Sometimes...

Sometimes I feel completely inadequate as a wife, mother, worker, daughter, granddaughter, friend...human.
I seem to be go, go, going all the time but somehow staying in place- not making any real progress.
There is so much I need and want to do but when? How can it all fit in? Is it acceptable to be tired at the mere thought of doing "more"?
Sometimes I would just like to be 5 again...my biggest pressures were coloring in the lines, afternoon kindergarten and a pesky little sister. The only to-do's were: playing, an occasional nap, playing, eating and following life's simple little rules. Why do we spend our childhoods wishing that we were adults and then spending adulthood wishing we were kids again??

Guess it is obvious that it is a cold, cloudy day today. RELAX Dana...it's all small stuff :0)

I agree, sometimes I wish to be 5 again too :) Before moving to AZ, I felt as if I needed several extra days in the week in order to get everything done, not including anything that I truly wanted (like planning for a vacation or something...that would be worth the stress), just the mere necessities. I sometimes feel that way now but my life is less hectic for sure. Just hang in there Dana, this too shall pass. You are a great woman and God only gives you what he knows you can handle.
