Never enough time...
Okay, so I realize it's been a little while since I've posted anything on here. Isaiah is turning six months old this week and one would think that I would have adjusted to being a mommy, wife and teacher. I have not! I am having a difficult time finding the time to do everything that I want to do, need to do, and have to do. For instance, instead of whining about not having enough time on here I should be doing a load of laundry or running the vacuum. Thankfully when Tim is home he does a good job of entertaining Isaiah long enough for me to do these things. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed with the numerous things that come with being a responsible adult. My house is in terrible disarray and needs some serious attention. I have been pretty good about keeping up with laundry and dishes (that is a must for us to eat and wear clean clothes). I feel slightly inadequate when I log onto Facebook and read people's comments about making all of these wonderful homemade dinners... Tim feels lucky when I make anything at all! If it were up to me we would eat fast food every night just so I wouldn't have to clean up a kitchen afterward! I should be enjoying the fact that I'm on Spring Break, but I keep thinking about the bathroom that needs to be repainted and the floor that needs to be retiled, the checkbook that needs to be balanced, the clothes that need to be folded, the tile that needs to be mopped (I can't even remember the last time I mopped and it shows!). Then I feel guilty when I go to Lifegroup because I think surely I should have had time to read my Bible at least once during the week, but the truth is I don't even know where my Bible is! Honestly, I have lost it! I just feel like I am treading water, barely able to keep my head above the water at times. So, now that I am done venting/complaining/whining/sharing, I'm off to go clean something just so I can sleep better tonight.

Your words a heavy-laden with truth. It is so challenging. I feel grateful that I don't have a job that I go to every day, but feel really bad when I still don't get everything done. I've finally given up and try only to do my best every day. At first that was taking care of Little One and taking a shower... Now, I've learned to add things in that I feel are priorities. I certainly don't have it together (you should see my house right now!), but I feel more at peace about it. Thanks for sharing your struggle. I know that's not always easy either.
