I have WAY too much on my plate. I dont know what makes God think I can handle what I have coming my way. And whats ironic about it all is that its all my fault. The stress, the anxiety and overwhelmed feelings I have. Why do we self induce ourselves with TOO MUCH? Are we trying to please ourselves or OTHERS? Why do we push ourselves to the breaking point?
I am having to make some of the hardest decisions that I have ever made. I have been praying and trying to make these decisions based on what I feel is best for my family and for myself, but is there really a wrong choice if the outcome will be good?
I hate feeling stressed. Its not a good look for me and lately I havent been looking very good! I hope that I can feel better soon.
On a more lighter note...Aubrie started piano and voice lessons today with Robyn W. Caleb wanted to take a break from piano and so Aubrie took his spot instead. She was thrilled! And loved it!!

Well woman...Usually a person makes the choice. Rasing a large family and being a stay at home mother and wife. Or going to school and persuing a career. Both are a load in themselves. I dont know how you do it. I often wonder if its healthy for you to try. Sometimes downsizing isnt so wrong. Mega Props to you for trying to do both but dont streech yourself so thin that you jip yourself or your loved ones! Its Quality that matters not quantity. Nobody will think any less of you for dropping a little here and there! And if they do Im betting they havent been in your shoes. Theres always time for school after the kids are grown. But if your choice is to take on the world...then you go girl and Ill be here to help when needed.
Holly, It there is anyone young woman that can handle pressure and problems that get thrown at them, it is you. Holly, you have done GREAT in your life! Sure things are confusing and frustrating right now. . . but please trust me when I say, "It will get easier". You will continue to get more organized in your life. Objects will pattern out, and run smooth. The children are getting older, and somewhat easier to handle. Continue to be an example to them, and they will grow to be good people in their own lives. Trust me, you are doing an awesome job. Remember the saying, "I said it wouldn't be easy. . . But worth it". You are Loved; that is one of the most important, positive things that you always need to remember. You have so many family and friends who love you and who care.
I totally know what you mean! I hate the winter cold and to throw all the snow on top of that! But I know you are strong and can handle the challenges. We wouldn't be who we are without the trials. You are such a wonderful mother and example. And I agree with some of the other comments. Don't feel bad if you "don't do it all." I decided a long time ago that my kids are only kids for a little while and someday I can go back to school. And that works for me! So whatever you decide just know that it's ok! You will be ok!
yay for piano and voice lessons. my goal is to one day take them both again. on a different note... call me if you need anything. i hate being stressed. let me know if i can lighten the load at all for ya. ;) i dont know what i'd do, but i can try.
