The Thoughtful Homemaker

I am actually excited! My back is real sore though. I will write more when I have time I promise!

I was not excited when Evan Almighty came in the mail from Netflix. I had heard it was a terrible movie. I was also put off because the Bible says that He promised to never flood the earth again. I checked the rating and decided as a family we would watch it.
I was happy […]

Sometimes when you are raising babies by yourself, you feel yourself going into insanity. I do this when I am super tired and my children refuse to go to bed. Victoria’s teacher was absent yesterday so she was in a bad mood. She hates change and has been diagnosed with having separation anxiety problems. I […]

It is funny how each child is so different. Aron as an 18 month old is very different from Jon as an 18 month old. Jon liked to play with toys for hours and destroy and color on things. He was so focused that you had to fight to GET his attention. He wasn’t a […]

It seems that when toddlers reach 18 months old they receive this burst of energy that never burns out. Right now my youngest, Aron, is in that stage. It is time a when strollers are absolutely needed. If you don’t bring a stroller, be prepared to run and fight your toddler into you are exhausted.
I […]

I have been sick the past week, so it was party time for my kids! No more! Momma’s back and she is feeling fine! Victoria got four time outs. She is six years old so that means she got 6 whole minutes!! Jon got two time outs for four minutes. I gave Aron 30 second […]

Even though I felt terrible, I was able to pull off Victoria’s birthday party with success. My parents helped out a lot! I am thankful for all of the help I received this past week while I was sick with the flu. Many women from church came to help. They watched my kids, cleaned my […]

I was up all night trying to hear the news. It wasn’t because of Super Tuesday. We had tornado warnings all night. I was worried and could not sleep. At 10:30 I heard a rumbling and my lights flickered. Forty miles away a tornado touched down in a rural area and killed almost 30 […]

Though I felt deadly ill, I promised my daughter that I would make cupcakes for her class, and made them I did. Victoria helped me and it was a lot of fun being with her. I felt ok in the beginning, but after an hour I had trouble holding myself up. I so exhausted myself […]

* Fever of 100 F to 104 F, which can reach 106 F when symptoms first develop. Fever is usually continuous, but it may come and go. Fever may be lower in older adults than in children and younger adults. When fever is high, other symptoms usually are more severe.

My children had the flu! My poor babies. I discovered this when I became sick myself and recognized the symptoms. The flu is the worse Hell! Even worse when you have three babies to care for. Some how I am making it.
One thing that I have learned about the flu is that caffeine and […]

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do. . .
Even though I have three children, I felt like I was that Old Woman. It is very difficult to raise children alone, and I don’t recommend it!
I live in an apartment. Outside they […]

I had a full nights sleep last night! Aron, Jon, and Victoria all went to bed by 9PM. Jon woke up again because he is sick, but he went back to sleep. I went ot bed too! Oh, I have finally weaned off Aron!! I feel so free, and full if you know what I […]
