~STRIKE!!~

Sometimes as a Mom I feel like screaming, "THAT'S IT, I AM GOING ON STRIKE". I don't know how many times I have to tell my son Heath "Do not put your feet on the couch" and in case you were curious, yes that does include walking on or jumping on. Thought I should clarify because sometimes he needs very specific direction.
"But Mommy, I wasn't jumping. I was walking." Really? So ...OK I just keep reminding myself He is 6...He is 6....He is 6!!!!!
So this evening I am picking up dirty laundry, toys, cleaning the kitchen from dinner and starting laundry to try to make my week a little easier. Get an early start ya know?
The more I do the more there is to do...and I am really starting to get frustrated and just really complaining on the inside and ...to be honest...feeling sorry for myself that I don't have a maid I guess who knows...lol
And God has little ways of saying "HEY GIRL!! Quit complaining and be thankful"..btw the very lesson I am trying to teach my boys! (Do as I say not as I do) lol
Heath walks in my room and says to me "Mommy, come to my room I have a surprise for you" So he is pulling me upstairs and I am expecting to walk in an find something he has built with Lego's or a fort he built to play in. But I walk in and here is what I see....

And he says to me "Look Mommy I made my bed so you wouldn't have to." And what a beautiful job he did. This is where I said to God...OK Lord..I hear you loud and clear.
Then I turn into that shameful little kid with my head hung in shame. It still amazes me how if you won't stop complaing long enough to hear him he will do something to get your attention.
