I’m tired a lot.
I’ve had a terrible time with multi-tasking ever since becoming a mom. Even with only one kiddo who is getting better and better at entertaining herself, I have a hard time focusing and staying on any task. Great intentions here, but little gets done, and the emotional tiredness is overwhelming.
And the mess! When I’m in clean-up mode (and manage to shut out the rest of life’s demands), I might get a lot cleaned up, but everywhere I go, little Miss is pulling out and spreading around what I JUST put away.
Yes, there are sweet parenting moments when I can’t help but smile at my amazing kiddo, but more often than not, it takes a lot of mental willpower to tell myself to focus on the moment, enjoy the moment, DON’T GET DISTRACTED for goodness’ sake!
It’s nice to know I’m not alone!
Moms’ Night Out is a family comedy taking over movie theaters across the country just now. While I haven’t had the privilege of seeing it yet, I did have the (late night) opportunity to read the novelization by one of my favorite Christian fiction authors, Tricia Goyer. What a sweet break! And I am still LOL’ing through a companion devotional by Kerry Pomarolli, full of incidents that seem uncannily like my #MomFail updates.

Mom’s Review
Wow! What an awesomely fun, wholesome addition to the mainstream big screens across our country! Two-for-one tickets today and tomorrow at Regal and Cinemark theaters – if you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend checking out whether it is showing in your town.
No, it’s not showing here in the boonies ruralville – the closest showing is 92 miles away. But the book reads amazingly like big-screen action, so I can just picture each crazy scene.
I love how moms at varying stages – the young single mom, the pastor’s wife with teenager, the always-wanted-to-be-a-mom mom, the got-it-together mom – discover their similarities and blow their façades in this fast-paced adventure. The rapid sequence of events – completely different than originally envisioned – not a moment to catch a breath, just plowing forward as events demand, hoping (and praying) for limited injury and loss of life along the way – that’s exactly what I feel like so often.
Oh, there are dads in this adventure, too. And I’m pretty sure they could relate to some of this stuff, as well.
Overall, the story is full of drama and comedy with a feel-good ending – and God is right there in the middle of it all, working His story into the middle of each character’s story. Well done, folks!
And Kerri Pomarolli’s devotional book? It is a great way to extend the story’s message out into your everyday life for a bit longer – to bring home the point that we moms are all overwhelmed on a regular basis, but it’s okay to laugh about it because God’s got it all under control…

Two things that don't apply to me:
a) I'm not in your country
b) I'm a grandmother / greatgrandmother who lives alone.
But apart from that I'd love to the show! xx
