Pin It
Today I am feeling the effects of not being able to get it all together. I want to do so many things and then I get overwhelmed and struggle to do just one. I am satisfied most days if the boys, Justin and I are just alive at the end of the day. Sometimes I look around and think, "other people are doing it why can't I." I want to read 12 different books, always be caught up on my paperwork, and be on top of caring for my church family. I want to work out, eat less, sleep more... and some days I want to sleep less. I want to have 5 differnt families over, have coffee with friends, and sit and play with my boys for a hour. I want to hit my pillow at the end of the night and not have a huge roll-over list for the next day.
I know discipline is the key, but if I was a discipline person I wouldn't be having this problem.
I will have to be satified with the little victories... Bath time with the boys, prayers said kneeling by the couch, my husband happy with a good meal, one project completed, a neatly made bed, and no pee on the toliet. I guess it is just how you look at it.
Wow bob I could not have said it better myself. The funny think is, is that I always look at you as the person who gets so much done and I can't figure out how you do it. So thank you for sharing, is it encouraging and I don't feel like such a slacker. It is so hard to get it all done and I am pumped when everyone is alive at the end of the day as well. Love you and your honesty!
