Just when I think things are getting back on track, they seem to fall apart all over again.
Mainly it has to do with my 'to-do' list. Honestly, I wish I could clone 10 of me just so I could do all the things that I want to do as well as all the things I HAVE to do.
But I'm realizing that really my problem is that I can't seem to say 'NO', and it's just making things worse.
Also tied to that is trying to daily do God's agenda instead of mine.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
I've sucked at doing that lately.
Thankfully, God's mercies are new every morning (Lam. 3:22-23), so I can hit the restart button and try again tomorrow.
On the upside, I am trying to be more present with my kids and in everything that we're doing each day. Hormones have subsided (which I'm discovering make me really crazy), I'm hardly yelling at all and I'm slowly trying some new techniques with the kids in order to change some behaviours that absolutely HAVE to go (like yesterday or preferably last year!).
So I guess in a way maybe I'm not doing AS bad as I thought I was?
That and I've managed to drop over 5 lbs in the past week- so that's always a bonus, but whatever. Hopefully the trend continues. I'm trying to wrap my brain around the Trim Healthy Mama eating concept, but I'm not doing too well with it yet- mainly just eating less, and what do you know? Pounds leave! What a concept!
But I digress.
Anyway, I have to keep working on getting caught up with my 90 Days Through the Bible challenge with myself as well as everything else on the list before I go to bed. And since I want to get to bed before midnight (instead of at nearly 2 am), I should cut this short today.
Keeping it real, by the grace of God...
