balancing act

Oh gosh, here is is again. That blah, blah, mundane feeling. I hate it!  I want to stay home with my boys, want to be a stay –at-home-mom. At least for now. But, do you ever feel it’s feast or famine in mom world? There are so many things I don’t take on because, I can’t, or I won’t, or I have a bunch of excuses. But, honestly, there are times I really can’t. I can’t squeeze another thing into my day. And the things I already have on my plate I am not doing justice. Then out of the blue things settle, like I think I want them to. But, I find at times I work better under pressure. When I thinK things are going to be slow and I don’t have anything coming up, I get unmotivated and lazy. That’s what’s happening now. The last month has been nothing short if insane. But, almost the whole thing was full of sickness and ended with spring break. Just getting dressed was hard, because I had a screaming baby clinging to my ankles. I longed to clean my house, because I couldn’t. It’s always more appealing when you can’t do it. Now I am behind on my house, behind on my workouts, and really I don’t feel like doing any of it. It is so hard to get back in the swing of things once you stop!!! 

Where is the balance I ask???

Well, I guess I’ll sit back, relax, try not to feel guilty, and enjoy the ride. It won’t be long before I’m up to my ears in something. God, make me content in all things and to do things for your glory even if it is folding laundry, cleaning a toilet, or helping a neighbor.

Very cute photos. I love the last one. Don't worry, there's a verse I need to look up for you that says Motherhood is the Highest Calling.
