Busy, Busy, Busy....
I don't think there will ever be a time in my life when I'm not busy...mainly because that's when I'm happiest...when I'm busy! From the time I wake up, life in the Tyndall house is on...coffee for me (has to be first), breakfast for everyone, homeschooling, lunch, bible study and workout, cleaning and laundry somewhere in there, cook supper, baths and bed, then back to do it all over again the next day. Not to mention church activities, sports (which we rotate out each season..we are at the tail-end of basketball going into baseball)...there is really something every single day. In the midst of all of this busyness, I try to take time to savor all of these precious moments of my boys being little, but it's hard not to just be on auto-pilot day in and day out. Being that I am a full-time "stay-at-home mom", I am convinced that this is the hardest job there is. That's why, when people ask me if I work, I should eagerly say "yes....all the time....24/7" but for some reason, I always say, "No, I stay at home with my boys"....like that's not work?!! Well, for those people out there that think stay-at-home moms do nothing but lay on the couch, eating bon-bons, they are sorely mistaken. All this being said....I wouldn't trade one minute of being with my children, teaching them and "rearing" them in the way they should go....everyday is a blessing and a priviledge to be able to be with them. Throughout all of the busyness of each day...I am SO BLESSED:))

Things I Love...
1) GETTING MY HAIR DONE!! I got mine done today (I try to go every 8 weeks for a color and cut). Believe me, over the years, I have tried to do it myself (color and cut) and nothing compares to someone else doing it for you. It's my pampering time. I would rather have my hair done than my nails...hands down.
2) Coffee: I have such a love affair with coffee. I am an at least 2 cups a day girl if not more (it's definitely increased since we've started homeschooling). Didn't much care for it until I started drinking it in college; must have been all of those all-nighters.:)
3) Make-up: I've always loved it and always will...not much else to say here:P
4) SLEEP:) (and naps whenever I can get them...)
5) Of course, my husband. What a gift he is to me everyday. I am blessed that God gave me my best friend, wonderful Daddy, and spiritual uplifter all in one!
6) My boys....everything about my boys. What I am really loving lately is hearing their laughter coming from their room and seeing their little relationships develop...precious:).
7) My dog....even though he is hyper most of the time, his sweet and docile spells make up for the 95% of craziness! He's my fur baby!
8) My Savior and my salvation: Everyday it's hard for me to fathom that Christ endured death on the cross for me and my shortcomings...."amazing" doesn't even begin to describe the love He has for us.
9) MY LIFE! I can honestly say I truly love my life...every bit of it...even the chaotic times of the boys running around like little monkeys and the house being a mess 5 minutes after I've cleaned it. It's a really good feeling to be content:) Thank you Lord for all of your blessings on me...
