I am having a moment.
A moment where I realize that I can't do everything that I want to do.
Sometimes it's just not physically possible.
That makes me frustrated and mad.
Mostly at myself.
In my mind, I am supposed to be superwoman and invincible.
And I can accomplish everything my little heart desires, all while looking poised and confident
and my kids are dressed in clothes that actually match with cute hairstyles and bows.
And maybe even coordinating shoes!
Reality is I am lucky to bathe my kids every other day
(otherwise, like their mother, their skin would dry out and their hair would not be happy)
and I'm happy most days when I get them all out of their pajamas!
Even better if I myself get dressed! Woot!!
I know this is Satan making me feel like I should be doing better.
Though I know that in all honesty I am doing awesome.
I need to be giving myself more props I'm thinking.
Because seriously.
I'm amazing.

When you have a moment to yourself... ha... you should read the talk by Elder Ballard called Daughters of God. It has always been one of my favorite talks, but especially when I was in your position as a mother. Three LITTLE girls that always kept me going... and feeling like I wasn't doing enough, but felt like I couldn't give more because a lack of energy and time. My favorite quote from that talk is, "Water cannot be drawn from an empty well." You are doing more than you know and you're wonderful!!!
Thanks Ally. I know you have been where I am. I will have to look that talk up, in my "spare" time. ;)
