Why the title?

It has been such a crazy weekend already.  Ball parks all day yesterday, practice today and laundry always.

I actually have been wanting to let you all in on why this blog is titled the way it is.  Really, is it that hard, is a question that I ask myself on a daily basis.  I worked for one company for 15+ years as a Benefits Administrator and I can promise that this career as a mom is far more challenging.  I have self declared myself as the Chief Family Officer of the Wales Family and it is a title I wear proudly.  Everything is handled by me and I run this family's life as a business.  There are schedules, routines, rules and procedures.  And the best part about it, is that my family is not affected by it adversely.  They do not know what goes on behind the organization that it takes to "get things done."  But what they do know is that Momma's got it.  Just ask Momma.  And you know what, that is the best feeling ever.  So when a challenge arises, I ask, Really, Is it that hard?  And the answer is no, I will figure it out.  I accepted the challenge to save money, therefore I started couponing and watching sales.  Anything our kids want or that will benefit them in some way, we always find a way to make it happen.  So we push up are sleeves and we get busy.  I do second guess myself and wonder if it can be done, thats human nature.  But I accepted this job and I give it my all at all times.  This is the best job ever!  There is no vacation, no sick days, no days off with pay, and well, no pay.  But it is my job and I love it.  I get paid with hugs and kisses, I love you and thanks.  I know it is all worth it.

I challenge you to face your challenges head on.  Ask yourself the question and then accomplish the task.  You will do it.  You have to, your family is depending on you.  I heard this on the radio and thought it was so good that I have to share it.  Ask yourself, what is bigger:  my storm or My God.  I thank God everyday because I prayed for this family life and I got it by His grace.

That is what the blog is for.  We are currently on the task of coupons.  But feel free to comment on anything regarding the joys and difficulties of being a mom.  We all need each other and any tips that would help.

Enjoy your Sunday and I hope to see you at the Coupon meeting tomorrow night.
