Little boys and their mommy

First, I love being a mom to little boys. They have their challenges, but there are so many rewards. I know the unconditional love of children, my children. Two little people that I am responsible to God for raising in His ways. Two little people that love me no matter what.

I've been working on teaching Nathanael manners. Sometimes it backfires. The latest has been to not pick his nose and proceed to eat what he fishes out. His newest idea: pick it and give it to mama. Yes, I'm now the booger disposal. Gotta work on that one.

But he can be really sweet. He can tell when I'm not feeling well and will just sit with me, or put his hand on my face and tell me that he loves me and "You okay, mama."

I don't feel like finishing this post, so I'm not going to. Sorry, maybe the next one will be complete.

How to choose...

When you have choices in life that seem hard, how do you choose? I pray, pray, pray. But sometimes it doesn't feel like there is a solid answer. I'm faced with some very big choices in life and don't know which way to turn. All the options will affect the rest of my life, not that every choice doesn't, but these are major. Do I make the career change and go back to school? Basically starting from square one? Do I keep my current career? Do I put myself out there to possibly find happiness? Or possibly get hurt again?

My grandfather instilled in me that life isn't always easy. We make bad choices and we make good choices. We find happiness and sometimes we get hurt. It is what you do with those outcomes that make you who you are.

The big question...Am I willing to make choices that could result in outcomes I don't want?
