Today I am feeling a little defeated. There is so much to do, always the need to impove and do better, and never time for it. For some reason it has all crashed down on me today (Maybe it's the lack of responsibility I've had while away for 2 weeks on an amazing trip?!?) This blog is outrageously behind on posts. And as I sit thinking about all the things I need to post, to catch up, I am missing a lot of memories and things I want to document. So, I'm going to sit down, for just a minute and write down my thoughts for today.
I'll be honest, I don't always love being a stay at home Mom. The demands are high and sleep is no where near what I would like it to be. Sometimes I think it would be easier to walk away from it "all" for just a few hours. But today I was preciously reminded of how blessed I am to be at home. I'm grateful that I can be here when the kids need someone when they are sick. I'm grateful I can be here to run the forgotten homework or lunch over to the school. I'm grateful I'm able to keep tabs on them and try to keep them safe. I'm grateful we have a home that the kids, and all their friends, can play and hang out at. I'm grateful I am around to lend a helping hand, and give support to my neighbors. And I'm grateful I am around when my little girl needs a clean shirt at school, and I can just run it over to her.
Loved this article I read today
