Oxymoron?

Before I even begin this first posting. I have to share that as of 12:32pm I have already pulled over on the side of the road to spank my almost 3 year old. He truly was asking for it, I'll get to that on a later post and I have cleaned up poop that fell out of my almost 3 year old's diaper that he decided to take off on our carpet. With that said most people in this day and age wouldn't want to be called a homemaker much less understand that it can be joyfilled. This is for all the stay at home moms out there. I truly believe that I am a joyfilled homemaker and I hope you will find some humor in it all, as I'm sure we all do. Some days I want, I mean I do, scream and other days I laugh so hard with my almost 3 year old we have tears in our eyes.

I'm thankful my husband can and wants to provide for us, so that I can spend most of my time with my children. I'm thankful I go to a church where most of the moms I hang out with stay at home, I'm encouraged by them.
I'm thankful that the Lord has given me a true peace and contentment where I am in life.

I think women and new moms can lose their focus on where their calling is, what is their identity and are we ever going to be able to carry a small purse and have our hands free again? I'm still questioning the later question...
