Motherhood is such a
roller coaster to me, as I’m sure it is to every Mom. There are the moments that I
just want to throw in the towel and quit (like yesterday morning) and there are
the moments that I feel my heart will burst with joy (like last night). The good
moments far outweigh the difficult ones by far.
This month has been
tough because Nate’s been working his normal full time job, plus extra side
jobs every night and Saturdays. So I’ve solo parenting every day except Sunday,
and I get weary. I also have so much respect for single parents who do it
alone every single day of the year; you all are super people! Seriously, from
getting them breakfast in the morning to the nighttime routine all alone is NOT
easy. I think it’s been a little more tough than normal because of my very low
energy levels, but we are trudging through and he’s almost finished up with the
jobs—thank you Jesus! J
I’m not a laid back person by any means, but I’ve learned to
let some things go and realized that I can’t do it all. One look at my laundry pile
and bedroom will make you quite aware that I am nowhere near super woman, but
I’m ok with that. I’m not sure I will
ever master the balancing act, but I’m sort
of learning to prioritize the things in my life that are the most
important—my daily walk with God, my relationship with my husband and raising,
loving and training my children. If at the end of the day I crawl into an
un-made bed, but I know I did the best I could with my family that day, then
that is all that matters.
They are all that matter.
