We all have those times in our lives when we are so overwhelmed with everyday life, we just can’t imagine when and how things will calm down. That is my current status, since ummmm last month! Every week, more and more things keep happening that contribute to more chaos! I don’t see an end. There are kids to care for, husband to tend to, business to be done, cleaning to do, errands to run, mouths to feed, friends to see and oh, take care of myself! I am so stressed that I actually went out the other day for a few hours in flip flops (nothing wrong with that, right?). I took the kids from here to there, talked to many people, and then after a few hours looked down at my feet and realized I was wearing one sparkly flip flop that was mine and one plain black flip flop that was my husband’s, and it was several sizes larger than the other one! I cringed when I realized that I had been walking around like that for hours! What did people think?

I remember having days when I would forget to wear a bra to school or wear my clothes inside out. Oh, and I have had several times where I get so caught up in getting the kids ready in the morning, that I forget to put mascara on. I put all the other makeup on except for that, and then I don’t realize how bad I look until late at night. And I hate it when I glance at myself in the mirror and realize that my make up has smeared around my eyes, making me look like I have been punched in the face. Then I ask my husband why he didn’t mention that I look like a football player. He often responds, “Oh, I didn’t notice.” Is he serious? Do I really look like that all the time? If I only had more time in my life to slow down and take care of myself…

Life is a crazy ride! But I wouldn’t trade it! I may not get much sleep and I may not make much sense, but I LOVE IT!!!!
