Do you have those times when ‘life’ just gets under your skin? I work hard to look on the bright side and to stay upbeat. For the most part I think I do a good job. I know that I have many things to be thankful for, many of which I have addressed in previous posts.
Sometimes ‘life’ feels stressful. I am consistently torn between my work and all the responsibilities and home and the vital role I play there. At work, the majority of the time I have more work to do than I can get done in a day and a less than sympathetic environment (which I will not get into). I am typically stressed and overwhelmed. At home I have a house to maintain and children which I want to mold into healthy, happy, productive adults. I feel pulled in so many directions!
With my work sucking so much out of me during the day, many times I feel like my children and my home get the leftovers….but my family is my #1 priority….my heart is at home. This leaves me feeling guilt-ridden, frustrated, and sometimes bitter.
Reminds me of the verse in Matthew 6: “No one can serve two masters.”
I work hard to counteract in of these feelings by counting my blessings, praying, and making it a point to spend all the time I can with my kids…but I am human and sometimes the compellation of factors gets me down. This week is one of those weeks; I had a rough weekend of running the house alone with a sick dog to boot, and then a sick little man Tuesday and Wednesday. Work piling up for me while I was out of the office, and the addition of some other factors I am not going to get into. I am just ‘feeling’ it all right now….
Not so cheers today,
Beth

It will get better I promise. A good glass of wine and some chocolates can make anything better.
