So glad it's the weekend

I'm so glad it's the weekend. I slept in until 8:30 AM. That's a plus for me, seeing that I wake up at 4:30-5:00 every morning. I want to just sit back and catch up on some reading and some favorite TV shows, perhaps. Yes, it's one of those days. I'm always on the go. Today, I don't want to go anywhere, but to my bed. And you know what? I think I will.
I have to get the children ready for back-to-school. Yes, next week is the big one for them. More planning and more things to do for me. But that's the life of a Mom-preneur.

I hope that you are enjoying your day. I hope you have a happy and safe one, whatever is you are doing. That's what is important. That's the latest in the Days in the Life of a Mom-preneur. Thanks for blogging with me, until next time.

Boy! Shopping and Paying Bills is just like going to work

Today was bill and shopping day. It was like going to a full-time job.  It seemed extra hard today though. My son was in one of his "all-nighter" moods. This means he wanted to stay up all night. I had to get up and get an early head start, but just couldn't seem to get going. I wanted to plop back in bed, pull the covers over my head and sleep the day away. But who would pay the bills? Who would shop for the kids? I had to get up.

On these kinds of days, this is the time when your motiviation and perserverance must kick in. You want to sleep in, but you know you can't. These are the times when sacrifice shows you what it really is and does. I so get it. But now I am looking forward for the sun to go down, because I will enjoy my bed tonight. I am pleased that I got up today, because all the things I needed to do are done and that's worth all the sacrifice in the world; taking care of my priorities; my family and household.  Work hard at achieving your goals and you will reap the rewards later.

I'm curious to hear from you all. Leave your stories in the comments section. Tell me about your roughest day(s), when you just didn't want to get up. What did you do about it? And what was the outcome of your decision.

Thanks again for blogging with me and take care until next time.

Finally Caught A Break

Hey everybody. I know it's been awhile since my last post. That's because I've been running non-stop. I felt like Superwoman this week, but I sure didn't feel like her. If only I was made of steel. I think exercising was the most tedious this week. I decided to give the EA Active another try. It was pretty fun, because it allows you to have two players. So, I convinced my daughter to give it a try. She was sweating like I never seen her before. This Wii game really puts it to you.

Well, I'm going to keep it short this evening. I am so tired I can barely stay up. I think I'll skip watching 24 for tonight. It's time to just go crash, before I burn. Thanks a bunch for blogging with me. Good night.

Love is

Love is_____________ Fill in the blank.

Love is many things to each person. You have to look in side yourself to find out what love is to you. I could tell you over and over what something is, but you have to see it for yourself. I would like to share what the Bible says love is in 1 Corinthians 13.

Listen to this song by the lovely and talented Stacey Oricco



This is the definition of true love; not emotional or fabricated in nature; rather, genuine and agape in all its facets. It is the deep burning desire to give to someone even when they don't give back. It is the passion from the depth of one's soul to give and to forgive. It is the compassion of one's soul that moves them to do for someone who does not even return the favor. True love just is. It does not love because it is loved. It just is.

I hope that your soul finds this type of Love...

Just One of Dem Days

Today was just one of them days, when I wanted to be all alone. I had deadlines to meet, people to help, projects to complete, bills to pay, business tasks to complete, laundry piled-up, dishes to do, cats to care for, plants to water, food to cook, and I had to do this all before morning was over. Not to mention, my family had their demands, and it was just becoming a bit much.
Usually, the challenge didn't bother me. So what happened today? It was like a pressure cooker, with the steam pushing itself out the top. I usually have it all together, so I just decided to take a time out.

Posted here below is a song that goes way back; Monica's "Don't Take It Personal/Just One of Them Days"
I thought of this song and went to find it on YouTube. Thought I'd share it. If you are having, one of dem days, then take some time out for yourself. It's OK to, you know. You'll feel much better. You can relax, regroup and restart. Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for checking in. Take care!

Be Still My Soul

Today I was bit restless. I felt like something was missing in my life today. Out of all the blessings I could count, I still felt dissatisfied. I went to see Eclipse with my daughter today, and have to tell you that I am a sucker for romance. I loved the vampire and wolf action, but I must confess, I have to envy Bella. Yes, envy her. She has two guys fighting over her and she has to make a choice. I wish I had one guy who loved and admired me as much as Edward and Jacob do love and admire Bella. Yes, I am married and really try to put an effort into my marriage, as I believe we all should, but please see below.

Agape/Covenant Love: I think that kind of love only exist in G-d and fairy tales. Edward is so kind, gentle, caring and passionate. He has a warm heart, and the sad part about it is, he's not even human. So, my next question is, can humans love unconditionally and totally? Is there a soul mate out there for each of us? Does
G-d create someone special for everyone? Are we mismatched with people whom we have found lustfully attractive, but have no love for? Well, just look at the global divorce rate; every 2 out of 3 marriages end in divorce. Those who stay together, stay for several reasons other than love. And then they have extra-marital affairs, which causes more problems and closure.

Oh, if there were a love like Edward and Bella's on this planet. That would be a sight for sore eyes, because personally my eyes are tired of seeing the same old, same old. My heart is filled with joy when I watch the Twilight Saga. I love to watch Edward and Bella together. I do wish Jacob would just grow up though. Of course, the movie wouldn't get all the high ratings its getting, now would it!

That's just it. It's just a movie. Does love like Edward and Bella's really exist? I have yet to see it; two hearts beating as one, two souls in love with each other and two souls who live for the other; soul mates. That's two words people don't think about today when they get married. That's why there's such unhappiness in marriages. Marriage is a wonderful institution when it is shared by two people who really belong together. Just consider that before you say I do.

I sincerely wish you the best and thank you for blogging with me. Until next time, take care of yourself and yourself will take care of you ;)
