FML?!? Seriously?!? NO - LML!

Last week April from Mama on a Green Mission posted about how she hates seeing FML posts. In case you do not know what that means... it means "Eff My Life" - you know... the "F" word. I have to agree with April. Every time I see that, I cringe. Most of the one's I see post this are moms so it really feels like a punch in the stomach. I mean really? You really feel that way? You have a roof over your head, food on the table and a beautiful family... and you are thinking FML?!? I know that more than likely it's just a phrase... but that's a pretty drastic thing to say, isn't it?

No.

How about... LML!

I LOVE my life!

• I love my life when Mike called the other day from work to tell me the car wouldn't start.
• I love my life when Emma used up the rest of the milk so the little kids couldn't have cheerios in the morning.
• I love my life when I got a bill from the collection department of the hospital this past week.
• I love my life when Jack creeped back into using me for a pacifier this month and I haven't slept good for weeks.
• I love my life when my kids have fought with each other this whole entire past week.
• I love my life when I had to wake up to take an acid pill because my heartburn was so bad in the middle of the night.
• I love my life when I went to bed early with Gracie and Baby Jack because I was about to puke from a migraine that hit me out of nowhere two nights ago.
• I love my life when I found out I have to move. Soon.
• I love my life when I found a crushed strawberry on my carpet last week.
• I love my life when I got a $300 bill for Austin's drivers ed. program.
• I love my life when I asked his dad for half of that bill - and he said no.
• I love my life when one of my baby swings died for Baby Jack last night.
• I love my life when I went out this past week without my diaper bag... and Baby Jack pooped though his clothes and I had to buy diapers, wipes and a new outfit because it was easier than going home to get my diaper bag.
• I love my life when my daycare boy keeps bringing sicknesses into my home.
• I love my life when my daycare mom joins a gym instead of paying the money she owes me.
• I love my life when my daycare parents tell me they are coming at 6am, so I wake up Baby Jack from snuggling me... and they don't show up.
• I love my life when my daycare boy talks my ear off all day long but he won't tell me when he poops his diaper until it starts coming out onto his clothes.
• I love my life when my kids don't clean the dishes good and I pull out a coffee mug with a coffee ring still in it.

So....

FML?!?

No.

I love my life.

I serve a awesome God. I am married to a loving, hard working man who worships the ground I walk on and we are IN LOVE. How many people can say that? I have beautiful kids and they like me most of the time. I have a fantastic step-daughter and I don't think she hates me anymore! I have a roof over my head, food on the table. And we have our health. All of which I believe God has provided for us.

No matter how bad things can get, I would never think "FML".

I thank God for everything I have and I wouldn't change a thing.

What do you think?

Do you say "FML" when things go wrong?

And if so, why?

THIS WEEKS TOPIC   

 Hunting. Yay or Nay?

What do YOU say?  

My Opinion?

 

YAY!

I grew up in a hunting family, so of course I am going to say yay to this topic. I don't think there is anything wrong with hunting. It's even biblical, how do ya think Adam and Eve made their animal skin coverings?

My dad was always a hunter. He mostly hunted game. We always had hunting dogs as pets, ever since I was born. The dogs were in hunting clubs and had to compete. So the dogs would go away for about 6 - 8 weeks for training every year and then come back.

Wet Nursing: Is It For You?

April from Mama on a Green Mission and Courtney from Joy of Momma Joyner host this breastfeeding meme every Tuesday and the topic is always different. I joined this meme a couple of times. Once the topic was on extended breastfeeding, and last week it was on my breastfeeding journey. I’d love to keep at it and post every week.

This weeks topic is wet nursing.

Well, lets see here… I never actually have given this topic any thought other than what I have read about the old biblical times.
