In Twenty Years...

Here it is again, that feeling of how am I going to do it all. How on earth am I going to get it all done to way I want it. I get up early because at nite I am so tired. Try to get dinner started and prepared so that I can come home and get the kids and I out for some form of exercise. Then eat and some down time and its bedtime. Only to wake at 4am worrying about the homework that didn't get checked, the phone calls that didn't get made, the conversation that didn't get talked about because they don't do well in the morning. Deep breaths again.

Why do we put so much undo stress on ourselves? We didn't come with the title
"wonderwomen", so why do we expect that out of us? High expectation? Worried that we will fail as a parent? Wonder how others think of us? Why are we so hard on us and expect so little of others? Do the ones that appear to have it all together, really do? Do all wonder these same things and don't express it or show it? I think I would explode.

I know that I have alot going for me. I know I get overwhelmed. I know that I will get over it. I know that I have a need to just let off some steam. I know that I am not alone. I know that I have a lot to offer and do. I know that I am a good mom even when days go by and no one seems to affirm it. I know that I am loved. I know that I have a journey. I know that I am meant to do great things. I know that HE knows and that is all that should matter!

There is a reason for everything, but we do not need to know it all the time, as children we ask WHY ? a 1,000 times, as parents we say DOn't worry! a 1,000 times.
HE KNOWS WHY, that we can trust in.
