All Out of Energy

Some days, such as today, I wonder how I'm suppose to keep my energy level up. I mean seriously!! It's 4 PM and the hardest part of the day isn't even here yet. I'm having a day that I just want to sit and read a book in silence, maybe with some Pandora radio in the background. Even though I'm not a runner, I know they have times where they wonder how they are possibly going to go any further but they just have to keep going. Today is one of those days. I don't know how I can possibly make it to the end of the day. I have no energy, no desire to clean, cook, NOTHING. God has blessed me with 2 energetic boys who keep pushing me forward. Sometimes, I wonder how other moms do it. How do they possibly keep their energy up!!

I heart MOPS

Shortly after I had my oldest, the bouts of lonliness started to kick in.  I was a first time mom, staying at home, not knowing what the heck I was doing.  Don't get me wrong, staying home was such and blessing and still is, but I really missed adult conversation at times.  I needed to connect with moms who were going through the same thing I was.  That's when I was introduced to MOPS.  I love MOPS!! MOPS stands for Mothers of PreSchoolers.  It's a ministry that brings together mothers who have children birth-5 years.  I encourage ANY mom to check for a local MOPS chapter.  I'm about to start my fourth year of MOPS and can't wait!!
