Ugh! It's been a LONG and rough week for some reason. This is already week 2 of back to school so our routine is actually going quite smoothly. Maybe it's the cooler weather? Baby Natalie is only waking about once a night but I still can't sleep well. Who knows. I just feel so tired and sluggish. Not matter how early I hit the sack, that morning wake-up around 6am-ish is a pain in the arse. :( Maybe it's a combination of things in my life right now that is just wearing me out??? . . . . .
Was thinking this morning and trying to narrow down my routine during the day but it's such a fine line between deciding what is too much and what isn't.
How much is too much TV time? . . . .
sometimes an extra episode of Dora gives me 30 min. of sanity!
How much is too much computer time? . . . .
again, some sanity time and communicating w/hothers.
How much is too much coffee? . . . .
is there such a thing as this??
How much is too much of saying "No" or redirecting little ones? . . . .
gosh, will he EVER just do it the first time, lol!
How much is too much doing and not getting much back? . . . . .
I'm supposed to serve joyfully w/out resentment, right?!
How much is too much housework to worry about? . . . . .
the trinity of laundry, dishes & vacuuming are sapping my creative side, really!
How much is too much yelling, craziness around the house when I really just want to lie down? . . . . .
is it Mommy's naptime yet????
How much is too much with a pet that no one seems to want to take care of? . . . .
can add said responsibilities into my housework question - blah!
How much is too much with tight budgeting? . . . .
will there EVER be relief??
How much is too much with monthly bills? . . . . .
seriously, what more can we go w/out to save $$$??
How much is too much time between date nights? Alone time with different kids? . . . . .
ALWAYS a balancing act with this
How much is too much volunteering/serving? . . . . .
want to help, but lately I just feel burned out on teaching kids - I'm sure that sounds awful. :(
How much is too much planning, organizing, rearranging when it all ends up looking the same w/in a week? . . . .
nothing else to say here!
How much is too much missing that moment to say what you really feel? . . . .
either good or constructive criticism?
How much is too much pushing, hinting for me to 'make nice' with emotionally abusive people because 'they are who they are'? . . . .
can't people just live their own life?!
How much is too much in regards to forgiveness, repentance, and reconcilation? . . . . .
I know God wants us to forgive, but he doesn't mean to let others continually harm us like a doormat does he??
I'm sure there are millions more that I, and others, could post. Just really in a crux with things lately wondering how much it too much trying to be everything to everyone while still trying to figure out who I am???
