I am also having a bit of a pity party this week. Is there
ever space for me in my brain?
What about that yoga class I am registered for and never
get too?: What about my own high blood pressure? What about my sleep? My soul? My
sanity? Do I count?
Mothers with three kids…or four kids..or five kids or one
kid..I think we are all in the same boat. Especially we who are
working outside of the home full time (I can just imagine the outrage to this
comment!!!)
Basically my choices as of late are: shall I buy some broccoli
for my family to eat for dinner or shall I fax my doctor to formally commit myself?
Or shall I stand in line for 3 hrs to have my daughter’s spine X-rayed for scoliosis
or shall I get a second electrocardiograph done for my son who is having
another mini panic attack? Shall I take a shower or unblock the toilet? Shall I
do the laundry or sleep part of the night? Shall I load the dishwasher or eat
off the floor tonight which is dirty?
I can’t wait to go to the beach! Opps I forgot! I may not
be going!
I can’t wait until the weekend! Oh no another ski
competition at 6am!
I am so looking forward to Friday night and finally a
date night with my hubby! Opps I forgot no sitter for my daughter.
Well at least Wednesday we get a break as carpooling tomorrow
so not up and out at 6am! Oh forgot..the carpool kid is climbing mount Kilimanjaro
for the next three weeks. The nerve!
Read a book? Ya right!
Watch a movie? Pleeze!
Eat?? Always have time for that.
Yes God please keep piling up the plate..give me problem after
problem after crisis after crisis to solve. Are you trying to get me practicing
praying? It’s working.
Anyways the answer to when will I come first?
Never.
I am a Mother.
Their hearts
will always be more important than mine.
And that is just the way the cookie crumples folks
