture of my playroom, you'll feel better.
How did you take a pic of MY sink and put it on your blog??? :) Love your busy May days!! Slow down June is coming soon.... oh wait- it's here because I'm behind on my blog reading!! :)
