My first day of journaling our world---9/14/12

I just thought I would like to start writing about our lives in general nothing fancy just something for me to gather my thoughts and put our world on paper.  Oh the joy of the morning waking up early to get the boys ready for school.  I really am not a morning person and never have been...so I guess when the boys are all gone don't call me until noon.  Normal morning oh wait not really there wasn't any fighting this morning and they were ready on time.  Is there something I should know about end of time, they are going to spring something major on me, etc.???  You know I love my boys so much but sometimes I could just die in the mornings with all the bickering over NOTHING.  I mean how many times can you tell one child to get their clothes on and brush their teeth and when you get in the car....guess what he didn't brush his teeth.  So back into the house we go to brush our teeth and then somehow it is my fault we are late for school.  Oh well, I do think that overall they are good children with some kinks in their DNA adn some other things to iron out before they move out or get a wife (I must prepare them for my amazing daughter in laws I am praying for now).  So Matthew comes home 1st period with what we think is strep throat so we spend the day going to the doctor in lexington getting home about an hour before we have to pick up Andrew.  So much for my day of cleaning, doing laundry and organizing the hall closet.  God does give me little gifts along the way:) So then the rose among the thorns is Eli..well he is not perfect but he is always there to remind me of God's grace and miraculous healing powers.  Even as I write this I hear the older two boys arguing at the top of their lungs and Eli is telling me they are being bad and not doing what God wants them to do.  Eli does do things that are wrong any child and I love my children equally but he listens when I tell him to do something, does what he is ask and generally is very well behaved...it drives teh other two nuts!!  Well wait here he comes whining because Andrew is sitting in his chair:)  You know kids are made to make us out to look like liars that is a God given talent they have we say they will eat green beans and they won't do it for the babysitter, we say they never climb on things then they break their arm on the monkey bars its inevitable.  Well here's how I see my day ending...I need to decide what is for dinner. I really want to order out but not sure how well that fits into the budget, a few more arguments, me telling them to love each other because God tells us to love each other, baths, maybe someone will get grounded, hugs, I hope some peaceful moments with kisses and maybe a movie.  Today was just another day in our normal little lives at the Frazier abode.:)
