Maya has really been a challenge since we returned home from our trip. Every day I wake up wondering how I can distract her from having arguments with me all day. As I previously posted, Josh was sick all of last week and the beginning of this week - he is finally returning to himself. You could say that as a mother, I am completely burnt out. I find myself just going with the motions and not really enjoying my children.
Well, today I had a few minutes and so I checked my Facebook account. I noticed some friends were fans of a page called, "Prayers for Bronson". I clicked on the link to see what it was and the tears came flooding out. ( http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/35820985/ns/today-today_people/ ) The family is an LDS family in Utah who experienced an amazing miracle. Reading this article has completely rejuvenated me as a mother. I love my babies so much and I never want them to feel like they are a burden to me or that I am annoyed by them. This was such a touching story and it shows how fragile life really is and how the power of prayer can help.
Go kiss and hug your babies or loved ones!

My friend... I have been feeling just the same as you for the last few months... BURNT OUT! And I can so relate to doing all the mommy functions on auto pilot...it's hard sometimes to be the super moms we want to be. I guess we just need to rely on our Father in Heaven for strength to do our best.
I am reading the blog that 'Sara' wrote about her little 'Bronsons' recovery... what a faithful woman. Just yesterday, I heard a tragic story of a 2 year old church member drowning last week here in North Carolina..their story did not end as well. It made me so grateful for my sweet boy... with all of his quirks and the challenges he brings, I am so grateful that he is mine, and that he is alive and healthy. Just keep at it my friend... you can do it if you look for the strength in the right place! Miss you xxx
