What a generous offer he made! I looked for that book at the library, but they didn't have it. Maybe I'll win it here, then donate it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhere between 2 and 3.
You know how to reach me.

About a 2, mostly thanks to a baby who is an awful sleeper.
ReplyDeleteMediocre. Sigh. I want it to be better though.

I would say I am weary but still moving.
ReplyDeleteWeary but still moving. Little ones in the house and hormonal issues after number 4. :)

Thanks for the opportunity to win this book. :)
#4, but on somedays, due to chasing after two littles and being pregnant with #3, I feel like #1 or 2!

Definitely weary but still moving.

My pride would want to say "doing pretty good," but, to be completely honest, I feel "used up and spent." I know it's just a season, but with a just-turned-3-year old and a 10-month old I feel like I'm barely hanging on most days. I often look back on my day and wonder how things actually got done! :)
ReplyDeleteWeary but still moving! Thanks.

Between 1 and 2, depending on the day.

I'd say "mediocre" sounds about right in this season.

Jess here. I'm not entering to win, but just wanted to answer... it makes me kind of sad and kind of just nod knowingly that so many of us answer #1 or #2. :) Motherhood is not for the faint of heart or faint of body.
ReplyDeleteI'm @ about a #2 also. This last week in particular has been ROUGH.
So far the odds to win are pretty good for those of you who have entered.

Somewhere between a 2 and a 3. TRying to get motivated to take myself in hand.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Jess, I'm in Scotland, so totally understand if I'm not eligible for the competition. I just really like your blog.
I think I'm at a 3-4 because I feel like I'm pulling out of a season of 1-2ness. My youngest is 2 and these last 2 years have been challenging with my crew of 3 kids. Spring has been good - I'm more able to get out and run, or walk, or just be in the beautiful sunshine with my kids.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! How exciting that the author is giving you books to give away! I appreciate your blog, Jess. You're keeping it real as a mom and follower of Jesus. :)

#2 - Due soon with #4 and homeschooling and keeping up with #3. But God is kind and I'm just glad that I'm still moving at this point.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your blog so much, Jess. Glad you're still posting.

Yes! So generous of the author to make this possible! Hmmm...I'd have to say generally I am #2 weary but still moving.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, if I am drinking coffee it would temporarily move up to #4, but then at the end of the day I am worse off.

#2 - Weary but still moving.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAs far as my physical health - I WAS doing pretty good until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a little over a year ago. Now I'm "weary but still moving". Kind of hard to have this chronic disease when you have a gaggle of young children.....

I'm gonna say between 3 and 4. Physical condition is actually not much of a problem at this time, but mental, emotional and financial too, are all pretty much running on fumes a lot of the time. I hope I'm entering on time!!! (UGH the comment moderation words... I can't get them right.)
ReplyDeletebetween 3 and 4, but closer to 4. Too many health issues in my family not to make my health a priority.

With three kids four and under, I'm weary but still moving. :-) I praise the LOrd for the still moving.
ReplyDeleteI'm about a 4 right now :)
