Welcome
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6).

Well Shera, I handle the grumpies with 20mg of Prozac a day. And, sometimes (most of the time), I feel like I need a higher dosage! And beyond that I have to ask God to please help me. I also try to remember how blessed I am to have all of these children. And, how the bible says that a house that is full of children is a blessed house. And, I really get a grip when, I watch a show about women desperately trying anything to have children. And, I’ve been blessed with four! However, mothering is a hard job and we need a break like everyone else. Unfortunately, we don’t get a week of vacation after a year on the job!
I too can catch that case of the grumpies easily as well! Take the time to take time for yourself! I find my “special time” around 10:30 p.m.
Chocolate, coffee or wine. I wouldn’t suggest all three at the same time, but any combo usually does the trick for me. We are not stricken with this illness, but are battling a bad case of the lazies. Symptoms include: no clean laundry, dirty floors, and empty pantry. It’s awful, but it lasts up to 2 weeks I hear.
