For Mom

Hi Mom,
I think you are my only reader!

Life is a true blessing. I have moment I have to overcome. Moment when I feel so overwhelmed, where my temper is short and my kids see a grumpy mom rather than a happy one. I'm working hard on maintaining control and staying calm. When my bloodsugars are messed up, I have a much harder time staying calm. I've been better about remembering to take my thyroid medicine, to take my insulin as needed, and to test my blood. I'm no where near perfect, but I am working on it. I have a husband and two girls to care for; I need to be here, and be healthy, to do this.
My Berry-Girl is 4, she is in preschool, she loves all things princess, tea parties, animals, bikes, tee-ball, helping others, and being a mommy to her babies. My baby is nearly two now. Baby Bear is whirlwind of loves, cuddles, giggles. She follows her sister around like a duckling. They fight, the laugh, they play, and they love each other more than anything.
We have our two pups, our cat, and now we have 5 new babies! We welcome Ada, Caramel, Inca, Molly, and Tinker to our family today. They are one week old Ameraucana chicks, they are all female chicks and are going to be giving us eggs in a few months when they are mature. We have them in a brooder, and will be building a coop over the next few weekends.
The awesomest of all husbands has put down quite a few pavers, making a beautiful walkway and patio. We now have a nature path leading from our backyard to the farm fields on the far side of our property.
 Overall, life is blessed.
