camping trip

it's been a very long time since i posted, finding the time to write my thoughts, or even sharing my life has been hard. it's like were non stop going and i find my self struggling to relax. i thought going on a camping trip would be just what we needed but a 24 hour camping trip not so sure it's worth all the work, (putting a tent up and taking it right down the very next day to name 1) but then again it's for sure worth all the memories, even if some of those include yelling a bit for my kids to stop giving me a heart attack, or carrying a 3 year old who really wasn't old enough for the hike, or a very emotional 5 year old, who seemed to complain or fall and get hurt every 10 minutes, who also needed to use the bathroom, but we were in the woods, and no toilet in site (i'm not talking about #1 here) but cancel all that out, and it really was a great trip, not sure I would plan it for mothers day again (at the time we had no idea it was mothers day)....I just kept saying it's not about me, not about my achy, unexercised body, it's about the kids, it's about taking time spending as family, walking away from all other distractions and concentrating on the beauty God has given us, in my kids, in my husband, and in the world He created. (just a side note, I think i will appreciate things a lot more when we head to the beach in June!)
