Time flies or so they say...

On Friday, I'm going to have an 8 year old! I know with all kids that we all have, each month and each year is unbelievable. It flies by so fast and we always say so as if we've ever known a time where time didn't fly by quickly with our kids. I've never known a time that time has moved slowly with my kids or in my life.

I never knew that I wanted 4 kids. Originally it was 2. Then after I had S I knew that I would want more than 2, but not an odd number. So here we are at our final 4. An 8 year old, 5 year old, 17 month old, & 8 week old. Life is crazy. Some days I feel like everything is in order and organized and other days I want to rip my hair out at the pile of laundry in the laundry room, the stack of dishes in the sink, the legos all over the floor, the unmade beds, and the mess of crumbs that need to be swept. Today is a good day with a clean house and the sound of laundry clanking in the dryer. Hence the reason that I am able to sit and write this fabulous post.

On a personal note, I've started exercising. I'm reading the One Year Bible with a friend and we're going to talk every Saturday morning about what the Lord spoke to us. I'm on day 18 of no soft drinks. I am thinking of drinking one soft drink every Saturday, but I haven't completely come to that decision.

I'm off the enjoy my clean house before a hoard of teenagers invade it for Life Group tonight.
