I have been in overload these past few weeks. Juggling different jobs, which consist of mom, wife, photographer, data entry, cook, maid, and nurse!!
All of which I wouldn't trade for anything!
With all the craziness, long days, and sleepless nights....I can find a joy in every aspect of my life.
In my photography, I have been working on some "Coffee Table Books". They are now done and ordered, can't wait to see them. The Christmas cards for a client are also done, and ordered! The 'it' color being a royal blue this year and it's look is very classic! Mecate's turning '3' cards are also completed and ordered...so excited to send to friends and family...super cute!
In my 'ranch' job, it's weaning/pragn' time...so I have spent many hours chute side entering data on the calves/cows. It won't slow down til Dec. Now I am also taking over Monthly Inventory for all ranch divisions. Thankful for a chance to work from home and still contribute to our household! We couldn't ask for a better company to work for...family oriented, friendly, caring, supportive, encouraging, stable, and FUN! A huge thanks to the Silver Spur for keeping with the tradition of 'ranching'! I wouldn't want to raise my children any other way...
In my wife, mom, nurse, and cook job/s....well, it's been a time. Juggling outside jobs, school agendas, sickness, making sure no matter what time of night it is, that there is a hot supper to eat. Dr. app's., scheduling eye app's for both girls. Making time to take the kids to the library for reading time, making a point to surprise them with a sweet treat here and there. Then looking over to watch Miss Paisley start to 'crawl'. WOW...what a bittersweet moment... I can officially say, that I could use a 24 hour nap! But when it seems I'm drowning in it...I can cuddle up with one or all of my babies and hold them tightly in the comfy recliner by the warm fire and smile!
I am so thankful for the life the Lord has granted myself and my family. Each and every day He sends a newness to our lives, a freshness! I thank Him for all of our opportunities and for all of our daily blessings. He has sustained us against the 'world' and continues to bring confirmation that our 'doings' are 'right'! It seems when we are walking in His will, is when the ol' Devil rears his ugly head and attacks...but I have no worries, for He was also persecuted and I know He is here now with us, blocking every attack!
One day every eye shall see and every ear shall hear....
To wrap this up...all I can say is...I am thankful!
