I Will Survive (for Moms)

Throughout the month of August, The Mom Squad has shared a lot of great tips and advice on back-to-school issues.  

My advice for moms is to remember to laugh (and sing) throughout all the morning chaos, the homework blues, and the bedtime drama.

Everything that you think is a struggle now, will be just a distant memory in the future -- this too shall pass.  It's very hard to believe that my youngest child is now entering middle school!  Here come the hormones - for the third time around!  

Today, I just want to share with you a video of a song that I re-wrote for fun and encouragement.  This may be your current mommy stage or one you went through a few years ago.  Whether you have infants, toddlers, teens, or adult babies, I hope this song will bring a smile to your face as you listen to the words. 

Each day, remember to laugh as often as possible.  There is a time to laugh!  

Ecclesiastes 3:1-12

  There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.

If you have a favorite or funny song you sing in the mornings or a particular way you "survive" the often-hectic back-to-school mornings, please visit The Mom Squad Facebook Page and share your survival tips with us.
