Saying good-bye to a difficult month of October.  
It was exhausting with many things begging to be paid, bought or "coming up".  It was a difficult month emotionally with the bb bullet hitting our window twice, because of the what-ifs that filled our minds.  It was a tough month with lots of attitudes, disobedience and privileges taken away from little boys.  The more people in our family- the more chaotic and stress-filled our home has become.
Today I am saying good-bye to all that and hello to the excitement and activities for the month of November.   
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving and I'm anxious to celebrate this most precious time with my children.  I pray that I have learned to lean on Him during the good and bad days and never lose sight of what I was created for.
