Real Life

Some days are harder than others and I will admit that although some people think I am much stronger than I feel sometimes, days like today I would let them down.  Today I just feel overwhelmed.  I have a TON of homework and am getting behind. I have to be both parents and so need to be with my kids to attend to their needs whatever they may be.  My house needs to be cleaned.  My second daughter is turning 18 in 3 days and I worry I have not done enough to prepare her for life.  I need to do some things for my calling.  Today there seems to be a chink in the armor and this is what is stressing me out..just today.

I try not to whine.  After all we are living a blessed and happy life.  We are all generally healthy.  We have a vehicle that gets us where we need to go and back home again.  We have a warm roof over our heads.  We have our ward family that helps in many ways.  I have my friends that listen to me whine on the rare chance I need to.  :)  We have the gospel and I know my Heavenly Parents love me.  So, sometimes I just feel better when I can vent.  It would be nice to have a break from just most things once in a while.  I realize that a break from all things is pretty unrealistic.

So the bottom line here is we are a real family.  We have real problems and real emotions.  However, when the problems work themselves out, and they usually do, we still have each other.  I still have my kids that I can cuddle up to and tell them that I love them (when they are asleep of course, lol).  I don't want this blog to be misleading in any way.  I don't want anyone to think we have it perfect here, far from it.  I want to be real.  I want to be loved for THAT and not some fictional character that others think I may be.  That is all.
