Summer time with kids

Summer time is here for sure as you will need to figure how you are going to entertain your kids for the next 2 months.
  If you are going on a trip that's great!! That means half of it is already taken care of. If not you will have to do extra :(
   Since I am going on a trip I don't have to worry about the extra days since we will be on a adventure anyways but for now you can get these aging activity books I got from barnes and nobles. Keep the kids mines fresh over the summer and work on things they might have struggle with during the school year. Plus you give them ahead start.
  Planting was a great option for me as I use coffee containers I had and baby formula container as well:) it worked out great as mines is grow slower than the kids are.
  Going to the park, play outside or go on a bike trail.  If you don't mind spending some money you can always go to the movies or amusement parks but I'm in a budget for are trip so that's out the question.
  I do some art with my kids or go out at night to look out at the stars which is pretty awsome.
   Still have to go shopping for a few itmes so that's one thing you can also do with the kids.
   Yes there are fun things to do on a budget and just with no money.
   
  A few more things could be the pool, camping (in your backyard; )....) To walking around and grab a bite some where and just have fun!!!



  Hopefully things go smooth for you this summer and try not to stress out. You only have 2 more months.







Motherhood

Hats off/ breastfeeding 2 years

My hat goes off to the single mothers who work full time or part time and breastfeed there babies. Actually to every woman that breastfeeding her baby for 2 years. 1 year is already hard.

  I'm going through that last stretch of June almost July to where now I have to get formula. Yes I said it. I'm tired and I sure can't keep up with the supply and of course extra 3 kids that also needs my attention. So I do both which I'm glad I still have milk coming down.
  No one really wants to wake up in the middle of the night to warm up a bottle.

  Just saying hats to the mothers can make it to 2 years of breastfeeding exclusively. 8 feel like I could if I wasn't working like u did with my second child.
  It's okay things happen and life goes on. Glad I found one she doesn't mind drinking but when she was born she said No and only breastmilk.

  Glad I made it this far almost done I think? : /
 

Life as I know it : /

Life as I know it is going to get complicated. Dealing with daily issues of life to planning things for my kids to do I ask myself how am I going to do it with 4 kids which one is still in diapers. Tell you the truth I have no idea!!!
   Working about 34 hours a week and try to pick up more hours just to get things I need for my kids to budget so college will be a option for me next year.
    Now I'm taking steps to get things back on track. Some days I want to cry but tears never fall. Sometimes I want to stay in bed until noon but that is never a option so important hoping at least 8am which happens sometimes.
  I even want to just leave my job and walk out because I had enough but I have learn over the years you do what you can to get to the next level.

  So yes im a tired Momma. No I do not have everything planned but I take it one week at a time.
  I try to remember my to do list as I have to add extra in the middle of the week or end.
 Everything is not on schedule but some how I get it done. Even dinner might be at 10 o'clock at night.

  Im a single mom with loving parents that help me but some days they need a break as well


  motherhood is a struggle but keep your head up the storm is almost over.
